Decoded Geek Code

GEEK TYPE CODE [GCS/IT$]

Geek of Computer Science, Geek of Information Technology Getting paid for it!.

GEEK DRESS CODE [d+]

Good leisure-wear. Slacks, button-shirt, etc. No jeans, tennis shoes, or t-shirts.

GEEK SHAPE CODE [s:+]

I'm a little rounder than most.

GEEK AGE CODE [a+]

My age is 40-49.

GEEK COMPUTERS CODE [C++++$]

I'll be first in line to get the new cybernetic interface installed into my skull. Getting paid for it!

GEEK UNIX CODE [UL++$]

I use GNU/Linux exclusively. I've get the entire admin ticked off at me because I am always using all of the CPU time and trying to run programs that I don't have access to. I'm going to try cracking /etc/passwd next week, just don't tell anyone. Getting paid for it!

GEEK PERL CODE [P++]

Perl is a powerful programming tool. I don't write shell scripts anymore because I write them in Perl.

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.

GEEK EMACS CODE [E-]

Emacs is too big and bloated for my tastes

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 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. Getting paid for it!", to: "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 refuse to categorize myself on VMS.

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+(-)]

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: "It seems to me that all of these concerns are a little extreme. I mean, the government must be able to protect itself from criminals and the populace from indecent speech. "

GEEK PGP CODE [PGP]

I've used it, but stopped long ago.

GEEK STAR TREK CODE [t+]

It's a damn fine TV show and is one of the only things good on television any more.

GEEK BABYLON 5 CODE [5++]

Finally a show that shows what a real future would look like. None of this Picardian "Let's talk about it and be friends" crap. And what's this? We finally get to see a bathroom! Over on that Enterprise, they've been holding it for over seven years!

GEEK X FILES CODE [X]

Ho hum. Just another Fox show.

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: "I thought life WAS role-playing?"

I watch some tv every day.

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

GEEK DOOM CODE [D++]

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

GEEK EDUCATION CODE [e++(*)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Got a Baccalaureate degree.", to: "I learned everything there is to know about life from the "Hitchhiker's Trilogy"."

GEEK HOUSING CODE [h----]

Married with children - Al Bundy can sympathize.

Found someone, dated, and am now married.

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?
