GEEK TYPE CODE [GCS/H/IT/P/SS]
Geek of Computer Science, Geek of Humanities, Geek of Information
Technology, Geek of Philosophy, Geek of Social Science (Psychology,
Sociology, etc.).
GEEK DRESS CODE [d++(x)]
My tendencies on this issue range from: "I tend to wear
conservative dress such as a business suit or worse, a tie.", to:
"Cross Dresser"
GEEK SHAPE CODE [s:++]
I'm a linebacker candidate.
GEEK AGE CODE [a]
My age is 30-39.
GEEK COMPUTERS CODE [C++]
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 [US$]
I use SunOS/Solaris exclusively. Getting paid for it!
GEEK PERL CODE [P+++(-)$]
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: "What's Perl got that awk and sed
don't have?" Getting paid for it!
GEEK GNU/LINUX CODE [L]
I know what GNU/Linux is, but that's about all.
GEEK EMACS CODE [E]
Yeah, I know what emacs is, and use it as my regular editor.
GEEK WORLD WIDE WEB CODE [W-(+++)]
My tendencies on this issue range from: "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.", to: "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 all the news in a select handful of groups.
GEEK USENET ORACLE CODE [o--]
Who needs answers from a bunch of geeks anyhow?
GEEK KIBO CODE [K?]
Kibo? I don't even know what that is...
GEEK MICROSOFT WINDOWS CODE [w+(---)$]
My tendencies on this issue range from: "I have installed my own
custom sounds, wallpaper, and screen savers so my PC walks and talks
like a fun house. Oh yeah, I have a hundred TrueType(tm) fonts that
I've installed but never used. I never lose Minesweeper and
Solitaire", 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." 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]
I refuse to categorize myself on Macintosh.
GEEK VMS CODE [!V]
I refuse to categorize myself on VMS.
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 don't have anything to hide. But someday I'd like to say: "I
don't send or answer mail that is not encrypted, or at the very
least signed. If you are reading this without decrypting it first,
something is wrong. IT DIDN'T COME FROM ME!"
GEEK STAR TREK CODE [t+*]
It's a damn fine TV show and is one of the only things good on
television any more. I identify with Barclay, the greatest of the
Trek Geeks.
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.
GEEK ROLE-PLAYING CODE [R*]
I thought life WAS role-playing?
GEEK TELEVISION CODE [tv+]
I watch some tv every day.
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+]
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----]
Married with children - Al Bundy can sympathize.
GEEK RELATIONSHIPS CODE [r+++]
Found someone, dated, and am now married.
GEEK SEX CODE [z++++(**)]
Gender undisclosed. My tendencies on this issue range from: "I
have a few little rug rats to prove I've been there. Besides, with
kids around, who has time for sex?", to: "I've been known to make
perverts look like angels."
My Geek Code was decoded by a
script written by
Bradley M. Kuhn.
