That is great that you are looking for friends. But maybe you should try to come down and interact with normal people who are not geeks ;-)?

I don't see anything wrong in going out and having a pint of good Belgium beer ;)!

We don't really have any around here. The situation in Belgium is a bit different compared to, let's say London, or the US I guess.

And if we have any form of "computer club", it's usually at the very entry level of "how do I make a HTML page" or "how does Word work" stuff of topics. No offense to the people investing time in it, but given the fact that conversation usually follows the pace of the person knowing the least, chats at such a club wear me down more than entertain me.

I like teaching and sharing, but when you've done that for years and most of the conversations you have turn out to be some sort of user helpdesk support, you get tired of having conversations like that ;)

You could visit the local (or nearest) Microsoft User Group. You should be able to meet a bunch of like-minded (relative to you) people :-)

YouTube, hmm, such a spammy and hostile environment as well, everytime I look at comments I see loads of spam and insults flying around.

Marc, tag! :p I'll send a mail ;)

"My surroundings don't have a clue what I'm talking about". Do you talk to your surroundings? LOL. The YouTube Community is quite effective in developing friendships among strangers. I've made lots of friends through YouTube even though I did not originally go there looking for friends. Recently I went to Philadelphia and met many of the people I interact with online.

The IT Toolbox web site is also a good place to connect with many geeks.

Hey friend. ;-)

Let's do a Blog tag, the time is right.

Tag who you want, ask us/them to tell at least 5 things.

Salute,
