Shape: s+:

I'm a little taller than most.

I'm as round as an average geek.

Age: a

I'm between 30 and 39.

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'm making money at this.

Unix: UL++++$

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.

    I'm making money at this.

Perl: P++$

Perl is a powerful programming tool. I don't write shell scripts anymore because I write them in Perl.

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

    I'm making money at this.

Emacs sucks! vi forever!!!

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 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.

Politics-Social: PS+(++)

    I range from ...

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.

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-

It's ok to increase government spending, so we can help more poor people. Tax the rich! Cut the defense budget!

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.
