Decoded Geek Code

GEEK TYPE CODE [GAT/CS/E/IT/S]

Geek of All Trades, Geek of Computer Science, Geek of Engineering, Geek of Information Technology, Geek of Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, etc.).

GEEK DRESS CODE [d?-]

I have no idea what I am wearing right now, let alone what I wore yesterday. I'm usually in jeans and a t-shirt.

GEEK SHAPE CODE [s++:]

I'm a basketball candidate.

GEEK AGE CODE [a]

My age is 30-39.

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

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I'll be first in line to get the new cybernetic interface installed into my skull.", 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 [U++++$]

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++(+++)$]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Perl is a powerful programming tool. I don't write shell scripts anymore because I write them in Perl.", to: "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++(+++)$]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "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.", to: "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----]

Emacs sucks! pico 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've submitted a question, but it has never been incarnated.

GEEK KIBO CODE [K]

I know who Kibo is.

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

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

GEEK OS/2 CODE [O]

I finally managed to get OS/2 installed but wasn't too terribly impressed.

GEEK MACINTOSH CODE [M-]

Macs suck. All real geeks have a character prompt.

GEEK VMS CODE [V-]

Unix is much better than VMS for my computing needs.

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]

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++]

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.

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+(-)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I've Converted my family and watch the show when I remember. It's really kinda fun.", to: "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 watch only the shows that are actually worthwhile, such as those found on PBS.

GEEK BOOKS CODE [b++]

I find the time to get through at least one new book a month.

GEEK DILBERT CODE [DI++]

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

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

GEEK EDUCATION CODE [e*]

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

GEEK HOUSING CODE [h-]

Living with one or more registered Geeks.

GEEK RELATIONSHIPS CODE [r++]

I've dated my current S.O. for a long time.

GEEK SEX CODE [y?]

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