My Geek Code (v3.1) says....

Geek: GCS/M

I'm a geek of computer science.

   a geek of math.

Dress: d-

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

Shape: s+:(+)>-

I'm a little taller than most.

    I range from ...

I'm as round as an average geek.

    ... to ...

I'm a little rounder than most.

Age: a-

I'm between 25 and 29.

Computers: C++(++++)$

    I range from ...

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.

    ... to ...

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

    I'm making money at this.

Unix: UL++++S++$

Linux:

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.

SunOS/Solaris:

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-(--)>---

    I range from ...

What's Perl got that awk and sed don't have?

    ... to ...

Perl users are sick, twisted programmers who are just showing off.

    ... but I'd like to be ...

Perl combines the power of sh, the clarity of sed, and the performance of awk with the simplicity of C. It should be banned.

Linux: L+++$>++++

I use Linux exclusively on my system. I monitor comp.os.linux.* and even answer questions some times.

    I'm making money at this.

    ... but I'd like to be ...

I am a Linux wizard. I munch C code for breakfast and have enough room left over for kernel debugging. I have so many patches installed that I lost track about ten versions ago. Linux newbies consider me a net.god.

Emacs: E+(++)$

    I range from ...

Emacs is great! I read my mail and news with it!

    ... to ...

I know and use elisp regularly!

    I'm making money at this.

Web: 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.

    I'm making money at this.

    ... but I'd like to be ...

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 spif them up with bandwidth-consuming pictures and pointless information links.

Usenet: N+

I read news recreationally when I have some time to kill.

Usenet Oracle: !o

I don't consult the Usenet Oracle.

Kibo: !K

I intentionally avoid Kibo.

Windows: w(---)

    I range from ...

Ok, so I use MS Windows. I don't have to like it.

    ... 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.

OS/2: !O

I don't use OS/2.

Macintosh: !M

I don't use a Mac.

VMS: 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.

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

Distrust both government and business.

Cypherpunks: Y+>++

I have an interest and concern in privacy issues, but in reality I am not really all that active or vocal.

    ... but I'd like to be ...

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's a warning to ours and future generations. I'm a member of the EFF.

PGP: PGP

I've used it, but stopped long ago.

Trek: t+(++)

    I range from ...

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

    ... to ...

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.

Babylon 5: !5

I don't watch Babylon 5.

X-Files: X++

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..

Roleplaying: !R

I don't role-play.

Television: tv(+)

    I range from ...

I watch only the shows that are actually worth while, such as those found on PBS.

    ... to ...

I watch some tv every day.

Books: b>++

I read the newspaper and the occasional book.

    ... but I'd like to be ...

I find the time to get through at least one new book a month.

Dilbert: DI++++

I've received mail from Scott Adams. I'm in the DNRC (Dogbert's New Ruling Class).

DOOM!: !D

I don't play Doom.

Geek Code: G(++)

    I range from ...

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

    ... to ...

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

Education: e+++>++++

Got a masters degree

    ... but I'd like to be ...

Managed to get my Ph.D.

Housing: h--->----

Married, (persons living romanticly with someone might as well label themselves h---, you're as good as there already.)

    ... but I'd like to be ...

Married with children -- Al Bundy can sympathize.

Relationships: r+++

Found someone, dated, and am now married.

Sex[m]: y+++

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