It can be sort of hypnotic. I think a disk defragger that looks like Tetris could be neat (the idea thefted from something Val_B mentioned a while back).

Either watching a disk being defragmented is more popular than I thought or he/she was very bored.

Re: you might be a nerd if...

I've watched my disks defrag before....lately I just spend all day playing around in packet tracer and wireshark if I don't have any homework to do.

If it makes you feel better, I'm sure all your conky setups do qualify you as more nerdy than many Windows users big_smile

...the terminal is your favoured method of doing things.

...having your computer working just the way you want to is more important than having dinner.

...you're playing nethack-like games, while your lazy peers are playing Black Ops.

...your Conky config is the desktop... (I'm jealous.)http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/post/103423/#p103423
