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

GEEK UNIX CODE [UBC(+++)>++++]

I use BSD and SCO Unix. My tendencies on this issue range from: "I have a unix account to do my stuff in.", 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 know of perl. I like perl. I just haven't learned much perl, but it is on my agenda.", to: "Perl is a powerful programming tool. I don't write shell scripts anymore because I write them in Perl." 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'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.

GEEK EMACS CODE [E--?]

Emacs is just a fancy word processor Emacs? I don't even know what that is...

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

GEEK MICROSOFT WINDOWS CODE [!w--]

I refuse to categorize myself on MicroSoft Windows. But if I did participate in this category, I would characterize myself as follows: "MS Windows is a joke operating system. Hell, it's not even an operating system. NT is Not Tough enough for me either. 95 is how may times it will crash an hour."

GEEK OS/2 CODE [O----?]

I am Bill Gates of Borg. OS/2 is irrelevant. OS/2? I don't even know what that is...

GEEK MACINTOSH CODE [M++$>$]

I am a Mac guru. Anything those DOS putzes and unix nerds can do, I can do better, and if not, I'll write the damn software to do it. Getting paid for it! But someday I'd like to say: "Getting paid for it!"

Unix is much better than VMS for my computing needs. VMS? I don't even know what that is...

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: "I give to liberal causes. I march for gay rights. I'm a card carrying member of the ACLU. Keep abortion safe and legal."

GEEK POLITICS & ECONOMIC ISSUES CODE [PE]

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(+)>+++]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I've used it, but stopped long ago.", to: ""Finger me for my public key"." 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 the best show around. I have all the episodes and the movies on tape and can quote entire scenes verbatim. I've built a few of the model kits too. But you'll never catch me at one of those conventions. Those people are kooks.

GEEK BABYLON 5 CODE [!5]

I refuse to categorize myself on Babylon 5.

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>++]

I know what the geek code is and even did up this code. But someday I'd like to say: "I know what each letter means, but sometimes have to look up the specifics."

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

Got a Baccalaureate degree. But someday I'd like to say: "I am Stephen Hawking."

GEEK HOUSING CODE [h(+)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Friends come over to visit every once in a while to talk about Geek things. There is a place for them to sit.", to: "Living alone, get out once a week to buy food, no more than once a month to do laundry. All surfaces covered."
