Mike, if you've met my friend Joannaex, you'll realise how true that is.
She kicks butt. Literally and metaphorically!

I believe the real question here is: Are there any men with enough balls to handle women who frequent xda-devs.

The last guy with big balls who tried to take on JoannaEx:

http://www.jollup.com/dates/images/17th/buster_gonad.jpg

I don't think this thread was intended to be sexist IIRC, but I think inevitably in a male dominated field like this, guys think they have the upper hand. I work as a lawyer, another male dominated field, but the smartest lawyers I ever met were women. I know many very highly skilled ladeez who share our passion for rom hacking and tweaking etc.

So IMHO it's best not to joke too loudly about geek girls - I don't think many men would take a knife to your gonads, but we know that women are mentally equipped in uterus for a pre-emptive de-gonadification. And buying all those handbags and shoes is a stronger motivator.

My wife put her Motorola pink phone thing in the washing machine recently (no joke...), so as a temporary measure she used my old xda mini s....

I am glad to inform that she is in love with it! Certainly not using it to its full potential (and neither am I), however she's loves the layout, email, notes, the keyboard, and of course solitaire ;)

07-08-2007, 01:57 PM
Mrs Vijay555 uses my old p900, with heavy modifications. And she uses it very competently...

I still think it's a more usable phone then my Windows Mobiles, but I can do more hacking and coding for the Windows phones, so we're both happy. However, she's got her eyes on an iphone as soon they're released in the UK :( Woe is me.

Mrs V is not a geek by any measure, but she has a 6th sense for when I've done something naughty, and then she turns into Trinity, burning through my passwords, hidden folders and encryption like a girl possessed. I've learnt it's best not to be naughty: she's got a mean punch.

Unlike Vijay's partner, my love is quite a PPC-addict(now, WM professional addict :D). She has owned many Pocket PCs till now like himalaya, wizard, universal etc.
Currently she owns a universal and is probably one of few girls in the world who like to carry universal whereever she goes.
Damn, the universal does not enters my jean's pocket, but, enters her purse easily :(

Anybody wanna say "While you're down there...."? I had the pleasure of explaining that to Mrs V recently.

BTW Mike, Mrs V is quite a hotty, IMHO! When you've licked as much butt as I have, anything is up so to speak.

Well, some genetic research is pointing to the fact that the Y chromosome is shrinking (it is already smaller then X) and that in a millennium or two may disappear completely.

So I guess we should just enjoy being guys while we can cause soon the question on the top of the thread will become irrelevant:D:D:D:D

I tried the 'While you're down there..' line ..

I was quickly met with a 'Remember that next time we pass a jewelry store.. 'While we are here...' .. ' ... I then responded.. 'Ok, bed time.'

Having lived in the US for some 12 years now I feel it is my patriotic duty to point out that someone must be blamed for this little mishap.

I'd like to blame Bush, but as much of a screwup that he is, this isn't really his fault... he's too much of an idiot to be blamed for this.

Blaming the government as a whole also doesn't do anything because even after smelling a cow's rear end they won't be abe to figure out what they just smelled.

MTV is the next likely candidate and I believe some blame must be assigned to this completely useless form of disentertainment. But still... not quite enough.

At this point I am lost and I also just realized that I may may have committed threadcrapping :p

Cast iron skillets say it all without words, don't they! Whacked my first ex up side the head with one. Sent him packing with nothing but his boots, hat, and guitar.

Surprised the name didn't give me away - but yep, all woman. Also the Director of IT at a CI group; spend my free time tearing things apart to see how they work.

Really don't understand why you men think women wouldn't have an interest in the same toys as you. We're actually working on getting the vibrate feature to be a tad bit stronger and market the pda's to a new subgroup of women.

And at this point, I would just like to note that yes it is true, I lick. Pretty damn well too. Facing the correct side, whereas you boys seem to be more interested in the back side licking... hmmm... Do you also keep your HTCs in satin pink cases? I know VJ keeps his in a lace one.

