Decoded Geek Code

GEEK TYPE CODE [GPA]

Geek of Performing Arts.

GEEK DRESS CODE [d--(---)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "My t-shirts go a step further and have a trendy political message on them.", to: "Punk dresser, including, but not limited to, torn jeans and shirts, body piercings, and prominent tattoos."

GEEK SHAPE CODE [s:-]

Everyone tells me to gain a few pounds.

GEEK AGE CODE [a-]

My age is 25-29.

GEEK COMPUTERS CODE [C++++]

I'll be first in line to get the new cybernetic interface installed into my skull.

GEEK UNIX CODE [UL]

I use GNU/Linux exclusively. I have a unix account to do my stuff in.

GEEK PERL CODE [P>++]

I know Perl exists, but that's all. But someday I'd like to say: "Perl is a powerful programming tool. I don't write shell scripts anymore because I write them in Perl."

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

I've managed to get GNU/Linux installed and even used it a few times. It seems like it is just another OS. But someday I'd like to say: "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--]

Emacs is just a fancy word processor

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 sent my question to the wrong group and got flamed.

GEEK KIBO CODE [K-]

I don't know who Kibo is.

GEEK MICROSOFT WINDOWS CODE [w++++>----]

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. But someday I'd like to say: "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. I'm still trying to install MS Windows and have at least one peripheral that never works right"

GEEK OS/2 CODE [O--]

I can't even get the thing to install!

GEEK MACINTOSH CODE [M+]

A Mac has it's uses and I use it quite often.

GEEK VMS CODE [V--]

I would rather smash my head repeatedly into a brick wall than suffer the agony of working with VMS. It's reminiscent of a dead and decaying pile of moose droppings. Unix rules the universe.

GEEK POLITICS & SOCIAL ISSUES CODE [PS++(+++)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I give to liberal causes. I march for gay rights. I'm a card carrying member of the ACLU. Keep abortion safe and legal.", to: "Legalize drugs! Abolish the government. Fuck the draft!"

GEEK POLITICS & ECONOMIC ISSUES CODE [PE]

Distrust both government and business.

GEEK CYPHERPUNKS CODE [Y++]

I am on the cypherpunks mailing list and active around Usenet. I never miss an opportunity to talk about the evils of Clipper and ITAR and the NSA. Orwell's 1984 is more than a story, it is a warning to our's and future generations. I'm a member of the EFF.

GEEK PGP CODE [PGP++>+++]

I have the most recent version and use it regularly. 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++@($)]

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. But that varies...", to: "It's just another TV show. Getting paid for it!"

GEEK BABYLON 5 CODE [5]

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

GEEK X FILES CODE [X+++]

This is the BEST show on TV, and it's about time. I've seen everything David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson have ever done that been recorded and I'm a loyal Duchovny/ Gillian Anderson fan. I've Converted at least 10 people. I have every episode at SP, debate the fine details on-line, and have a credit for at least 2 YAXAs.

GEEK ROLE-PLAYING CODE [R++]

There is no life outside the role of the die. I know all of the piddly rules of (chosen game). _MY_ own warped rules scare the rest of the players.

GEEK TELEVISION CODE [tv--]

I turn my tv on during natural disasters.

GEEK BOOKS CODE [b+++]

I consume a few books a week as part of a staple diet.

GEEK DILBERT CODE [DI+]

I read Dilbert daily, often understanding it.

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 know what each letter means, but sometimes have to look up the specifics.

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

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 HOUSING CODE [h----]

Married with children - Al Bundy can sympathize.

GEEK RELATIONSHIPS CODE [r+++]

Found someone, dated, and am now married.

GEEK SEX CODE [y+++]

Male. I'm married, so I can get it (theoretically) whenever I want.
