Decoded Geek Code

GEEK TYPE CODE [GM$]

Geek of Math Getting paid for it!.

GEEK DRESS CODE [d]

I dress a lot like those found in catalog ads. Bland, boring, without life or meaning.

GEEK SHAPE CODE [s+:-]

I'm a little taller than most. Everyone tells me to gain a few pounds.

GEEK AGE CODE [a]

My age is 30-39.

GEEK COMPUTERS CODE [C+]

Computers are fun and I enjoy using them. I play a mean game of DOOM! and can use a word processor without resorting to the manual too often. I know that a 3.5" disk is not a hard disk. I also know that when it says 'press any key to continue', I don't have to look for a key labeled 'ANY'.

GEEK UNIX CODE [U]

I have a unix account to do my stuff in.

GEEK PERL CODE [P+++]

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]

I know what GNU/Linux is, but that's about all.

GEEK EMACS CODE [E]

Yeah, I know what emacs is, and use it as my regular editor.

GEEK WORLD WIDE WEB CODE [W++]

I have a homepage. I surf daily. My homepage is advertised in my .signature.

GEEK USENET CODE [N+]

I read news recreationally when I have some time to kill.

GEEK USENET ORACLE CODE [o?]

Usenet Oracle? I don't even know what that is...

GEEK KIBO CODE [K-]

I don't know who Kibo is.

GEEK MICROSOFT WINDOWS CODE [w]

Ok, so I use MS Windows, I don't have to like it.

GEEK OS/2 CODE [!O]

I refuse to categorize myself on OS/2.

GEEK MACINTOSH CODE [!M-]

I refuse to categorize myself on Macintosh. But if I did participate in this category, I would characterize myself as follows: "Macs suck. All real geeks have a character prompt."

GEEK VMS CODE [!V--]

I refuse to categorize myself on VMS. But if I did participate in this category, I would characterize myself as follows: "I would rather smash my head repeatedly into a brick wall than suffer the agony of working with VMS. It's reminiscent of a dead and decaying pile of moose droppings. Unix rules the universe."

GEEK POLITICS & SOCIAL ISSUES CODE [PS+]

My whole concept of liberalism is that nobody has the right to tell anybody else what to do, on either side of the political fence. If you don't like it, turn the bloody channel.

GEEK POLITICS & ECONOMIC ISSUES CODE [PE-]

It's ok to increase government spending, so we can help more poor people. Tax the rich! Cut the defense budget!

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.

GEEK PGP CODE [PGP]

I've used it, but stopped long ago.

GEEK STAR TREK CODE [t(+)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "It's just another TV show.", to: "It's a damn fine TV show and is one of the only things good on television any more."

GEEK BABYLON 5 CODE [5]

I've seen it, I am pretty indifferent to it.

GEEK X FILES CODE [X(++)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Ho hum. Just another Fox show.", to: "This is one of the better shows I've seen. I wish I'd taped everything from the start at SP, because I'm wearing out my EP tapes. I'll periodically debate online. I've Converted at least 5 people. I've gotten a YAXA."

GEEK ROLE-PLAYING CODE [R-]

Gosh, what an utter waste of time!

GEEK TELEVISION CODE [tv@]

I watch only the shows that are actually worthwhile, such as those found on PBS. But that varies...

GEEK BOOKS CODE [b+>++]

I enjoy reading, but don't get the time very often. But someday I'd like to say: "I find the time to get through at least one new book a month."

GEEK DILBERT CODE [DI+]

I read Dilbert daily, often understanding it.

GEEK DOOM CODE [!D]

I refuse to categorize myself on Doom.

THE GEEK CODE [G]

I know what the geek code is and even did up this code.

GEEK EDUCATION CODE [e+++]

Got a Masters degree.

GEEK HOUSING CODE [h+]

Living alone, get out once a week to buy food, no more than once a month to do laundry. All surfaces covered.

GEEK RELATIONSHIPS CODE [r-->++]

People just aren't interested in dating me. But someday I'd like to say: "I've dated my current S.O. for a long time."

GEEK SEX CODE [y]

Male. I've had sex. Oh! You mean with someone else? Then no.
