Decoded Geek Code

GEEK TYPE CODE [GB/SS/O]

Geek of Business, Geek of Social Science (Psychology, Sociology, etc.), Geek of Other.

GEEK DRESS CODE [d]

I dress a lot like those found in catalog ads. Bland, boring, without life or meaning.

GEEK SHAPE CODE [s:]

I'm an average geek.

GEEK AGE CODE [a++]

My age is 50-59.

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 [UBSH++(+++)$>++++]

I use BSD, SunOS/Solaris and HPUX. My tendencies on this issue range from: "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.", to: "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 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. Getting paid for it!

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-]

I refuse to categorize myself on Emacs. But if I did participate in this category, I would characterize myself as follows: "Emacs is too big and bloated for my tastes"

GEEK WORLD WIDE WEB CODE [W++]

I have a homepage. I surf daily. My homepage is advertised in my .signature.

GEEK USENET CODE [N]

Usenet News? Sure, I read that once.

GEEK USENET ORACLE CODE [o]

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

GEEK KIBO CODE [!K]

I refuse to categorize myself on Kibo.

GEEK MICROSOFT WINDOWS CODE [w$]

Getting paid for it!

GEEK OS/2 CODE [!O]

I refuse to categorize myself on OS/2.

GEEK MACINTOSH CODE [!M-]

I refuse to categorize myself on Macintosh. But if I did participate in this category, I would characterize myself as follows: "Macs suck. All real geeks have a character prompt."

GEEK VMS CODE [V]

I've used 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.

GEEK POLITICS & ECONOMIC ISSUES CODE [PE]

Distrust both government and business.

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]

It's just another TV show.

GEEK BABYLON 5 CODE [5]

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

GEEK X FILES CODE [X]

Ho hum. Just another Fox show.

GEEK ROLE-PLAYING CODE [R*]

I thought life WAS role-playing?

I watch some tv every day.

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