Decoded Geek Code

GEEK TYPE CODE [GED/CS/P]

Geek of Education, Geek of Computer Science, Geek of Philosophy.

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 look up to most people. I tend to have to fight against a strong breeze.

GEEK AGE CODE [a-]

My age is 25-29.

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

My tendencies on this issue range from: "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.", to: "You mean there is life outside of Internet? You're shittin' me! I haven't dragged myself to class in weeks."

GEEK UNIX CODE [UL>+++]

I use GNU/Linux exclusively. I have a unix account to do my stuff in. But someday I'd like to say: "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!"

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

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Perl users are sick, twisted programmers who are just showing off.", 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." 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 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 someday I'd like to say: "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."

GEEK EMACS CODE [E----]

Emacs sucks! pico forever!!!

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.

GEEK USENET CODE [N]

Usenet News? Sure, I read that once.

GEEK USENET ORACLE CODE [o?]

Usenet Oracle? I don't even know what that is...

GEEK KIBO CODE [K-]

I don't know who Kibo is.

GEEK MICROSOFT WINDOWS CODE [w+(++)@]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I have installed my own custom sounds, wallpaper, and screen savers so my PC walks and talks like a fun house. Oh yeah, I have a hundred TrueType(tm) fonts that I've installed but never used. I never lose Minesweeper and Solitaire", to: "I write MS Windows programs in C and think about using C++ someday. I've written at least one DLL." But that varies...

GEEK MACINTOSH CODE [M-(--)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Macs suck. All real geeks have a character prompt.", to: "Macs do more than suck. They make a user stupid by allowing them to use the system without knowing what they are doing. Mac weenies have lower IQs than the fuzz in my navel."

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-]

It's ok to increase government spending, so we can help more poor people. Tax the rich! Cut the defense budget!

GEEK CYPHERPUNKS CODE [Y+]

I have an interest and concern in privacy issues, but in reality I am not really all that active or vocal.

GEEK PGP CODE [PGP(-)>+++]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I've used it, but stopped long ago.", to: "I don't have anything to hide." 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 a damn fine TV show and is one of the only things good on television any more.", to: "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]

I've seen it, I am pretty indifferent to it.

GEEK X FILES CODE [X+(-)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I've Converted my family and watch the show when I remember. It's really kinda fun.", to: "It's ok if you like paranoia and conspiracy stories, but, let's face it, it's crap."

GEEK ROLE-PLAYING CODE [R-]

Gosh, what an utter waste of time!

GEEK TELEVISION CODE [!tv]

I do not own a television.

GEEK BOOKS CODE [b++>+++]

I find the time to get through at least one new book a month. But someday I'd like to say: "I consume a few books a week as part of a staple diet."

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 game and really didn't think it was all that impressive.

THE GEEK CODE [G+]

I was once G++ (or higher), but the new versions are getting too long and too complicated.

GEEK EDUCATION CODE [e*]

I learned everything there is to know about life from the "Hitchhiker's Trilogy".

GEEK EDUCATION CODE [e-]

Haven't finished High School.

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

Got a Baccalaureate degree. But someday I'd like to say: "Got a Masters degree."

GEEK HOUSING CODE [h--->++]

Married, (persons living romantically with someone might as well label themselves h---, you're as good as there already.) But someday I'd like to say: "Living in a cave with 47 computers and an Internet feed, located near a Dominoes pizza. See !d."

GEEK RELATIONSHIPS CODE [r++]

I've dated my current S.O. for a long time.

GEEK SEX CODE [y+]

Male. I've had real, live sex.
