Decoded Geek Code

GEEK TYPE CODE [GCS/O]

Geek of Computer Science, Geek of Other.

GEEK DRESS CODE [d?]

I have no idea what I am wearing right now, let alone what I wore yesterday.

GEEK SHAPE CODE [s:]

I'm an average geek.

GEEK AGE CODE [a+]

My age is 40-49.

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. Getting paid for it!

GEEK UNIX CODE [UL++++$]

I use GNU/Linux 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. Getting paid for it!

GEEK UNIX CODE [US+++$]

I use SunOS/Solaris 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! 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. Getting paid for it!

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

I use GNU/Linux exclusively on my system. I monitor comp.os.linux.* and even answer questions sometimes. Getting paid for it!

GEEK EMACS CODE [E-]

Emacs is too big and bloated for my tastes

GEEK VMS CODE [V$]

Getting paid for it!

GEEK WORLD WIDE WEB CODE [W++$]

I have a homepage. I surf daily. My homepage is advertised in my .signature. Getting paid for it!

GEEK USENET CODE [N-]

News is a waste of my time and I avoid it completely.

GEEK USENET ORACLE CODE [o--]

Who needs answers from a bunch of geeks anyhow?

GEEK KIBO CODE [K-]

I don't 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. 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 MACINTOSH CODE [M+]

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

GEEK VMS CODE [V++]

Unix is a passing fad compared to the real power in the universe, my VMS system.

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*]

I identify with Barclay, the greatest of the Trek Geeks.

GEEK BABYLON 5 CODE [5]

I've seen it, I am pretty indifferent to it.

GEEK TELEVISION CODE [tv]

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

GEEK BOOKS CODE [b+++]

I consume a few books a week as part of a staple diet.

GEEK DILBERT CODE [DI++]

I work with people that act a lot like Dilbert and his boss.

GEEK DOOM CODE [D---]

To hell with Doom, I miss Zork.

THE GEEK CODE [G]

I know what the geek code is and even did up this code.

GEEK EDUCATION CODE [e++>++++]

Got a Baccalaureate degree. But someday I'd like to say: "Managed to get my Ph.D."

GEEK HOUSING CODE [h---]

Married, (persons living romantically with someone might as well label themselves h---, you're as good as there already.)

GEEK RELATIONSHIPS CODE [r+++]

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?
