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

Geek: GIT

I'm a geek of information technology.

Dress: d-

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

Shape: s+:

I'm a little taller than most.

I'm as round as an average geek.

Age: a+

I'm between 40 and 49.

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.

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.

Perl: P+>++

I know of perl. I like perl. I just haven't learned much perl, but it's on my agenda.

    ... but I'd like to be ...

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

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.

    I'm making money at this.

Emacs: E---

Emacs sucks! vi forever!!!

Web: W+++$

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.

    I'm making money at this.

Usenet: N++

I read all the news in a select handful of groups.

Usenet Oracle: o+

I have been incarnated at least once.

Kibo: K-

I don't know who Kibo is.

Windows: w

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

OS/2: O

I finally managed to get OS/2 installed but wasn't too terribly impressed.

Macintosh: M-@

_Unknown macintosh code -@_

VMS: V-

Unix is much better than VMS for my computing needs.

Politics-Social: PS

I really don't have an opinion; nobody's messing with my freedoms right now.

Politics-Economic: PE+

Balance the budget with spending cuts and an amendment.

Cypherpunks: Y-

It seems to me that all of these concerns are a little extreme. I mean, the government must be able to protect itself from criminals and the populace from indecent speech.

PGP: PGP->+

I don't have anything to hide.

    ... but I'd like to be ...

"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++

This is one of the better shows I've seen. I wish I'd taped everything from the start at SP, because I'm wearing out my EP tapes. I'll periodically debate online. I've Converted at least 5 people. I've gotten a YAXA..

Roleplaying: R+

I've got my weekly sessions set up and a character that I know better than I know myself.

Television: tv+@

_Unknown television code +@_

Books: b-

I read when there is no other way to get the information.

Dilbert: DI--

Don't read it, but I think the dog is kinda cute.

DOOM!: D+

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

Geek Code: G

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

Education: e+>+++@

Got an associates degree

    ... but I'd like to be ...

_Unknown education code +++@_

Housing: h++

Living in a cave with 47 computers and an Internet feed, located near a Dominoes pizza. See !d

Relationships: r++

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

Sex[m]: y++

I was once referred to as 'easy'. I have no idea where that might have come from though.
