Decoded Geek Code

GEEK TYPE CODE [GCM]

Geek of Computer Management.

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 an average geek.

GEEK AGE CODE [a>+++]

My age is 30-39. But someday I'd like to say: "My age is 60 and up."

GEEK COMPUTERS CODE [C++(+++)$]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "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.", to: "You mean there is life outside of Internet? You're shittin' me! I haven't dragged myself to class in weeks." Getting paid for it!

GEEK UNIX CODE [ULSH++++$]

I use GNU/Linux, SunOS/Solaris and HPUX. 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 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 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 great! I read my mail and news with it!

GEEK WORLD WIDE WEB CODE [W++]

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

GEEK USENET CODE [N++]

I read all the news in a select handful of groups.

GEEK USENET ORACLE CODE [o?]

Usenet Oracle? I don't even know what that is...

GEEK KIBO CODE [K?]

Kibo? I don't even know what that 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?]

OS/2? I don't even know what that is...

GEEK MACINTOSH CODE [M?]

Macintosh? I don't even know what that is...

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 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 someday I'd like to say: "Legalize drugs! Abolish the government. Fuck the draft!"

GEEK POLITICS & ECONOMIC ISSUES CODE [PE--]

Capitalism is evil! Government should provide the services we really need. Nobody should be rich.

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 just another TV show. But that varies...

GEEK BABYLON 5 CODE [5+(++)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Babylon 5 certainly presents a fresh perspective in the Sci-Fi universe. I watch it weekly.", to: "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-@]

It's ok if you like paranoia and conspiracy stories, but, let's face it, it's crap. But that varies...

GEEK ROLE-PLAYING CODE [R+>+++]

I've got my weekly sessions set up and a character that I know better than I know myself. But someday I'd like to say: "I've written and published my own gaming materials."

GEEK TELEVISION CODE [tv--]

I turn my tv on during natural disasters.

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. But that varies...

GEEK DOOM CODE [D?]

Doom? I don't even know what that is...

THE GEEK CODE [G]

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

GEEK EDUCATION CODE [e*>+++]

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 with children - Al Bundy can sympathize.

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?
