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

Geek: GCS

I'm a geek of computer science.

Dress: d-

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

Shape: s:---

I'm the height of an average geek.

My bones are poking through my skin.

Age: a--

I'm between 20 and 24.

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'd like to be making money at this.

Unix: USUVHL++>$

SunOS/Solaris:

I have a unix account to do my stuff in.

Ultrix:

I have a unix account to do my stuff in.

SysV:

I have a unix account to do my stuff in.

HPUX:

I have a unix account to do my stuff in.

Linux:

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'd like to be making money at this.

Perl: P-

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

Linux: L++>+++>$

I use Linux ALMOST exclusively on my system. I've given up trying to achieve Linux.God status, but welcome the OS as a replacement for DOS. I only boot to DOS to play games.

    ... but I'd like to be ...

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

    I'd like to be making money at this.

Emacs: E-

Emacs is just too big and bloated for my tastes.

Web: W+++(-)$

    I range from ...

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.

    ... to ...

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.

    I'm making money at this.

Usenet: N+

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

Usenet Oracle: o?

What's the Usenet Oracle?

Windows: w(---)

    I range from ...

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

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-

Macs suck. All real geeks have a character prompt.

VMS: !V

I don't use VMS.

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.

Trek: t+

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

Babylon 5: !5

I don't watch Babylon 5.

X-Files: X+

I've Converted my family and watch the show when I remember. It's really kinda fun.
