Decoded Geek Code

GEEK TYPE CODE [GS/CS/M/P/SS/TW]

Geek of Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, etc.), Geek of Computer Science, Geek of Math, Geek of Philosophy, Geek of Social Science (Psychology, Sociology, etc.), Geek of Technical Writing.

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 basketball candidate. I'm a linebacker candidate.

GEEK AGE CODE [a?]

I am immortal.

GEEK COMPUTERS CODE [C++]

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.

GEEK UNIX CODE [UBLAVHIOS++++]

I use BSD, GNU/Linux, AIX, SysV, HPUX, IRIX , OSF/1 (aka Digital Unix) and SunOS/Solaris. 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-(---)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "What's Perl got that awk and sed don't have?", to: "Perl combines the power of sh, the clarity of sed, and the performance of awk with the simplicity of C. It should be banned."

GEEK GNU/LINUX CODE [L++++]

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.

GEEK EMACS CODE [E++]

I know and use elisp regularly!

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 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 am an active Priest

GEEK KIBO CODE [K]

I know who Kibo is.

GEEK MICROSOFT WINDOWS CODE [w---]

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 refuse to categorize myself on OS/2.

GEEK MACINTOSH CODE [M]

I use a Mac, but I'm pretty indifferent about it.

GEEK VMS CODE [V-]

Unix is much better than VMS for my computing needs.

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

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.

GEEK STAR TREK CODE [t--]

Star Trek is just another Space Opera. William Shatner isn't an actor, he's a poser! And what's with this Jean-Luc Picard? A Frenchman with a British accent? Come on. I'd only watch this show if my remote control broke. Isn't Voyager just a rehash of Lost in Space? Has Sisko even breathed in the last two seasons?

GEEK BABYLON 5 CODE [5-]

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--]

If I wanted to watch this kind of stuff, I'd talk to Oliver Stone

GEEK ROLE-PLAYING CODE [R*]

I thought life WAS role-playing?

GEEK TELEVISION CODE [tv]

I watch only the shows that are actually worthwhile, such as those found on PBS.

GEEK BOOKS CODE [b++++]

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

GEEK EDUCATION CODE [e+++++]

I am Stephen Hawking.

GEEK HOUSING CODE [h*]

I'm not sure where I live anymore. This lab/workplace seems like home to me.

GEEK RELATIONSHIPS CODE [r]

I date periodically.

GEEK SEX CODE [y++]

Male. I was once referred to as 'easy'. I have no idea where that might have come from though.
