- Geek: GCS
- I'm a geek of computer science.
- Dress: d-(++)
- I range from ...
-
I'm usually in jeans and a t-shirt.
- ... to ...
-
I tend to wear conservative dress such as a business suit
or worse, a tie.
- Shape: s+:-
-
I'm a little taller than most.
-
Everyone tells me to gain a few pounds.
- 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 ...
-
You mean there is life outside of Internet? You're shittin' me!
I haven't dragged myself to class in weeks.
-
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 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+++
-
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.
- Linux: L+++
-
I use Linux exclusively on my system. I monitor
comp.os.linux.* and even answer questions some times.
- Emacs: E
-
Yeah, I know what emacs is, and use it as my regular editor.

I have a homepage. I surf daily. My homepage is advertised
in my .signature.

I don't use Usenet.
- Usenet Oracle: !o
-
I don't consult the Usenet Oracle.
- Kibo: K-
-
I don't know who Kibo is.
- Windows: 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.
- OS/2: !O
-
I don't use OS/2.
- Macintosh: M-
-
Macs suck. All real geeks have a character prompt.
- 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-
-
Label records! Keep dirty stuff off the TV and the
Internet.
- Politics-Economic: PE++
-
Keep the government off the backs of businesses.
Deregulate as much as possible.

I have an interest and concern in privacy issues, but in reality
I am not really all that active or vocal.
- PGP: PGP+
-
"Finger me for my public key"
- Trek: t-
-
Maybe it's just me, but I have no idea what the big deal with
Star Trek is. Perhaps I'm missing something but I just think
it is bad drama.
- Babylon 5: 5+
-
Babylon 5 certainly presents a fresh perspective in the Sci-Fi
universe. I watch it weekly.
- X-Files: X
-
Ho hum. Just another Fox show.
- Roleplaying: R(+)
- I range from ...
-
Role-Playing? That's just something to do to kill a Saturday
afternoon.
- ... to ...
-
I've got my weekly sessions set up and a character that I know
better than I know myself.
- Television: tv
-
I watch only the shows that are actually worth while,
such as those found on PBS.
- Books: b++
-
I find the time to get through at least one new book a month.
- Dilbert: DI++
-
I work with people that act a lot like Dilbert and his boss.
- DOOM!: 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.

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

-
Got a bachelors degree

well label themselves h---, you're as good as there already.)
- Relationships: r+++
-
Found someone, dated, and am now married.
- Sex[m]: y+++
-
I'm married, so I can get it (theoretically) whenever I
want.
