Decoded Geek Code

GEEK TYPE CODE [GMU/CS/O]

Geek of Music, Geek of Computer Science, Geek of Other.

GEEK DRESS CODE [d(-)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I dress a lot like those found in catalog ads. Bland, boring, without life or meaning.", to: "I'm usually in jeans and a t-shirt."

GEEK SHAPE CODE [s+:]

I'm a little taller than most.

GEEK AGE CODE [a-]

My age is 25-29.

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 [U+>++++]

I not only have a unix account, but I slam VMS any chance I get. But someday I'd like to say: "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++]

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've managed to get GNU/Linux installed and even used it a few times. It seems like it is just another OS. But that varies...

GEEK EMACS CODE [E----]

Emacs sucks! pico 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. Getting paid for it!

GEEK USENET CODE [N+]

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

GEEK MICROSOFT WINDOWS CODE [w@$]

But that varies... Getting paid for it!

GEEK OS/2 CODE [!O]

I refuse to categorize myself on OS/2.

GEEK MACINTOSH CODE [M+(++)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "A Mac has it's uses and I use it quite often.", to: "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]

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. But that varies...

GEEK POLITICS & ECONOMIC ISSUES CODE [PE(+)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Distrust both government and business.", to: "Balance the budget with spending cuts and an amendment."

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 don't have anything to hide. But someday I'd like to say: "I have the most recent version and use it regularly."

GEEK STAR TREK CODE [t+*]

It's a damn fine TV show and is one of the only things good on television any more. I identify with Barclay, the greatest of the Trek Geeks.

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. But that varies...

GEEK ROLE-PLAYING CODE [R]

Role-Playing? That's just something to do to kill a Saturday afternoon.

GEEK TELEVISION CODE [tv+@]

I watch some tv every day. But that varies...

GEEK BOOKS CODE [b+++]

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

GEEK DILBERT CODE [DI++++]

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

GEEK DOOM CODE [D+(---)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "It's a fun, action game that is a nice diversion on a lazy afternoon.", to: "To hell with Doom, I miss Zork."

THE GEEK CODE [G++]

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

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

Got a Baccalaureate degree. I learned everything there is to know about life from the "Hitchhiker's Trilogy". But someday I'd like to say: "Got a Masters degree."

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 [x+++]

Female. I'm married, so I can get it (theoretically) whenever I want.
