Does this make me a nerd?

I decided to try out Windows XP remote desktop; I am rather new to the networking seen and it took me a good part of the day and night to figuring out the ports and how to get it all up and working through a ddwrt and vonage router. So here I am at 3am, I have tested it locally and it works perfectly, but did I get the port forwarding right on the routers? When I connect locally, it appears I have to do it by computer name. I want to test it so bad, but at 3am I think a married man could get into some trouble if caught. Yet still I am tempted to sneak out, drive down the road, and connect to a coffee shop wifi just to try it out. How could I explain my way out of that one though? What a risk I am willing to take for technology.
And, down to the real question, does this mean I am now a geek?
