- Geek: GCS/H
- I'm a geek of computer science.
- a geek of humanities.
- Dress: d
-
I dress a lot like those found in catalog ads. Bland, boring,
without life or meaning.

I'm a little taller than most.
-
I'm a little rounder than most.
- Age: a+
-
I'm between 40 and 49.
- Computers: 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.
-
I'm making money at this.
- Unix: UH++$
-
HPUX:
-
I've got the entire admin ticked off at me because I am always
using all of the CPU time and trying to run programs that I
don't have access to. I'm going to try cracking /etc/passwd
next week, just don't tell anyone.
-
I'm making money at this.
- Perl: 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.

I know what Linux is, but that's about all.

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 am a mac guru. Anything those DOS putzes and Unix nerds can
do, I can do better, and if not, I'll write the damn software
to do it.
-
I'd like to be making money at this.
- Politics-Social: 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.
- Politics-Economic: PE-
-
It's ok to increase government spending, so we can help
more poor people. Tax the rich! Cut the defense budget!
- Cypherpunks: Y+

I have an interest and concern in privacy issues, but in reality
I am not really all that active or vocal.
- PGP: PGP
-
I've used it, but stopped long ago.

It's a damn fine TV show and is one of the only things good
on television any more.

-
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!

years!

To hell with Doom, I miss Zork.
