- Geek: GCS/P
- I'm a geek of computer science.
- a geek of philosophy.
- Dress: d-
-
I'm usually in jeans and a t-shirt.
- Shape: s:+
-
I'm the height of an average geek.
-
I'm a little rounder than most.
- Computers: C++++
-
I'll be the first in line to get the new cybernetic interface
installed into my skull.
- Unix: ULB++++$
-
Linux:
-
I have a unix account to do my stuff in.
-
BSD:
-
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.
-
I'm making money at this.
- Perl: 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 Perl has superseded all other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.
- Linux: L-
-
I have no desire to use Linux and frankly don't give a rats
patootie about it. There are other, better, operating
systems out there. Like Mac, DOS, or Amiga-OS. Or,
better yet even, would be another free Unix OS like FreeBSD.

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.
- OS/2: O-
-
Tried it, didn't like it.
- Macintosh: M+
-
A mac has it's uses and I use it quite often.
- 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++
-
Keep the government off the backs of businesses.
Deregulate as much as possible.
- Cypherpunks: Y+
-
I have an interest and concern in privacy issues, but in reality
I am not really all that active or vocal.

I've used it, but stopped long ago.

It's a damn fine TV show and is one of the only things good

It's a fun, action game that is a nice diversion on a lazy
afternoon.

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

-
I learned everything there is to know about life from the
"Hitchhiker's Trilogy".

Living alone, get out once a week to buy food, no more than
once a month to do laundry. All surfaces covered.

-
I've dated my current SO for a long time.

-
It's none of your business what my sex life is like.
