Decoded Geek Code

GEEK TYPE CODE [GPA]

Geek of Performing Arts.

GEEK DRESS CODE [d--]

My t-shirts go a step further and have a trendy political message on them.

GEEK SHAPE CODE [s+:]

I'm a little taller than most.

GEEK AGE CODE [a]

My age is 30-39.

GEEK COMPUTERS CODE [C+++]

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 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+>+++]

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: "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 use GNU/Linux exclusively on my system. I monitor comp.os.linux.* and even answer questions sometimes.

GEEK EMACS CODE [E---]

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+]

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

GEEK USENET ORACLE CODE [o+]

I have been incarnated at least once.

GEEK KIBO CODE [K+++]

I've gotten mail from Kibo.

GEEK MICROSOFT WINDOWS CODE [w--]

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----]

I am Bill Gates of Borg. OS/2 is irrelevant.

GEEK MACINTOSH CODE [M+]

A Mac has it's uses and I use it quite often.

GEEK VMS CODE [V--]

I would rather smash my head repeatedly into a brick wall than suffer the agony of working with VMS. It's reminiscent of a dead and decaying pile of moose droppings. Unix rules the universe.

GEEK POLITICS & SOCIAL ISSUES CODE [PS++(+++)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I give to liberal causes. I march for gay rights. I'm a card carrying member of the ACLU. Keep abortion safe and legal.", to: "Legalize drugs! Abolish the government. Fuck the draft!"

GEEK POLITICS & ECONOMIC ISSUES CODE [PE]

Distrust both government and business.

GEEK CYPHERPUNKS CODE [Y++]

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.

GEEK PGP CODE [PGP++>+++]

I have the most recent version and use it regularly. 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++@$]

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. But that varies... Getting paid for it!

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+]

I've Converted my family and watch the show when I remember. It's really kinda fun.

GEEK ROLE-PLAYING CODE [R+]

I've got my weekly sessions set up and a character that I know better than I know myself.

GEEK TELEVISION CODE [tv-]

I watch tv for the news and 'special programming.'

GEEK BOOKS CODE [b++]

I find the time to get through at least one new book a month.

GEEK DILBERT CODE [DI+]

I read Dilbert daily, often understanding it.

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 know what each letter means, but sometimes have to look up the specifics.

GEEK EDUCATION CODE [e]

Finished High School.

GEEK HOUSING CODE [h----]

Married with children - Al Bundy can sympathize.

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.
