What is your personal greatest tech-related achievement?

I don't mean like "I was able to build a computer on my first try!".

 

What's something a little more obscure that you're proud of doing?

 

I'll go first: When i was 14 I taught myself Binary and Hex conversions. I can do them in my head, I can to single and double digit numbers rather easy but high triple digits (Dec) will throw me.

 

Side Note: When i got up to Algebra 2 math in my school i was asked how old i was since i was a year ahead. I held up 4 fingers.

 

EDIT: less confusing

I would say my greatest tech achievement would be... 

Well crap. I haven't done anything.

Had the exact same thing, just a bit less. I taught myself binary at 14 too and how to convert from dec to bin. I just recently learnt hex out of necessity.

I made my own battery powered lego desk fan out of an old 10mm case fan. Not that hard but only thing other than that is me building my PC.

Life is pain. Anyone who says any different is either selling something or the government.

Ok- that's pretty cool.

I'd do this if i could find a good CD that didn't have all these stupid words on them.
