Decoded Geek Code

GEEK TYPE CODE [GO]

Geek of Other.

GEEK DRESS CODE [d-(--)@]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I'm usually in jeans and a t-shirt.", to: "My t-shirts go a step further and have a trendy political message on them." But that varies...

GEEK SHAPE CODE [s+:@]

I'm a little taller than most. But that varies...

GEEK AGE CODE [a?@>!]

I am immortal. But that varies... But someday I'd like to say: "It's none of your business how old I am."

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 that varies... Getting paid for it!

GEEK UNIX CODE [ULBS++(++++)]

I use GNU/Linux, BSD and SunOS/Solaris. My tendencies on this issue range from: "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.", to: "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 very powerful programming tool. Not only do I no longer write shell scripts, I also no longer use awk or sed. I use Perl for all programs of less than a thousand lines. But someday I'd like to say: "I am Larry Wall, Tom Christiansen, or Randal Schwartz."

GEEK GNU/LINUX CODE [L+++>++++]

I use GNU/Linux exclusively on my system. I monitor comp.os.linux.* and even answer questions sometimes. But someday I'd like to say: "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>+++]

Yeah, I know what emacs is, and use it as my regular editor. But someday I'd like to say: "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++@]

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

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 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 USENET ORACLE CODE [o--]

Who needs answers from a bunch of geeks anyhow?

GEEK KIBO CODE [K?]

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

GEEK MICROSOFT WINDOWS CODE [w---(++)>?]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "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.", to: "I write MS Windows programs in C and think about using C++ someday. I've written at least one DLL." But someday I'd like to say: "MicroSoft Windows? I don't even know what that is..."

GEEK OS/2 CODE [!O]

I refuse to categorize myself on OS/2.

GEEK MACINTOSH CODE [!M(--)]

I refuse to categorize myself on Macintosh. But if I did participate in this category, I would characterize myself as follows: "My tendencies on this issue range from: "I use a Mac, but I'm pretty indifferent about it.", to: "Macs do more than suck. They make a user stupid by allowing them to use the system without knowing what they are doing. Mac weenies have lower IQs than the fuzz in my navel.""

GEEK VMS CODE [!V@]

I refuse to categorize myself on VMS. But that varies...

GEEK POLITICS & SOCIAL ISSUES CODE [PS---]

Repent left-wing sinners and change your wicked evil ways. Buchanan/Robertson in '96.

GEEK POLITICS & ECONOMIC ISSUES CODE [PE]

Distrust both government and business.

GEEK CYPHERPUNKS CODE [Y]

I'm pretty indifferent on the whole issue.

GEEK PGP CODE [PGP-]

I don't have anything to hide.

GEEK STAR TREK CODE [t-]

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]

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*()>+++]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I thought life WAS role- playing?", to: "Role-Playing? That's just something to do to kill a Saturday afternoon." But someday I'd like to say: "I've written and published my own gaming materials."

GEEK TELEVISION CODE [!tv]

I do not own a television.

GEEK BOOKS CODE [b+++@]

I consume a few books a week as part of a staple diet. But that varies...

GEEK DILBERT CODE [DI-]

Is that the comic about the engineers?

GEEK DOOM CODE [D(+)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I've played the game and I'm pretty indifferent.", to: "It's a fun, action game that is a nice diversion on a lazy afternoon."

THE GEEK CODE [G(--)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I know what the geek code is and even did up this code.", to: "Not only a waste of time, but it obviously shows that this Hayden guy needs a life."

GEEK EDUCATION CODE [e+++]

Got a Masters degree.

GEEK HOUSING CODE [h+@>++(*)]

Living alone, get out once a week to buy food, no more than once a month to do laundry. All surfaces covered. But that varies... But someday I'd like to say: "My tendencies on this issue range from: "Living in a cave with 47 computers and an Internet feed, located near a Dominoes pizza. See !d.", to: "I'm not sure where I live anymore. This lab/workplace seems like home to me.""

GEEK RELATIONSHIPS CODE [r?@]

Relationships? I don't even know what that is... But that varies...

GEEK SEX CODE [y(++++)>?]

Male. My tendencies on this issue range from: "I've had sex. Oh! You mean with someone else? Then no.", to: "I have a few little rug rats to prove I've been there. Besides, with kids around, who has time for sex?" But someday I'd like to say: "It's none of your business what my sex life is like."
