Decoded Geek Code

GEEK TYPE CODE [GAT]

Geek of All Trades.

GEEK DRESS CODE [d++(-)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I tend to wear conservative dress such as a business suit or worse, a tie.", to: "I'm usually in jeans and a t-shirt."

GEEK SHAPE CODE [s+:-(+:+)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I'm a little taller than most. Everyone tells me to gain a few pounds.", to: "I'm a little taller than most. I'm a little rounder than most."

GEEK AGE CODE [a?]

I am immortal.

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

My tendencies on this issue range from: "You mean there is life outside of Internet? You're shittin' me! I haven't dragged myself to class in weeks.", to: "If you even mention computers, I will rip your head off!"

GEEK UNIX CODE [UL+++>++++]

I use GNU/Linux exclusively. 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 GNU/LINUX CODE [L++>++++$]

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. I only boot to DOS to play games. 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. Getting paid for it!"

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: "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 Perl has superseded all other programming languages.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."

GEEK EMACS CODE [E--]

Emacs is just a fancy word processor

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 WORLD WIDE WEB CODE [W-]

The web is really a pain. Life was so much easier when you could transfer information by simple ASCII. Now everyone won't even consider your ideas unless you spiff them up with bandwidth- consuming pictures and pointless information links.

GEEK WORLD WIDE WEB CODE [W--]

A pox on the Web! It wastes time and bandwidth and just gives the uneducated morons a reason to clutter the Internet.

GEEK USENET CODE [N+]

I read news recreationally when I have some time to kill.

GEEK USENET CODE [N----]

I am a Scientologist.

GEEK USENET ORACLE CODE [o?]

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

GEEK KIBO CODE [K?]

Kibo? I don't even know what that 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: "Windows has set back the computing industry by at least 10 years. Bill Gates should be drawn, quartered, hung, shot, poisoned, disembowelled, and then REALLY hurt."

GEEK OS/2 CODE [O?]

OS/2? I don't even know what that is...

GEEK MACINTOSH CODE [M-]

Macs suck. All real geeks have a character prompt.

GEEK VMS CODE [V?]

VMS? I don't even know what that is...

GEEK POLITICS & ECONOMIC ISSUES CODE [PE++()]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Keep the government off the backs of businesses. Deregulate as much as possible.", to: "Distrust both government and business."

GEEK CYPHERPUNKS CODE [Y++(+)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "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.", to: "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+>+++]

"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+()]

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: "It's just another TV show."

GEEK BABYLON 5 CODE [5?]

Babylon 5? I don't even know what that is...

GEEK X FILES CODE [!X]

I refuse to categorize myself on X Files.

GEEK ROLE-PLAYING CODE [R++(-)>*]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "There is no life outside the role of the die. I know all of the piddly rules of (chosen game). _MY_ own warped rules scare the rest of the players.", to: "Gosh, what an utter waste of time!" But someday I'd like to say: "I thought life WAS role-playing?"

GEEK TELEVISION CODE [tv+]

I watch some tv every day.

GEEK BOOKS CODE [b+++(+)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I consume a few books a week as part of a staple diet.", to: "I enjoy reading, but don't get the time very often."

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 I'm pretty indifferent.

THE GEEK CODE [G]

I know what the geek code is and even did up this code.

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

Finished High School. But someday I'd like to say: "Managed to get my Ph.D. Getting paid for it!"

GEEK EDUCATION CODE [e*]

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

GEEK HOUSING CODE [h]

Friends come over to visit every once in a while to talk about Geek things. There is a place for them to sit.

GEEK HOUSING CODE [h-]

Living with one or more registered Geeks.

GEEK HOUSING CODE [h--]

Living with one or more people who know nothing about being a Geek and refuse to watch Babylon 5.

GEEK HOUSING CODE [h---]

Married, (persons living romantically with someone might as well label themselves h---, you're as good as there already.)

GEEK RELATIONSHIPS CODE [r+++]

Found someone, dated, and am now married.

GEEK SEX CODE [y+++]

Male. I'm married, so I can get it (theoretically) whenever I want.

GEEK SEX CODE [y++++]

Male. I have a few little rug rats to prove I've been there. Besides, with kids around, who has time for sex?
