Fringe hobby thrills

[kevinthenerd]

Does anyone here have any unusual likings to working with computers? Personally, I think I like the hum of a 10000rpm RAID setup or the smell of ozone from a big rackmount.

I'm into cars, so I like even more the smell of unburnt gas from a car that runs too rich or the sound of a Porsche Carrera GT revving from idle to redline in a fraction of a second.

Does anyone else have a weird fringe fancy to their hobbies?

I like teh smell of diesel. WAtching a 120 foot boomspray in action is pretty sweet too 😉

Swimmers may like the sounds of splashing or the feel of cool water rushing past their faces. Bikers might like that clicking sound when you coast on a multi-speed bike. Math nerds might like graphite dust or chalk dust. You either know what I'm talking about or you don't. If you don't, you can call me crazy all you want, but nothing will guarantee that I'll listen to it.
