Decoded Geek Code

GEEK TYPE CODE [GCS]

Geek of Computer Science.

GEEK DRESS CODE [d-@]

I'm usually in jeans and a t-shirt. But that varies...

GEEK SHAPE CODE [s+:+]

I'm a little taller than most. I'm a little rounder than most.

GEEK AGE CODE [a]

My age is 30-39.

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.

GEEK UNIX CODE [UBS++++$]

I use BSD and SunOS/Solaris. 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. Getting paid for it!

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

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Perl is a powerful programming tool. I don't write shell scripts anymore because I write them in Perl.", 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."

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 have no desire to use GNU/Linux and frankly don't give a rats patootie about it. There are other, better, operating systems out there. Like Mac, DOS, or Amiga-OS. Or, better yet even, would be another free Unix OS like FreeBSD."

GEEK EMACS CODE [E++?]

I know and use elisp regularly! Emacs? I don't even know what that is...

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]

I refuse to categorize myself on Usenet Oracle.

GEEK KIBO CODE [K-]

I don't know who Kibo is.

GEEK MICROSOFT WINDOWS CODE [w--]

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-]

Tried it, didn't like it.

GEEK MACINTOSH CODE [M-]

Macs suck. All real geeks have a character prompt.

GEEK VMS CODE [V--]

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]

Distrust both government and business.

GEEK CYPHERPUNKS CODE [Y]

I'm pretty indifferent on the whole issue.

GEEK PGP CODE [PGP+]

"Finger me for my public key".

GEEK STAR TREK CODE [t--]

Star Trek is just another Space Opera. William Shatner isn't an actor, he's a poser! And what's with this Jean-Luc Picard? A Frenchman with a British accent? Come on. I'd only watch this show if my remote control broke. Isn't Voyager just a rehash of Lost in Space? Has Sisko even breathed in the last two seasons?

GEEK BABYLON 5 CODE [5--]

You call this Sci-Fi? That is such a load of crap! This show is just a soap with bad actors, piss-poor effects, and lame storylines. Puh-leese.

GEEK X FILES CODE [X--]

If I wanted to watch this kind of stuff, I'd talk to Oliver Stone

GEEK ROLE-PLAYING CODE [R-]

Gosh, what an utter waste of time!

GEEK TELEVISION CODE [tv--]

I turn my tv on during natural disasters.

GEEK BOOKS CODE [b+++]

I consume a few books a week as part of a staple diet.
