Decoded Geek Code

GEEK TYPE CODE [GCS/E/IT]

Geek of Computer Science, Geek of Engineering, Geek of Information Technology.

GEEK DRESS CODE [d--@]

My t-shirts go a step further and have a trendy political message on them. But that varies...

GEEK SHAPE CODE [s:]

I'm an average geek.

GEEK AGE CODE [a-]

My age is 25-29.

GEEK COMPUTERS CODE [C+++>++++]

You mean there is life outside of Internet? You're shittin' me! I haven't dragged myself to class in weeks. But someday I'd like to say: "I'll be first in line to get the new cybernetic interface installed into my skull."

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 PERL CODE [P+]

I know of perl. I like perl. I just haven't learned much perl, but it is on my agenda.

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. Getting paid for it!

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. Getting paid for it!

GEEK USENET CODE [N+(++)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I read news recreationally when I have some time to kill.", to: "I read all the news in a select handful of groups."

GEEK USENET ORACLE CODE [o+]

I have been incarnated at least once.

GEEK KIBO CODE [K?]

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

GEEK MICROSOFT WINDOWS CODE [w--]

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 OS/2 CODE [O?]

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

GEEK MACINTOSH CODE [M-]

Macs suck. All real geeks have a character prompt.

GEEK VMS CODE [V-]

Unix is much better than VMS for my computing needs.

GEEK POLITICS & SOCIAL ISSUES CODE [PS]

I really don't have an opinion; nobody's messing with my freedoms right now.

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. But someday I'd like to say: "I don't send or answer mail that is not encrypted, or at the very least signed. If you are reading this without decrypting it first, something is wrong. IT DIDN'T COME FROM ME!"

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?]

Babylon 5? I don't even know what that is...

GEEK X FILES CODE [X++]

This is one of the better shows I've seen. I wish I'd taped everything from the start at SP, because I'm wearing out my EP tapes. I'll periodically debate online. I've Converted at least 5 people. I've gotten a YAXA.

GEEK ROLE-PLAYING CODE [R]

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

GEEK TELEVISION CODE [tv(+)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I watch only the shows that are actually worthwhile, such as those found on PBS.", to: "I watch some tv every day."

GEEK BOOKS CODE [b+(++)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I enjoy reading, but don't get the time very often.", to: "I find the time to get through at least one new book a month."

GEEK DILBERT CODE [DI--]

Don't read it, but I think the dog is kinda cute.

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++]

Got a Baccalaureate degree.

GEEK HOUSING CODE [h>++]

Friends come over to visit every once in a while to talk about Geek things. There is a place for them to sit. But someday I'd like to say: "Living in a cave with 47 computers and an Internet feed, located near a Dominoes pizza. See !d."

GEEK RELATIONSHIPS CODE [r-]

I have difficulty maintaining a relationship.

GEEK SEX CODE [y-]

Male. Not having sex by choice.
