Geeks' Lunch is an invitation-only group of Computer and Internet
professionals
in Southwest Virginia. If you'd like to join, you can't; unless
you can get
one of the current members to vouch for your Geek credentials
(expertise in the
Computer/Internet field.)
Regarding computer technology; chances are if it can be done a
Geeks' Lunch
member has done it; and some do it regularly. :) Chances are if it
can't be
done, a Geeks' lunch member has tried it, and occasionally succeeded.
Geeks' Lunch is a place to share tips, tricks, traps, ideas, plans
and creations
with peers. Its a place to learn, teach, and have folks laugh at the
jokes that
usually draw blanks stares from your other acquaintances. If you like to hack (to extend tools beyond their intended use) is the place for you.
Geeks' Lunch happens every
Tuesday at 11:45 at an eating
establishment in the Blacksburg Area. The actual secret
location
is sent weekly via email to members. It may not even appear on this
list.
Here is a photo of some early
geeks' lunch members. Chances are pretty good that if you're
on the Internet in the New River Valley a Geeks' Lunch member maintains
some of the invisible services that keeps the Internet functioning;
like
the network pipe cleaning done annually in early April.
