Decoded Geek Code

GEEK TYPE CODE [GIT/M/TW]

Geek of Information Technology, Geek of Math, Geek of Technical Writing.

GEEK DRESS CODE [d-(+)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I'm usually in jeans and a t-shirt.", to: "Good leisure-wear. Slacks, button-shirt, etc. No jeans, tennis shoes, or t-shirts."

GEEK SHAPE CODE [s-:]

I look up to most people.

GEEK AGE CODE [a]

My age is 30-39.

GEEK COMPUTERS CODE [C++(+++)$>++++]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Computers are a large part of my existence. When I get up in the morning, the first thing I do is log myself in. I play games or mud on weekends, but still manage to stay off of academic probation.", to: "You mean there is life outside of Internet? You're shittin' me! I haven't dragged myself to class in weeks." Getting paid for it! But someday I'd like to say: "I'll be first in line to get the new cybernetic interface installed into my skull."

GEEK UNIX CODE [USC(on)>++++$]

I use SunOS/Solaris and SCO Unix. My tendencies on this issue range from: "I have a unix account to do my stuff in.", to: "" But someday I'd like to say: "I am the sysadmin. If you try and crack my machine don't be surprised if the municipal works department gets an "accidental" computer-generated order to start a new landfill on your front lawn or your quota is reduced to 4K. Getting paid for it!"

GEEK PERL CODE [P+>+++]

I know of perl. I like perl. I just haven't learned much perl, but it is on my agenda. But someday I'd like to say: "Perl is a very powerful programming tool. Not only do I no longer write shell scripts, I also no longer use awk or sed. I use Perl for all programs of less than a thousand lines."

GEEK GNU/LINUX CODE [L+(++)>++++$]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I've managed to get GNU/Linux installed and even used it a few times. It seems like it is just another OS.", to: "I use GNU/Linux ALMOST exclusively on my system. I've given up trying to achieve GNU/Linux.God status, but welcome the OS as a replacement for DOS. I only boot to DOS to play games." But someday I'd like to say: "I am a GNU/Linux wizard. I munch C code for breakfast and have enough room left over for a kernel debugging. I have so many patches installed that I lost track about ten versions ago. GNU/Linux newbies consider me a net.god. Getting paid for it!"

GEEK EMACS CODE [!E]

I refuse to categorize myself on Emacs.

GEEK WORLD WIDE WEB CODE [W++(+++)>$]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I have a homepage. I surf daily. My homepage is advertised in my .signature.", to: "I am a WebMaster. Don't even think about trying to view my homepage without the latest version of Netscape. When I'm not on my normal net connection, I surf the web using my Newton and a cellular modem." But someday I'd like to say: "Getting paid for it!"

GEEK POLITICS & ECONOMIC ISSUES CODE [PE(-)@]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Distrust both government and business.", to: "It's ok to increase government spending, so we can help more poor people. Tax the rich! Cut the defense budget!" But that varies...

GEEK CYPHERPUNKS CODE [Y+@>++]

I have an interest and concern in privacy issues, but in reality I am not really all that active or vocal. But that varies... But someday I'd like to say: "I am on the cypherpunks mailing list and active around Usenet. I never miss an opportunity to talk about the evils of Clipper and ITAR and the NSA. Orwell's 1984 is more than a story, it is a warning to our's and future generations. I'm a member of the EFF."

GEEK PGP CODE [!PGP>+++]

I refuse to categorize myself on PGP. But if I did participate in this category, I would characterize myself as follows: "I've used it, but stopped long ago. But someday I'd like to say: "I don't send or answer mail that is not encrypted, or at the very least signed. If you are reading this without decrypting it first, something is wrong. IT DIDN'T COME FROM ME!""

GEEK STAR TREK CODE [t@]

It's just another TV show. But that varies...

GEEK BOOKS CODE [b+@>++++$]

I enjoy reading, but don't get the time very often. But that varies... But someday I'd like to say: "I read a book a day. I have library cards in three states. I have discount cards from every major bookstore. I've ordered books from another country to get my Favorite Author Fix. Getting paid for it!"

GEEK DILBERT CODE [DI+(++)>++++]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I read Dilbert daily, often understanding it.", to: "I work with people that act a lot like Dilbert and his boss." But someday I'd like to say: "I've received mail from Scott Adams. I'm in the DNRC (Dogbert's New Ruling Class)."

GEEK DOOM CODE [D+]

It's a fun, action game that is a nice diversion on a lazy afternoon.

THE GEEK CODE [G++(+)@]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I know what each letter means, but sometimes have to look up the specifics.", to: "I was once G++ (or higher), but the new versions are getting too long and too complicated." But that varies...

Got a Baccalaureate degree.

GEEK HOUSING CODE [h--]

Living with one or more people who know nothing about being a Geek and refuse to watch Babylon 5.
