Decoded Geek Code


GEEK TYPE CODE [GCS/IT/TW]

Geek of Computer Science, Geek of Information Technology, Geek of Technical Writing.

GEEK DRESS CODE [d-(+)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I'm usually in jeans and a t-shirt.", to: "Good leisure-wear. Slacks, button-shirt, etc. No jeans, tennis shoes, or t-shirts."

GEEK SHAPE CODE [s:+>:]

I'm a little rounder than most. But someday I'd like to say: "I'm an average geek."

GEEK AGE CODE [a>?>-----]

My age is 30-39. But someday I'd like to say: "I am immortal." But someday I'd like to say: "My age is 9 and under (Geek in training?)."

GEEK COMPUTERS CODE [C+++$]

You mean there is life outside of Internet? You're shittin' me! I haven't dragged myself to class in weeks. Getting paid for it!

GEEK UNIX CODE [UB++++LS++++$]

I use BSD, GNU/Linux 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+++$@>++++]

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! But that varies... But someday I'd like to say: "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 Perl has superseded all other programming languages.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."

GEEK GNU/LINUX CODE [L++@]

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. But that varies...

GEEK EMACS CODE [E-]

Emacs is too big and bloated for my tastes

GEEK WORLD WIDE WEB CODE [W++(+++)@]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I have a homepage. I surf daily. My homepage is advertised in my .signature.", 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." But that varies...

GEEK USENET CODE [N++(+)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I read all the news in a select handful of groups.", to: "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+(++)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I like Kibo.", to: "I've read Kibo."

GEEK MICROSOFT WINDOWS CODE [w++++(---)@]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I have Windows, Windows 95, Windows NT, and Windows NT Advanced Server all running on my SMP RISC machine. I haven't seen daylight in six months.", 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." But that varies...

GEEK OS/2 CODE [O]

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

GEEK MACINTOSH CODE [M-()]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Macs suck. All real geeks have a character prompt.", to: "I use a Mac, but I'm pretty indifferent about it."

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+(-)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "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.", to: "Label records! Keep dirty stuff off the TV and the Internet."

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++(+++)@]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "It's the best show around. I have all the episodes and the movies on tape and can quote entire scenes verbatim. I've built a few of the model kits too. But you'll never catch me at one of those conventions. Those people are kooks.", to: "It's not just a TV show, it's a religion. I know all about warp field dynamics and the principles behind the transporter. I have memorized the TECH manual. I speak Klingon. I go to cons with Vulcan ears on. I have no life." But that varies...

GEEK BABYLON 5 CODE [5+(++)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Babylon 5 certainly presents a fresh perspective in the Sci-Fi universe. I watch it weekly.", to: "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(+)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Ho hum. Just another Fox show.", to: "I've Converted my family and watch the show when I remember. It's really kinda fun."

GEEK ROLE-PLAYING CODE [R(*)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Role-Playing? That's just something to do to kill a Saturday afternoon.", to: "I thought life WAS role-playing?"

GEEK TELEVISION CODE [tv(+)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I watch only the shows that are actually worthwhile, such as those found on PBS.", to: "I watch some tv every day."

GEEK BOOKS CODE [b(+)+++>$]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I enjoy reading, but don't get the time very often.", to: "I consume a few books a week as part of a staple diet." But someday I'd like to say: "Getting paid for it!"

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

GEEK EDUCATION CODE [e++*>+++>+++++]

Got a Baccalaureate degree. I learned everything there is to know about life from the "Hitchhiker's Trilogy". But someday I'd like to say: "Got a Masters degree." But someday I'd like to say: "I am Stephen Hawking."

GEEK HOUSING CODE [h*+()>++>----]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I'm not sure where I live anymore. This lab/workplace seems like home to me. Living alone, get out once a week to buy food, no more than once a month to do laundry. All surfaces covered.", to: "Friends come over to visit every once in a while to talk about Geek things. There is a place for them to sit." But someday I'd like to say: "Living in a cave with 47 computers and an Internet feed, located near a Dominoes pizza. See !d." But someday I'd like to say: "Married with children - Al Bundy can sympathize."

GEEK RELATIONSHIPS CODE [r++>+++]

I've dated my current S.O. for a long time. But someday I'd like to say: "Found someone, dated, and am now married."

GEEK SEX CODE [y+>*(---)]

Male. I've had real, live sex. But someday I'd like to say: "My tendencies on this issue range from: "I'm a pervert.", to: "Not having sex because I'm a nun or a priest.""
