Decoded Geek Code

GEEK TYPE CODE [GCS/O]

Geek of Computer Science, Geek of Other.

GEEK DRESS CODE [d-]

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

GEEK SHAPE CODE [s:-]

Everyone tells me to gain a few pounds.

GEEK AGE CODE [a]

My age is 30-39.

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 [UB++]

I use BSD 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.

GEEK PERL CODE [P@]

I know Perl exists, but that's all. But that varies...

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.

GEEK EMACS CODE [E]

Yeah, I know what emacs is, and use it as my regular editor.

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+]

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

GEEK USENET ORACLE CODE [o]

I've submitted a question, but it has never been incarnated.

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'm still trying to install MS Windows and have at least one peripheral that never works right", 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]

I finally managed to get OS/2 installed but wasn't too terribly impressed.

GEEK MACINTOSH CODE [M+>++]

A Mac has it's uses and I use it quite often. But someday I'd like to say: "I am a Mac guru. Anything those DOS putzes and unix nerds can do, I can do better, and if not, I'll write the damn software to do it."

GEEK VMS CODE [V-]

Unix is much better than VMS for my computing needs.

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! But someday I'd like to say: "Capitalism is evil! Government should provide the services we really need. Nobody should be rich."

GEEK CYPHERPUNKS CODE [Y]

I'm pretty indifferent on the whole issue.

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+@]

Babylon 5 certainly presents a fresh perspective in the Sci-Fi universe. I watch it weekly. But that varies...

GEEK X FILES CODE [X]

Ho hum. Just another Fox show.

GEEK ROLE-PLAYING CODE [R>+]

Role-Playing? That's just something to do to kill a Saturday afternoon. But someday I'd like to say: "I've got my weekly sessions set up and a character that I know better than I know myself."

GEEK TELEVISION CODE [tv-(--)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I watch tv for the news and 'special programming.'", to: "I turn my tv on during natural disasters."

GEEK BOOKS CODE [b+>++]

I enjoy reading, but don't get the time very often. But someday I'd like to say: "I find the time to get through at least one new book a month."

GEEK DILBERT CODE [DI]

I read Dilbert infrequently, rarely understanding it.

GEEK DOOM CODE [D(--)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I've played the game and I'm pretty indifferent.", to: "It's an overly-violent game and pure crap."

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: "Got a Masters degree."

GEEK HOUSING CODE [h(+)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Friends come over to visit every once in a while to talk about Geek things. There is a place for them to sit.", to: "Living alone, get out once a week to buy food, no more than once a month to do laundry. All surfaces covered."

GEEK RELATIONSHIPS CODE [r*]

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.
