Decoded Geek Code

GEEK TYPE CODE [GCS/M/U]

Geek of Computer Science, Geek of Math, Geek of Undecided.

GEEK DRESS CODE [d?]

I have no idea what I am wearing right now, let alone what I wore yesterday.

GEEK SHAPE CODE [s:]

I'm an average geek.

GEEK AGE CODE [a?]

I am immortal.

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

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. But someday I'd like to say: "I'll be first in line to get the new cybernetic interface installed into my skull. Getting paid for it!"

GEEK UNIX CODE [UL++++(---)]

I use GNU/Linux exclusively. My tendencies on this issue range from: "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.", to: "Unix geeks are actually nerds in disguise."

GEEK PERL CODE [P(---)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I know Perl exists, but that's all.", to: "Perl combines the power of sh, the clarity of sed, and the performance of awk with the simplicity of C. It should be banned."

GEEK GNU/LINUX CODE [L+++@]

I use GNU/Linux exclusively on my system. I monitor comp.os.linux.* and even answer questions sometimes. But that varies...

GEEK EMACS CODE [E]

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

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: "The web is really a pain. Life was so much easier when you could transfer information by simple ASCII. Now everyone won't even consider your ideas unless you spiff them up with bandwidth-consuming pictures and pointless information links."

GEEK USENET CODE [N+]

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

GEEK USENET ORACLE CODE [o--@]

Who needs answers from a bunch of geeks anyhow? But that varies...

GEEK KIBO CODE [K?]

Kibo? I don't even know what that is...

GEEK MICROSOFT WINDOWS CODE [w---]

Windows has set back the computing industry by at least 10 years. Bill Gates should be drawn, quartered, hung, shot, poisoned, disembowelled, and then REALLY hurt.

GEEK OS/2 CODE [!O]

I refuse to categorize myself on OS/2.

GEEK MACINTOSH CODE [M-@]

Macs suck. All real geeks have a character prompt. But that varies...

GEEK VMS CODE [V?]

VMS? I don't even know what that is...

GEEK POLITICS & SOCIAL ISSUES CODE [PS+++]

Legalize drugs! Abolish the government. Fuck the draft!

GEEK POLITICS & ECONOMIC ISSUES CODE [PE++()]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Keep the government off the backs of businesses. Deregulate as much as possible.", to: "Distrust both government and business."

GEEK CYPHERPUNKS CODE [Y+(++)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I have an interest and concern in privacy issues, but in reality I am not really all that active or vocal.", to: "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 have the most recent version and use it regularly. 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(-)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "It's just another TV show.", to: "Maybe it is just me, but I have no idea what the big deal with Star Trek is. Perhaps I'm missing something but I just think it is bad drama."

GEEK BABYLON 5 CODE [5?]

Babylon 5? I don't even know what that is...

GEEK X FILES CODE [X?]

X Files? I don't even know what that is...

GEEK ROLE-PLAYING CODE [R]

Role-Playing? That's just something to do to kill a Saturday afternoon.

GEEK TELEVISION CODE [tv--]

I turn my tv on during natural disasters.

GEEK BOOKS CODE [b++(+)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I find the time to get through at least one new book a month.", to: "I enjoy reading, but don't get the time very often."

GEEK DILBERT CODE [DI(+)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I read Dilbert infrequently, rarely understanding it.", to: "I read Dilbert daily, often understanding it."

GEEK DOOM CODE [D+()]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "It's a fun, action game that is a nice diversion on a lazy afternoon.", to: "I've played the game and I'm pretty indifferent."

THE GEEK CODE [G(-)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I know what the geek code is and even did up this code.", to: "What a tremendous waste of time this Geek Code is."

GEEK EDUCATION CODE [e*>+++++]

I learned everything there is to know about life from the "Hitchhiker's Trilogy". But someday I'd like to say: "I am Stephen Hawking."

GEEK HOUSING CODE [h!(+)>*]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I am stuck living with my parents!", to: "Living alone, get out once a week to buy food, no more than once a month to do laundry. All surfaces covered." But someday I'd like to say: "I'm not sure where I live anymore. This lab/workplace seems like home to me."
