- Geek: GS
- I'm a geek of science.
- Dress: d+
-
Good leisure-wear. Slacks, button-shirt, etc. No jeans,
tennis shoes, or t-shirts.
- Shape: s-:+
-
I look up to most people.
-
I'm a little rounder than most.
- Age: a
-
I'm between 30 and 39.
- Computers: C+(+++)
- I range from ...
-
Computers are fun and I enjoy using them. I play a mean game of
DOOM! and can use a word processor without resorting to the
manual too often. I know that a 3.5" disk is not a hard disk.
I also know that when it says 'press any key to continue', I
don't have to look for a key labeled 'ANY'.
- ... to ...
-
You mean there is life outside of Internet? You're shittin' me!
I haven't dragged myself to class in weeks.
- Unix: UA+
-
AIX:
-
I not only have an account, but I slam VMS any
chance I get.
- Perl: P
-
I know Perl exists, but that's all.
- Linux: L+
-
I've managed to get Linux installed and even used it a few
times. It seems like it is just another OS.
- Emacs: !E
-
I don't use Emacs.
- Web: W++
-
I have a homepage. I surf daily. My homepage is advertised
in my .signature.
- 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---
-
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 use OS/2 for all my computing needs. I use some DOS
and Windows programs, but run them under OS/2. If the
program won't run under OS/2, then obviously I don't need
it.
- Macintosh: M--
-
Macs do more than suck. They make a user stupid by allowing them
to use the system without knowing what they are doing. Mac weenies
have lower IQs than the fuzz in my navel.
- VMS: V+++
-
I am a VMS sysadmin. I wield far more power than those
UNIX admins, because UNIX can be found on any dweeb's
desktop. Power through obscurity is my motto.
- Politics-Social: PS++
-
I give to liberal causes. I march for gay rights. I'm a
card carrying member of the ACLU. Keep abortion safe and
legal.
- Politics-Economic: PE+
-
Balance the budget with spending cuts and an amendment.
- 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+
-
"Finger me for my public key"
- Trek: t++
-
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've seen it, I am pretty indifferent to it.
- X-Files: X--
-
If I wanted to watch this kind of stuff, I'd talk to
Oliver Stone
- Roleplaying: R*
-
I thought life WAS role-playing?
- Television: tv-
-
I watch tv for the news and 'special programming'.
- Books: b+>b+++
-
I enjoy reading, but don't get the time very often.
- ... but I'd like to be ...
-
_Unknown books code b+++_
- Dilbert: DI++
-
I work with people that act a lot like Dilbert and his boss.
- DOOM!: !D
-
I don't play Doom.
- Geek Code: G-
-
What a tremendous waste of time this Geek Code is.
- Education: e++++
-
Managed to get my Ph.D.
- Housing: h*
-
I'm not sure where I live anymore. This lab/workplace seems
like home to me.
- Relationships: r
-
I date periodically.
- Sex[m]: y?
-
It's none of your business what my sex life is like.
