Congratulations to Matthew who own the blog sharethemoneywith.us. He is our first Geek of the week and scores a point towards being Geek of the year. A few suggestions that we will be adding to the Geek of the week moving forward. The questions will be harder and we will not post answers to the question on the blog until the following Sunday.

This weeks questions are:

1. What IP would you ping to ping your local host?
2. Other then WEBrick, what are the other 3 server software’s you can run Ruby on Rails on?
3. What famous Geek invented BeOS? and where did he work before that?
4. Where did the name Google originate from?
5. What would the command du –max-depth=1 do in Linux?

We are adding another new feature to the blog. Each week (on Sunday) we will post a list of 5 questions. Answer the 5 questions in the comments and a winner will be selected from whoever has the most correct answers on the following Sunday. The winner will receive a free link back to there site or blog. At the end of the year we will award the Geek of the Year a cash prize and trophy. To win Geek of the Year you will need to win the most Geek of the Week’s throughout that year.
