Decoded Geek Code

GEEK TYPE CODE [GB/CM/CS/L/M/S]

Geek of Business, Geek of Computer Management, Geek of Computer Science, Geek of Literature, Geek of Math, Geek of Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, etc.).

GEEK DRESS CODE [d-(pu)>!]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I'm usually in jeans and a t-shirt.", to: "I wear the same clothes all the time, no matter the occasion, forgetting to do laundry between wearings." But someday I'd like to say: "No clothing. Quite a fashion statement, don't you think?"

GEEK SHAPE CODE [s+++:--->:]

I usually have to duck through doors. My bones are poking through my skin. But someday I'd like to say: "I'm an average geek."

GEEK AGE CODE [a--(----)>?--]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "My age is 20-24.", to: "My age is 10-14." But someday I'd like to say: "I am immortal. My age is 20-24."

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

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I'll be first in line to get the new cybernetic interface installed into my skull.", to: "Computers are a tool, nothing more. I use it when it serves my purpose." 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 [ULB*++(+++)>++++]

I use GNU/Linux, BSD and some other(s) not listed. My tendencies on this issue range from: "I've get the entire admin ticked off at me because I am always using all of the CPU time and trying to run programs that I don't have access to. I'm going to try cracking /etc/passwd next week, just don't tell anyone.", to: "I don't need to crack /etc/passwd because I just modified su so that it doesn't prompt me. The admin staff doesn't even know I'm here. If you don't understand what I just said, this category does NOT apply to you!" 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."

GEEK PERL CODE [P++++(+++)>+++++]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I don't write Perl, I speak it. Perl has superseded all other programming languages. I firmly believe that all programs can be reduced to a Perl one-liner. I use Perl to achieve U+++ status.", to: "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." But someday I'd like to say: "I am Larry Wall, Tom Christiansen, or Randal Schwartz."

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

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I use GNU/Linux exclusively on my system. I monitor comp.os.linux.* and even answer questions sometimes.", to: "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." But someday I'd like to say: "I've managed to get GNU/Linux installed and even used it a few times. It seems like it is just another OS."

GEEK EMACS CODE [!E---]

I refuse to categorize myself on Emacs. But if I did participate in this category, I would characterize myself as follows: "Emacs sucks! vi forever!!!"

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

My tendencies on this issue range from: "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.", to: "A pox on the Web! It wastes time and bandwidth and just gives the uneducated morons a reason to clutter the Internet." But someday I'd like to say: "I have the latest version of Netscape, and wander the web only when there's something specific I'm looking for."

GEEK USENET CODE [N+++(++)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I read so many news groups that the next batch of news comes in before I finish reading the last batch, and I have to read for about 2 hours straight before I'm caught up on the morning's news. Then there's the afternoon...", to: "I read all the news in a select handful of groups."
