Depending on my mood, I am any one of the following:

Professional nerd

I get paid, but I'm weird, so back off!

i have a desk job

i really really don't want to talk about it

Systems Analyst

just want to confuse the person so that we can get on with more interesting topics, like 'how old are your kids'

Scientist

my true calling but currently not working in my field of endeavour

Title:
Use: <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and: <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).

Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