I love my toys although you are right, it's a male dominated toy field with a low WAF. And I do have to deal with people looking at me funny when I open my mouth and blaber something in tech talk. Sometimes they get this look on their face... the one you'd see if you landed the Challenger on their front lawn and little green men came out.

Thanx for the kind words... that's what the buzzdev lurking comment was about I hope lol. I don't write there much. It's a bit too geeky even for me. :D

Ok, just to put it all on the table, so to speak:

1. Yes, yes, I went to a boys only school. Yes, our hockey teacher was a little bit camp and joined us in the showers.
http://media.lawrence.com/img/photos/2004/02/04/1b.jpg
[a memorable parent/teacher evening with the Hockey Teacher]

2. joannaex: "Facing the correct side, whereas you boys seem to be more interested in the back side licking... hmmm".
Women surely need to come with a quick start guide, a dummies guide, if you will.

My efforts at inserting my dongle into the auxiliary port have been unsuccessful thus far: clearly I'm using a Mini Firewire and require some variety of round ended port adaptor. Repeated efforts merely resulted in several reboots to the gonads. In future I will apply copious quantities of silver/gold based thermal compound in advance to assist.

Fortunately, Mrs V grounded me with a large iron skillet, which had the desired effect and resulted in a rapid reduction in my overheating system.

3. "VJ keeps his in a lace one":
A funny (but true) story - when I got my very first PDA, the venerable Palm Pilot, I hand stitched a holster to wear it under my suit (yes, I work in an S&M club. PVC shows all the unfortunate bulges). I even dyed it black so it'd look cool. However, after a significant amount of concerted effort and labour....
http://blog.vividrealism.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/10/hro_102_21.jpg
- it looked crap.

There is a happy ending to the story though! Shopping in Spain for Little Vijay555.1, I noticed that a knitted cotton booty (a baby's sock) is the perfect size and material to protect my phone/blackberry from my overclocked subsystem (my tinky winky). So now I carry my gadgets around in a baby blue sock. Try it, you might like it.

http://www.knitaddicted.com/html/img/biyarnbooty.jpg
[FYI: don't try searching for 'booty' on google while you're at work. The word seems to have a different meaning outside of the UK, and brought up the wrong variety of cherubs. Many sites now bookmarked for subsequent perusal.]

Ok. Enough for now. Need to watch Heroes!

My boy and my gal are also enjoying my iPaq for Games.

Two little life episodes come to mind...

1. Years ago I started working in a pizza joint owned by a greek fella named Steve. When this Italian friend of mine heard about it he warned me to watch out for my behind because greek men apparently like that body part a little too much :)

2. I once saw a cartoon of a woman coming out of the surgery room where they had moved her ass from the back to the front. The title of the cartoon: "The perfect greek wife" :D

I am not even going to try to de-stereotype your pretty little heads (both bottom and top). Yes Greek men do share a fondness for umm well VJ explained it in geek speak a few posts up. However, I can assure you, they do so well in the ummm general procreational department, that we do allow them the luxury of poking around those places.

BTW there is a need to watch your back because although they don't umm use lace like VJ, they will screw anything (the saying goes: all ummm "connectors" are the same when the lights are out).

Greek wives will kick ur ass. Literally. Women are so impossible, I wonder how other women live with them. I mean being impossible is one thing. Making a couple out full moon/this time of month/I have a headache/whine/bitch/moan is something that sends shivers down my spine. If I had to marry myself I'd shoot me.

True on all counts there :)

But as I have always seen it (Im only half greek, I spend 99% of my time in the UK) greek(cypriot,etc) men just seem to turn their wives into their own mothers after the first child!

Then they get bored and go hunting for a "play" thing ot two...or three...or four....


Back to the subject though, I am glad to see some women on the board.

My Ex wasnt particularly tech savvy, asking her to record something on the humax pvr would be like asking a paraplegic to scale the north face of the igor, also she owned a n-o-k-i-a (Whatever one of those is?!) and she certainly didnt like me playing with my wizard.
(After the first week of CID unlocking it, me and the sofa became rather well acquainted)
