Decoded Geek Code

GEEK TYPE CODE [GAT/CS/M/S/CC]

Geek of All Trades, Geek of Computer Science, Geek of Math, Geek of Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, etc.), Geek of Communications.

GEEK DRESS CODE [d-(++)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I'm usually in jeans and a t-shirt.", to: "I tend to wear conservative dress such as a business suit or worse, a tie."

GEEK SHAPE CODE [s++:]

I'm a basketball candidate.

GEEK AGE CODE [a->?]

My age is 25-29. But someday I'd like to say: "I am immortal."

GEEK COMPUTERS CODE [C++++>]

I'll be first in line to get the new cybernetic interface installed into my skull. But someday I'd like to say: "Computers are a tool, nothing more. I use it when it serves my purpose."

GEEK UNIX CODE [ULB*++(+++)>++++$]

I use GNU/Linux, BSD and some other(s) not listed. 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 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!" 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. Getting paid for it!"

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+++(-@)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I use GNU/Linux exclusively on my system. I monitor comp.os.linux.* and even answer questions sometimes.", to: "I have no desire to use GNU/Linux and frankly don't give a rats patootie about it. There are other, better, operating systems out there. Like Mac, DOS, or Amiga-OS. Or, better yet even, would be another free Unix OS like FreeBSD. But that varies..."

GEEK EMACS CODE [E(+++)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Yeah, I know what emacs is, and use it as my regular editor.", to: "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+++$(-)]

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. Getting paid for it!", 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."

GEEK USENET CODE [N++]

I read all the news in a select handful of groups.

GEEK MICROSOFT WINDOWS CODE [w$(---)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Ok, so I use MS Windows, I don't have to like it. Getting paid for it!", to: "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."

GEEK OS/2 CODE [O-]

Tried it, didn't like it.

GEEK MACINTOSH CODE [M++]

I am a Mac guru. Anything those DOS putzes and unix nerds can do, I can do better, and if not, I'll write the damn software to do it.

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++]

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 have the most recent version and use it regularly.

GEEK STAR TREK CODE [t@]

It's just another TV show. But that varies...

GEEK BABYLON 5 CODE [5+]

Babylon 5 certainly presents a fresh perspective in the Sci-Fi universe. I watch it weekly.

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]

Role-Playing? That's just something to do to kill a Saturday afternoon.

GEEK TELEVISION CODE [!tv+]

I do not own a television. But if I did participate in this category, I would characterize myself as follows: "I watch some tv every day."

GEEK BOOKS CODE [b+]

I enjoy reading, but don't get the time very often.

GEEK DILBERT CODE [DI+]

I read Dilbert daily, often understanding it.

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 the geek code is and even did up this code.

GEEK EDUCATION CODE [e++]

Got a Baccalaureate degree.

GEEK HOUSING CODE [h--(----)>++]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Living with one or more people who know nothing about being a Geek and refuse to watch Babylon 5.", to: "Married with children - Al Bundy can sympathize." But someday I'd like to say: "Living in a cave with 47 computers and an Internet feed, located near a Dominoes pizza. See !d."

GEEK RELATIONSHIPS CODE [r+++]

Found someone, dated, and am now married.

GEEK SEX CODE [y+$+++(++++)]

Male. My tendencies on this issue range from: "I've had real, live sex. Getting paid for it! I'm married, so I can get it (theoretically) whenever I want.", to: "I have a few little rug rats to prove I've been there. Besides, with kids around, who has time for sex?"
