GEEK TYPE CODE [GCS/E/S]

Geek of Computer Science, Geek of Engineering, Geek of Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, etc.).

GEEK DRESS CODE [d-(+)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I'm usually in jeans and a t-shirt.", to: "Good leisure-wear. Slacks, button-shirt, etc. No jeans, tennis shoes, or t-shirts."

GEEK SHAPE CODE [s:]

I'm an average geek.

GEEK AGE CODE [a--]

My age is 20-24.

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. But someday I'd like to say: "Getting paid for it!"

GEEK UNIX CODE [UL++]

I use GNU/Linux exclusively. 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.

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++(+++)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I use GNU/Linux ALMOST exclusively on my system. I've given up trying to achieve GNU/Linux.God status, but welcome the OS as a replacement for DOS. I only boot to DOS to play games.", to: "I use GNU/Linux exclusively on my system. I monitor comp.os.linux.* and even answer questions sometimes."

GEEK EMACS CODE [E(+)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Yeah, I know what emacs is, and use it as my regular editor.", to: "Emacs is great! I read my mail and news with it!"

GEEK WORLD WIDE WEB CODE [W++(-)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I have a homepage. I surf daily. My homepage is advertised in my .signature.", to: "The web is really a pain. Life was so much easier when you could transfer information by simple ASCII. Now everyone won't even consider your ideas unless you spiff them up with bandwidth-consuming pictures and pointless information links."

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

GEEK KIBO CODE [K]

I know who Kibo 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]

I finally managed to get OS/2 installed but wasn't too terribly impressed.

GEEK MACINTOSH CODE [M(-)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I use a Mac, but I'm pretty indifferent about it.", to: "Macs suck. All real geeks have a character prompt."

GEEK VMS CODE [V?]

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

GEEK POLITICS & SOCIAL ISSUES CODE [PS+(++)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "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.", to: "I give to liberal causes. I march for gay rights. I'm a card carrying member of the ACLU. Keep abortion safe and legal."

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

My tendencies on this issue range from: "It's ok to increase government spending, so we can help more poor people. Tax the rich! Cut the defense budget!", to: "Distrust both government and business."

GEEK CYPHERPUNKS CODE [Y+(++)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I have an interest and concern in privacy issues, but in reality I am not really all that active or vocal.", to: "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+(++)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: ""Finger me for my public key".", to: "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++]

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.

GEEK ROLE-PLAYING CODE [R-]

Gosh, what an utter waste of time!

To hell with Doom, I miss Zork.

THE GEEK CODE [G]

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

GEEK EDUCATION CODE [e+>++]

Got an Associate degree. But someday I'd like to say: "Got a Baccalaureate degree."

Male. It's none of your business what my sex life is like.
