Decoded Geek Code

GEEK TYPE CODE [GE/CS/IT]

Geek of Engineering, Geek of Computer Science, Geek of Information Technology.

GEEK DRESS CODE [d-]

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

GEEK SHAPE CODE [s:]

I'm an average geek.

GEEK AGE CODE [a]

My age is 30-39.

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

My tendencies on this issue range from: "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.", to: "If you even mention computers, I will rip your head off!" Getting paid for it!

GEEK UNIX CODE [ULB++++$]

I use GNU/Linux and BSD. 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 powerful programming tool. I don't write shell scripts anymore because I write them in Perl.

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

I use GNU/Linux exclusively on my system. I monitor comp.os.linux.* and even answer questions sometimes. Getting paid for it!

GEEK EMACS CODE [E++(-)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I know and use elisp regularly!", to: "Emacs is too big and bloated for my tastes"

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?]

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$]

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. Getting paid for it!

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 give to liberal causes. I march for gay rights. I'm a card carrying member of the ACLU. Keep abortion safe and legal.

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 a damn fine TV show and is one of the only things good on television any more.

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+@]

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

GEEK ROLE-PLAYING CODE [R]

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

GEEK TELEVISION CODE [tv]

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

GEEK BOOKS CODE [b+]

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

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---]

To hell with Doom, I miss Zork.

THE GEEK CODE [G+]

I was once G++ (or higher), but the new versions are getting too long and too complicated.

GEEK EDUCATION CODE [e++(*)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Got a Baccalaureate degree.", to: "I learned everything there is to know about life from the "Hitchhiker's Trilogy"."

GEEK HOUSING CODE [h---]

Married, (persons living romantically with someone might as well label themselves h---, you're as good as there already.)

GEEK SEX CODE [y++]

Male. I was once referred to as 'easy'. I have no idea where that might have come from though.
