Decoded Geek Code

GEEK TYPE CODE [GS]

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 30-39.

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.

GEEK UNIX CODE [UX++++V++S++]

I use NeXT, SysV and SunOS/Solaris. 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+>+++]

I know of perl. I like perl. I just haven't learned much perl, but it is on my agenda. But someday I'd like to say: "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."

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

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

GEEK EMACS CODE [E+>++]

Emacs is great! I read my mail and news with it! But someday I'd like to say: "I know and use elisp regularly!"

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 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?]

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]

Ok, so I use MS Windows, I don't have to like it.

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--]

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]

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

GEEK POLITICS & ECONOMIC ISSUES CODE [PE+]

Balance the budget with spending cuts and an amendment.

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++]

It's the best show around. I have all the episodes and the movies on tape and can quote entire scenes verbatim. I've built a few of the model kits too. But you'll never catch me at one of those conventions. Those people are kooks.

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++]

This is one of the better shows I've seen. I wish I'd taped everything from the start at SP, because I'm wearing out my EP tapes. I'll periodically debate online. I've Converted at least 5 people. I've gotten a YAXA.

GEEK ROLE-PLAYING CODE [R+]

I've got my weekly sessions set up and a character that I know better than I know myself.

GEEK TELEVISION CODE [tv++]

I just leave the tv on, to make sure I don't miss anything.

GEEK BOOKS CODE [b++(+++)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I find the time to get through at least one new book a month.", to: "I consume a few books a week as part of a staple diet."

GEEK DILBERT CODE [DI++++]

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

GEEK DOOM CODE [D+]

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

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+]

Living alone, get out once a week to buy food, no more than once a month to do laundry. All surfaces covered.

GEEK RELATIONSHIPS CODE [r*]

signifying membership in the SBCA (Sour Bachelor(ette)'s Club of America). The motto is 'Bitter, but not Desperate'. First founded at Caltech.

GEEK SEX CODE [y?]

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