Decoded Geek Code

GEEK TYPE CODE [GCS]

Geek of Computer Science.

GEEK DRESS CODE [d-]

I'm usually in jeans and a t-shirt.

GEEK SHAPE CODE [s+:+]

I'm a little taller than most. I'm a little rounder than most.

GEEK AGE CODE [a+]

My age is 40-49.

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: "I'll be first in line to get the new cybernetic interface installed into my skull."

GEEK UNIX CODE [UX++++]

I use NeXT 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.

GEEK PERL CODE [P++(---)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Perl is a powerful programming tool. I don't write shell scripts anymore because I write them in Perl.", to: "Perl combines the power of sh, the clarity of sed, and the performance of awk with the simplicity of C. It should be banned."

GEEK GNU/LINUX CODE [L-]

I have no desire to use GNU/Linux and frankly don't give a rats patootie about it. There are other, better, operating systems out there. Like Mac, DOS, or Amiga-OS. Or, better yet even, would be another free Unix OS like FreeBSD.

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 my login shell!! M-x doctor is my psychologist! I use emacs to control my TV and toaster oven! All you vi people don't know what you're missing! I read alt.relgion.emacs, alt.sex.emacs, and comp.os.emacs."

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: "A pox on the Web! It wastes time and bandwidth and just gives the uneducated morons a reason to clutter the Internet."

GEEK USENET CODE [N-]

News is a waste of my time and I avoid it completely.

GEEK USENET ORACLE CODE [o+]

I have been incarnated at least once.

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 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.

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 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]

Distrust both government and business.

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.

GEEK BABYLON 5 CODE [5]

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

GEEK X FILES CODE [!X]

I refuse to categorize myself on X Files.

GEEK ROLE-PLAYING CODE [R(+)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Role-Playing? That's just something to do to kill a Saturday afternoon.", to: "I've got my weekly sessions set up and a character that I know better than I know myself."

GEEK TELEVISION CODE [tv]

I watch only the shows that are actually worthwhile, such as those found on PBS.

GEEK BOOKS CODE [b+]

I enjoy reading, but don't get the time very often.

GEEK DILBERT CODE [DI+(+++)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I read Dilbert daily, often understanding it.", to: "I am a Dilbert prototype."

GEEK DOOM CODE [!D]

I refuse to categorize myself on Doom.

THE GEEK CODE [G]

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

GEEK EDUCATION CODE [e+++]

Got a Masters degree.

GEEK HOUSING CODE [h-]

Living with one or more registered Geeks.

GEEK RELATIONSHIPS CODE [r++]

I've dated my current S.O. for a long time.

GEEK SEX CODE [y+++(*)]

Male. My tendencies on this issue range from: "I'm married, so I can get it (theoretically) whenever I want.", to: "I'm a pervert."
