Decoded Geek Code

Geek of Information Technology, Geek of Technical Writing.

GEEK DRESS CODE [d?(+$)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I have no idea what I am wearing right now, let alone what I wore yesterday.", to: "Good leisure-wear. Slacks, button-shirt, etc. No jeans, tennis shoes, or t-shirts. Getting paid for it!"

GEEK SHAPE CODE [s:]

I'm an average geek.

GEEK AGE CODE [a@]

My age is 30-39. But that varies...

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

GEEK GNU/LINUX CODE [L+@]

I've managed to get GNU/Linux installed and even used it a few times. It seems like it is just another OS. But that varies...

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 EMACS CODE [E-]

Emacs is too big and bloated for my tastes

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

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 VMS CODE [V]

I've used VMS.

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

My tendencies on this issue range from: "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.", to: "Legalize drugs! Abolish the government. Fuck the draft!"

GEEK POLITICS & ECONOMIC ISSUES CODE [PE]

Distrust both government and business.

GEEK CYPHERPUNKS CODE [Y++]

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've used it, but stopped long ago.

GEEK STAR TREK CODE [t+]

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++]

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(+)]

GEEK DILBERT CODE [DI++]

I work with people that act a lot like Dilbert and his boss.

GEEK DOOM CODE [D++]

I've played the shareware version and bought the real one and I'm actually pretty good at the game. I occasionally download PWAD files and play them too.

THE GEEK CODE [G-]

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".

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%(*)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I was going out with someone, but the asshole dumped me.", to: "signifying membership in the SBCA (Sour Bachelor(ette)'s Club of America). The motto is 'Bitter, but not Desperate'. First founded at Caltech."

GEEK SEX CODE [y++*]

Male. I was once referred to as 'easy'. I have no idea where that might have come from though. I'm a pervert.
