Decoded Geek Code

GEEK TYPE CODE [GCS/O]

Geek of Computer Science, Geek of Other.

GEEK DRESS CODE [!d]

No clothing. Quite a fashion statement, don't you think?

GEEK SHAPE CODE [s+:]

I'm a little taller than most.

GEEK AGE CODE [a]

My age is 30-39.

GEEK COMPUTERS CODE [C+(++)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Computers are fun and I enjoy using them. I play a mean game of DOOM! and can use a word processor without resorting to the manual too often. I know that a 3.5" disk is not a hard disk. I also know that when it says 'press any key to continue', I don't have to look for a key labeled 'ANY'.", 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."

GEEK UNIX CODE [ULUAS++++$]

I use GNU/Linux, Ultrix, AIX and SunOS/Solaris. 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 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.", to: "I don't write Perl, I speak it. Perl has superseded all other programming languages. I firmly believe that all programs can be reduced to a Perl one-liner. I use Perl to achieve U+++ status." 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."

GEEK EMACS CODE [E---]

Emacs sucks! vi forever!!!

GEEK WORLD WIDE WEB CODE [W++]

I have a homepage. I surf daily. My homepage is advertised in my .signature.

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]

I refuse to categorize myself on Kibo.

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?]

OS/2? I don't even know what that is...

GEEK MACINTOSH CODE [!M]

I refuse to categorize myself on Macintosh.

GEEK VMS CODE [V(-)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I've used VMS.", to: "Unix is much better than VMS for my computing needs."

GEEK POLITICS & SOCIAL ISSUES CODE [!PS]

I refuse to categorize myself on Politics & Social Issues.

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

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Distrust both government and business.", to: "Capitalism is evil! Government should provide the services we really need. Nobody should be rich."

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 that varies...

GEEK STAR TREK CODE [t+(*)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "It's a damn fine TV show and is one of the only things good on television any more.", to: "I identify with Barclay, the greatest of the Trek Geeks."

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: "Ho hum. Just another Fox show.", to: "It's ok if you like paranoia and conspiracy stories, but, let's face it, it's crap."

GEEK ROLE-PLAYING CODE [R-]

Gosh, what an utter waste of time!

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've received mail from Scott Adams. I'm in the DNRC (Dogbert's New Ruling Class).

GEEK DOOM CODE [D-(---)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I've played the game and really didn't think it was all that impressive.", to: "To hell with Doom, I miss Zork."

THE GEEK CODE [G]

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

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"." But someday I'd like to say: "Managed to get my Ph.D."

GEEK SEX CODE [y?]

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