Decoded Geek Code

GEEK TYPE CODE [GCS/M/S]

Geek of Computer Science, Geek of Math, 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 a little taller than most. Everyone tells me to gain a few pounds.

GEEK AGE CODE [a29]

I am 29 years old.

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.

GEEK UNIX CODE [U++>++++]

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. But someday I'd like to say: "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."

GEEK PERL CODE [P++]

Perl is a powerful programming tool. I don't write shell scripts anymore because I write them in Perl.

I know what GNU/Linux is, but that's about all.

GEEK EMACS CODE [E-]

Emacs is too big and bloated for my tastes

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

GEEK USENET CODE [N+++]

I read so many news groups that the next batch of news comes in before I finish reading the last batch, and I have to read for about 2 hours straight before I'm caught up on the morning's news. Then there's the afternoon...

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. But someday I'd like to say: "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. I'm still trying to install MS Windows and have at least one peripheral that never works right"

GEEK OS/2 CODE [!O]

I refuse to categorize myself on OS/2.

GEEK MACINTOSH CODE [M++$]

I am a Mac guru. Anything those DOS putzes and unix nerds can do, I can do better, and if not, I'll write the damn software to do it. Getting paid for it!

GEEK VMS CODE [V]

I've used VMS.

GEEK POLITICS & SOCIAL ISSUES CODE [PS]

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

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 have the most recent version and use it regularly.

GEEK STAR TREK CODE [t+(-)*]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "It's a damn fine TV show and is one of the only things good on television any more.", to: "Maybe it is just me, but I have no idea what the big deal with Star Trek is. Perhaps I'm missing something but I just think it is bad drama."

GEEK BABYLON 5 CODE [5?]

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

GEEK X FILES CODE [X-]

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

Role-Playing? I don't even know what that is...

GEEK TELEVISION CODE [tv-]

I watch tv for the news and 'special programming.'

GEEK BOOKS CODE [b+++>++++]

I consume a few books a week as part of a staple diet. But someday I'd like to say: "I read a book a day. I have library cards in three states. I have discount cards from every major bookstore. I've ordered books from another country to get my Favorite Author Fix."

GEEK DILBERT CODE [DI++++]

I've received mail from Scott Adams. I'm in the DNRC (Dogbert's New Ruling Class).

It's a fun, action game that is a nice diversion on a lazy afternoon.
