Decoded Geek Code

GEEK TYPE CODE [GCM/CS/IT/P/O>AT]

Geek of Computer Management, Geek of Computer Science, Geek of Information Technology, Geek of Philosophy, Geek of Other. But someday I'd like to say: "Geek of All Trades."

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."

GEEK SHAPE CODE [s:@]

I'm an average geek. But that varies...

GEEK AGE CODE [a-->?]

My age is 20-24. But someday I'd like to say: "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: "I'll be first in line to get the new cybernetic interface installed into my skull." But someday I'd like to say: "Getting paid for it!"

GEEK UNIX CODE [UB++++]

I use BSD exclusively. 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++++]

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 Perl has superseded all other programming languages.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 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-(---)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Emacs is too big and bloated for my tastes", to: "Emacs sucks! vi 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++(+++)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I read all the news in a select handful of groups.", to: "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..."

GEEK USENET ORACLE CODE [!o@]

I refuse to categorize myself on Usenet Oracle. But that varies...

GEEK KIBO CODE [K]

I know who Kibo is.

GEEK MICROSOFT WINDOWS CODE [w++()]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I write MS Windows programs in C and think about using C++ someday. I've written at least one DLL.", to: "Ok, so I use MS Windows, I don't have to like it."

GEEK OS/2 CODE [!O]

I refuse to categorize myself on OS/2.

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." But that varies...

GEEK VMS CODE [V]

I've used VMS.

GEEK POLITICS & SOCIAL ISSUES CODE [PS]

I really don't have an opinion; nobody's messing with my freedoms right now.

GEEK POLITICS & ECONOMIC ISSUES CODE [!PE]

I refuse to categorize myself on Politics & Economic Issues.

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]

I've used it, but stopped long ago.

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 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(-)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I've seen it, I am pretty indifferent to it.", to: "This show is sub-par. The acting is wooden, the special effects are obviously poor quality. In general, it seems like a very cheap Star Trek ripoff."

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: "This is one of the better shows I've seen. I wish I'd taped everything from the start at SP, because I'm wearing out my EP tapes. I'll periodically debate online. I've Converted at least 5 people. I've gotten a YAXA."

GEEK ROLE-PLAYING CODE [R*]

I thought life WAS role-playing?

GEEK TELEVISION CODE [tv(+)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I watch only the shows that are actually worthwhile, such as those found on PBS.", to: "I watch some tv every day."

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

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I find the time to get through at least one new book a month.", to: "I read a book a day. I have library cards in three states. I have discount cards from every major bookstore. I've ordered books from another country to get my Favorite Author Fix."

GEEK DILBERT CODE [DI++++]

I've received mail from Scott Adams. I'm in the DNRC (Dogbert's New Ruling Class).

GEEK DOOM CODE [D++(---)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "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.", to: "To hell with Doom, I miss Zork."

THE GEEK CODE [G++@]

I know what each letter means, but sometimes have to look up the specifics. But that varies...

GEEK EDUCATION CODE [e*]

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

GEEK HOUSING CODE [h!(++)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I am stuck living with my parents!", to: "Living in a cave with 47 computers and an Internet feed, located near a Dominoes pizza. See !d."

GEEK RELATIONSHIPS CODE [r--(*)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "People just aren't interested in dating me.", to: "signifying membership in the SBCA (Sour Bachelor(ette)'s Club of America). The motto is 'Bitter, but not Desperate'. First founded at Caltech."

GEEK SEX CODE [y+]

Male. I've had real, live sex.
