Decoded Geek Code

GEEK TYPE CODE [GCS/E/IT/MU/O]

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

GEEK DRESS CODE [d-(--)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I'm usually in jeans and a t-shirt.", to: "My t-shirts go a step further and have a trendy political message on them."

GEEK SHAPE CODE [s+:-]

I'm a little taller than most. Everyone tells me to gain a few pounds.

GEEK AGE CODE [a?(--)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I am immortal.", to: "My age is 20-24."

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: "Getting paid for it!"

GEEK UNIX CODE [UBLIS++++(---)]

I use BSD, GNU/Linux, IRIX and SunOS/Solaris. My tendencies on this issue range from: "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.", to: "Unix geeks are actually nerds in disguise."

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: "I am Larry Wall, Tom Christiansen, or Randal Schwartz."

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

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.

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: ""

GEEK WORLD WIDE WEB CODE [W+]

I have the latest version of Netscape, and wander the web only when there's something specific I'm looking for.

GEEK USENET CODE [N--]

News sucks! 'Nuff said.

GEEK USENET ORACLE CODE [o?]

Usenet Oracle? I don't even know what that is...

GEEK KIBO CODE [K-]

I don't 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.

GEEK OS/2 CODE [O-]

Tried it, didn't like it.

GEEK MACINTOSH CODE [M--@]

Macs do more than suck. They make a user stupid by allowing them to use the system without knowing what they are doing. Mac weenies have lower IQs than the fuzz in my navel. But that varies...

GEEK VMS CODE [V-]

Unix is much better than VMS for my computing needs.

GEEK POLITICS & SOCIAL ISSUES CODE [PS>+++@]

I really don't have an opinion; nobody's messing with my freedoms right now. But someday I'd like to say: "Legalize drugs! Abolish the government. Fuck the draft! But that varies..."

GEEK POLITICS & ECONOMIC ISSUES CODE [!PE]

I refuse to categorize myself on Politics & Economic Issues.

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 don't have anything to hide. But that varies...

GEEK STAR TREK CODE [t-]

Maybe it is just me, but I have no idea what the big deal with Star Trek is. Perhaps I'm missing something but I just think it is bad drama.

GEEK BABYLON 5 CODE [5]

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

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*]

I thought life WAS role-playing?

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 turn my tv on during natural disasters."

GEEK BOOKS CODE [b+]

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

GEEK DILBERT CODE [DI?]

Dilbert? I don't even know what that is...

GEEK DOOM CODE [D+]

It's a fun, action game that is a nice diversion on a lazy afternoon.

THE GEEK CODE [G-(--)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "What a tremendous waste of time this Geek Code is.", to: "Not only a waste of time, but it obviously shows that this Hayden guy needs a life."

GEEK EDUCATION CODE [e>+++$]

Finished High School. But someday I'd like to say: "Got a Masters degree. Getting paid for it!"

GEEK HOUSING CODE [h]

Friends come over to visit every once in a while to talk about Geek things. There is a place for them to sit.

GEEK RELATIONSHIPS CODE [r--]

People just aren't interested in dating me.

GEEK SEX CODE [y?@]

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