GEEK TYPE CODE [GP/CM/MU/CS/L/SS]

Geek of Philosophy, Geek of Computer Management, Geek of Music, Geek of Computer Science, Geek of Literature, Geek of Social Science (Psychology, Sociology, etc.).

GEEK DRESS CODE [d-]

I'm usually in jeans and a t-shirt.

GEEK SHAPE CODE [s:+]

I'm a little rounder than most.

GEEK AGE CODE [a-]

My age is 25-29.

GEEK COMPUTERS CODE [C+++(++)>++++]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "You mean there is life outside of Internet? You're shittin' me! I haven't dragged myself to class in weeks.", 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." But someday I'd like to say: "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 don't need to crack /etc/passwd because I just modified su so that it doesn't prompt me. The admin staff doesn't even know I'm here. If you don't understand what I just said, this category does NOT apply to you!

GEEK PERL CODE [P++++]

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 Perl has superseded all other programming languages.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 exclusively on my system. I monitor comp.os.linux.* and even answer questions sometimes.

GEEK EMACS CODE [E-(--)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Emacs is too big and bloated for my tastes", to: "Emacs is just a fancy word processor"

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

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I have the latest version of Netscape, and wander the web only when there's something specific I'm looking for.", to: "I have a homepage. I surf daily. My homepage is advertised in my .signature."

GEEK USENET CODE [N*]

All I do is read news.

GEEK USENET ORACLE CODE [!o]

I refuse to categorize myself on Usenet Oracle.

GEEK KIBO CODE [K-]

I don't know who Kibo is.

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-]

Tried it, didn't like it.

GEEK MACINTOSH CODE [M+]

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

GEEK VMS CODE [V-(--)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Unix is much better than VMS for my computing needs.", to: "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 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-()]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "It's ok to increase government spending, so we can help more poor people. Tax the rich! Cut the defense budget!", to: "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+>++]

"Finger me for my public key". But someday I'd like to say: "I have the most recent version and use it regularly."

GEEK STAR TREK CODE [t]

It's just another TV show.

GEEK BABYLON 5 CODE [5(-)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I've seen it, I am pretty indifferent to it.", to: "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: "This is one of the better shows I've seen. I wish I'd taped everything from the start at SP, because I'm wearing out my EP tapes. I'll periodically debate online. I've Converted at least 5 people. I've gotten a YAXA.", 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: "Gosh, what an utter waste of time!", to: "I thought life WAS role-playing?"

GEEK TELEVISION CODE [tv@]

I watch only the shows that are actually worthwhile, such as those found on PBS. But that varies...

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

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I find the time to get through at least one new book a month.", to: "I enjoy reading, but don't get the time very often." But someday I'd like to say: "I read a book a day. I have library cards in three states. I have discount cards from every major bookstore. I've ordered books from another country to get my Favorite Author Fix."

GEEK DILBERT CODE [DI+++]

I am a Dilbert prototype.

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

My tendencies on this issue range from: "It's a fun, action game that is a nice diversion on a lazy afternoon.", to: "I've seen better on my Atari 2600."

THE GEEK CODE [G-(++)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "What a tremendous waste of time this Geek Code is.", to: "I know what each letter means, but sometimes have to look up the specifics."

GEEK EDUCATION CODE [e+>++$]

Got an Associate degree. But someday I'd like to say: "Got a Baccalaureate degree. Getting paid for it!"

GEEK HOUSING CODE [h+$()>++$]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Living alone, get out once a week to buy food, no more than once a month to do laundry. All surfaces covered. Getting paid for it!", 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. Getting paid for it!"

GEEK RELATIONSHIPS CODE [r-(--)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I have difficulty maintaining a relationship.", to: "People just aren't interested in dating me."

GEEK SEX CODE [!y]

Sex? What's that? I've had no sexual experiences.
