GEEK SHAPE CODE [s:]

I'm an average geek.

GEEK AGE CODE [a10(38)>?]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I am 10 years old.", to: "I am 38 years old." But someday I'd like to say: "I am immortal."

GEEK DRESS CODE [dpu(---)>!]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I wear the same clothes all the time, no matter the occasion, forgetting to do laundry between wearings.", to: "Punk dresser, including, but not limited to, torn jeans and shirts, body piercings, and prominent tattoos." But someday I'd like to say: "No clothing. Quite a fashion statement, don't you think?"

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. Getting paid for it!

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.

GEEK EMACS CODE [E]

Yeah, I know what emacs is, and use it as my regular editor.

GEEK WORLD WIDE WEB CODE [W++]

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

GEEK USENET CODE [N+]

I read news recreationally when I have some time to kill.

GEEK UNIX CODE [UBAXL--->++++>---------]

I use BSD, AIX, NeXT and GNU/Linux. Unix geeks are actually nerds in disguise. 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." But someday I'd like to say: "Unix geeks are actually nerds in disguise. Unix geeks are actually nerds in disguise. Unix geeks are actually nerds in disguise."

GEEK MICROSOFT WINDOWS CODE [w++]

I write MS Windows programs in C and think about using C++ someday. I've written at least one DLL.

GEEK MACINTOSH CODE [M+]

A Mac has it's uses and I use it quite often.

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 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.

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

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Keep the government off the backs of businesses. Deregulate as much as possible.", to: "Capitalism is evil! Government should provide the services we really need. Nobody should be rich."

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. But that varies...

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. But that varies...

GEEK BABYLON 5 CODE [5--@]

You call this Sci-Fi? That is such a load of crap! This show is just a soap with bad actors, piss-poor effects, and lame storylines. Puh-leese. But that varies...

GEEK ROLE-PLAYING CODE [R++>-@]

There is no life outside the role of the die. I know all of the piddly rules of (chosen game). _MY_ own warped rules scare the rest of the players. But someday I'd like to say: "Gosh, what an utter waste of time! But that varies..."

GEEK TELEVISION CODE [tv]

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

GEEK BOOKS CODE [b-]

I read when there is no other way to get the information.

GEEK DILBERT CODE [DI++]

I work with people that act a lot like Dilbert and his boss.

GEEK DOOM CODE [D+]

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

THE GEEK CODE [G-]

What a tremendous waste of time this Geek Code is.

GEEK EDUCATION CODE [e*]

I learned everything there is to know about life from the "Hitchhiker's Trilogy".

GEEK HOUSING CODE [h*]

I'm not sure where I live anymore. This lab/workplace seems like home to me.

GEEK RELATIONSHIPS CODE [r-?%]

I have difficulty maintaining a relationship. Relationships? I don't even know what that is... I was going out with someone, but the asshole dumped me.

GEEK SEX CODE [y?@@]

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