Decoded Geek Code

GEEK TYPE CODE [GCS/CM/CC/IT]

Geek of Computer Science, Geek of Computer Management, Geek of Communications, Geek of Information Technology.

GEEK DRESS CODE [d+(-)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Good leisure-wear. Slacks, button-shirt, etc. No jeans, tennis shoes, or t-shirts.", to: "I'm usually in jeans and a t-shirt."

GEEK SHAPE CODE [s+:-]

I'm a little taller than most. Everyone tells me to gain a few pounds.

GEEK AGE CODE [a-]

My age is 25-29.

GEEK COMPUTERS CODE [C+++(++)$]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "You mean there is life outside of Internet? You're shittin' me! I haven't dragged myself to class in weeks.", to: "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 UNIX CODE [ULC++++(+++)$]

I use GNU/Linux and SCO Unix. My tendencies on this issue range from: "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.", to: "I don't need to crack /etc/passwd because I just modified su so that it doesn't prompt me. The admin staff doesn't even know I'm here. If you don't understand what I just said, this category does NOT apply to you!" Getting paid for it!

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

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I know of perl. I like perl. I just haven't learned much perl, but it is on my agenda.", 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." But someday I'd like to say: "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 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. Getting paid for it!

GEEK EMACS CODE [!E---]

I refuse to categorize myself on Emacs. But if I did participate in this category, I would characterize myself as follows: "Emacs sucks! vi forever!!!"

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.

GEEK USENET CODE [N+]

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

GEEK USENET ORACLE CODE [!o]

I refuse to categorize myself on Usenet Oracle.

GEEK KIBO CODE [K--?]

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

GEEK MICROSOFT WINDOWS CODE [w--]

MS Windows is a joke operating system. Hell, it's not even an operating system. NT is Not Tough enough for me either. 95 is how may times it will crash an hour.

GEEK OS/2 CODE [O-]

Tried it, didn't like it.

GEEK MACINTOSH CODE [M--]

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 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]

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+]

"Finger me for my public key".

GEEK STAR TREK CODE [t]

It's just another TV show.

GEEK BABYLON 5 CODE [5-]

This show is sub-par. The acting is wooden, the special effects are obviously poor quality. In general, it seems like a very cheap Star Trek ripoff.

GEEK X FILES CODE [X+]

I've Converted my family and watch the show when I remember. It's really kinda fun.

GEEK ROLE-PLAYING CODE [R-]

Gosh, what an utter waste of time!

GEEK TELEVISION CODE [tv+]

I watch some tv every day.

GEEK BOOKS CODE [b]

I read the newspaper and the occasional book.

GEEK DILBERT CODE [DI+++]

I am a Dilbert prototype.

GEEK DOOM CODE [D]

I've played the game and I'm pretty indifferent.

THE GEEK CODE [G]

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

GEEK EDUCATION CODE [e]

Finished High School.

GEEK HOUSING CODE [h----]

Married with children - Al Bundy can sympathize.

GEEK RELATIONSHIPS CODE [r+++]

Found someone, dated, and am now married.

GEEK SEX CODE [y++++]

Male. I have a few little rug rats to prove I've been there. Besides, with kids around, who has time for sex?
