Decoded Geek Code

GEEK TYPE CODE [GCS/E/O]

Geek of Computer Science, Geek of Engineering, Geek of Other.

GEEK DRESS CODE [d?>+]

I have no idea what I am wearing right now, let alone what I wore yesterday. But someday I'd like to say: "Good leisure-wear. Slacks, button-shirt, etc. No jeans, tennis shoes, or t-shirts."

GEEK SHAPE CODE [s+:-]

I'm a little taller than most. Everyone tells me to gain a few pounds.

GEEK AGE CODE [a--]

My age is 20-24.

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: "Computers are a tool, nothing more. I use it when it serves my purpose." Getting paid for it!

GEEK UNIX CODE [UBL*++++@]

I use BSD, GNU/Linux and some other(s) not listed. 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. But that varies...

GEEK PERL CODE [P++++]

I don't write Perl, I speak it. Perl has superseded all other programming languages. I firmly believe that all programs can be reduced to a Perl one-liner. I use Perl to achieve U+++ status.

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.

GEEK EMACS CODE [E---]

Emacs sucks! vi forever!!!

GEEK WORLD WIDE WEB CODE [W++]

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

GEEK USENET CODE [N++(+)]

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

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--]

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]

I refuse to categorize myself on OS/2.

GEEK MACINTOSH CODE [!M]

I refuse to categorize myself on Macintosh.

GEEK VMS CODE [V-]

Unix is much better than VMS for my computing needs.

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++]

Keep the government off the backs of businesses. Deregulate as much as possible.

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 a damn fine TV show and is one of the only things good on television any more.

GEEK BABYLON 5 CODE [5]

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

GEEK X FILES CODE [X-]

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

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+>++]

I enjoy reading, but don't get the time very often. But someday I'd like to say: "I find the time to get through at least one new book a month."

GEEK DILBERT CODE [DI++]

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

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

GEEK HOUSING CODE [h(--)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Friends come over to visit every once in a while to talk about Geek things. There is a place for them to sit.", to: "Living with one or more people who know nothing about being a Geek and refuse to watch Babylon 5."

GEEK RELATIONSHIPS CODE [r]

I date periodically.

GEEK SEX CODE [y]

Male. I've had sex. Oh! You mean with someone else? Then no.
