Decoded Geek Code

GEEK TYPE CODE [GCS/G/P/IT]

Geek of Computer Science, Geek of Government, Geek of Philosophy, Geek of Information Technology.

GEEK DRESS CODE [d-]

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

GEEK SHAPE CODE [s++:-]

I'm a basketball candidate. Everyone tells me to gain a few pounds.

GEEK AGE CODE [a-]

My age is 25-29.

GEEK COMPUTERS CODE [C++++]

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

GEEK UNIX CODE [UL++++$]

I use GNU/Linux 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. 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. Getting paid for it!

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 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---]

Emacs sucks! vi forever!!!

GEEK WORLD WIDE WEB CODE [W+++(-)$]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "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.", to: "The web is really a pain. Life was so much easier when you could transfer information by simple ASCII. Now everyone won't even consider your ideas unless you spiff them up with bandwidth-consuming pictures and pointless information links." Getting paid for it!

GEEK USENET CODE [N+]

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

GEEK USENET ORACLE CODE [o]

I've submitted a question, but it has never been incarnated.

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. Getting paid for it!

GEEK OS/2 CODE [!O]

I refuse to categorize myself on OS/2.

GEEK MACINTOSH CODE [M+@]

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

GEEK VMS CODE [V-]

Unix is much better than VMS for my computing needs.

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: "Legalize drugs! Abolish the government. Fuck the draft!"

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

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Distrust both government and business.", to: "Keep the government off the backs of businesses. Deregulate as much as possible."

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've used it, but stopped long ago. But someday I'd like to say: "I have the most recent version and use it regularly."

GEEK STAR TREK CODE [t+@]

It's a damn fine TV show and is one of the only things good on television any more. But that varies...

GEEK BABYLON 5 CODE [5]

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

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>++]

Role-Playing? That's just something to do to kill a Saturday afternoon. But someday I'd like to say: "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."

GEEK TELEVISION CODE [tv+@]

I watch some tv every day. But that varies...

GEEK BOOKS CODE [b++>++++]

I find the time to get through at least one new book a month. But someday I'd like to say: "I read a book a day. I have library cards in three states. I have discount cards from every major bookstore. I've ordered books from another country to get my Favorite Author Fix."

GEEK DILBERT CODE [DI+++]

I am a Dilbert prototype.

GEEK DOOM CODE [D++]

I've played the shareware version and bought the real one and I'm actually pretty good at the game. I occasionally download PWAD files and play them too.

THE GEEK CODE [G++]

I know what each letter means, but sometimes have to look up the specifics.

GEEK EDUCATION CODE [e*]

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

GEEK HOUSING CODE [h-(*)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Living with one or more registered Geeks.", to: "I'm not sure where I live anymore. This lab/workplace seems like home to me."

GEEK RELATIONSHIPS CODE [r>+++]

I date periodically. But someday I'd like to say: "Found someone, dated, and am now married."

GEEK SEX CODE [y-]

Male. Not having sex by choice.
