ebassi Decoded Geek Code


GEEK TYPE CODE [GCS]

Geek of Computer Science.

GEEK DRESS CODE [d-(+)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I'm usually in jeans and a t-shirt.", to: "Good leisure-wear. Slacks, button-shirt, etc. No jeans, tennis shoes, or t-shirts."

GEEK SHAPE CODE [s:]

I'm an average geek.

GEEK AGE CODE [a-]

My age is 25-29.

GEEK COMPUTERS CODE [C++++$]

I'll be first in line to get the new cybernetic interface installed into my skull. Getting paid for it!

GEEK UNIX CODE [UL++++$]

I use GNU/Linux exclusively. 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. Getting paid for it!

GEEK PERL CODE [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. But someday I'd like to say: "I don't write Perl, I speak it. Perl has superseded all other programming languages. I firmly believe that all programs can be reduced to a Perl one-liner. I use Perl to achieve U+++ status."

GEEK GNU/LINUX CODE [L+++>++++$]

I use GNU/Linux exclusively on my system. I monitor comp.os.linux.* and even answer questions sometimes. But someday I'd like to say: "I am a GNU/Linux wizard. I munch C code for breakfast and have enough room left over for a kernel debugging. I have so many patches installed that I lost track about ten versions ago. GNU/Linux newbies consider me a net.god. Getting paid for it!"

GEEK EMACS CODE [E---]

Emacs sucks! vi forever!!!

GEEK WORLD WIDE WEB CODE [W++]

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

GEEK USENET CODE [N+(+++)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I read news recreationally when I have some time to kill.", to: "I read so many news groups that the next batch of news comes in before I finish reading the last batch, and I have to read for about 2 hours straight before I'm caught up on the morning's news. Then there's the afternoon..."

GEEK USENET ORACLE CODE [o+]

I have been incarnated at least once.

GEEK KIBO CODE [!K]

I refuse to categorize myself on Kibo.

GEEK MICROSOFT WINDOWS CODE [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.

GEEK OS/2 CODE [O--()]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I can't even get the thing to install!", to: "I finally managed to get OS/2 installed but wasn't too terribly impressed."

GEEK MACINTOSH CODE [M]

I use a Mac, but I'm pretty indifferent about it.

GEEK VMS CODE [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.

GEEK POLITICS & SOCIAL ISSUES CODE [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.

GEEK POLITICS & ECONOMIC ISSUES CODE [PE-]

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

GEEK CYPHERPUNKS CODE [Y+>++]

I have an interest and concern in privacy issues, but in reality I am not really all that active or vocal. But someday I'd like to say: "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 is a warning to our's and future generations. I'm a member of the EFF."

GEEK PGP CODE [PGP++>+++]

I have the most recent version and use it regularly. But someday I'd like to say: "I don't send or answer mail that is not encrypted, or at the very least signed. If you are reading this without decrypting it first, something is wrong. IT DIDN'T COME FROM ME!"

GEEK STAR TREK CODE [t++(+++)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "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.", to: "It's not just a TV show, it's a religion. I know all about warp field dynamics and the principles behind the transporter. I have memorized the TECH manual. I speak Klingon. I go to cons with Vulcan ears on. I have no life."

GEEK BABYLON 5 CODE [5+]

Babylon 5 certainly presents a fresh perspective in the Sci-Fi universe. I watch it weekly.

GEEK X FILES CODE [X(+)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Ho hum. Just another Fox show.", to: "I've Converted my family and watch the show when I remember. It's really kinda fun."

GEEK ROLE-PLAYING CODE [R*]

I thought life WAS role-playing?

GEEK TELEVISION CODE [!tv(+)]

I do not own a television. But if I did participate in this category, I would characterize myself as follows: "My tendencies on this issue range from: "I watch only the shows that are actually worthwhile, such as those found on PBS.", to: "I watch some tv every day.""

GEEK BOOKS CODE [b+++]

I consume a few books a week as part of a staple diet.

GEEK DILBERT CODE [DI+++$]

I am a Dilbert prototype. Getting paid for it!

GEEK DOOM CODE [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.

THE GEEK CODE [G+]

I was once G++ (or higher), but the new versions are getting too long and too complicated.

GEEK EDUCATION CODE [e*]

I learned everything there is to know about life from the "Hitchhiker's Trilogy".

GEEK HOUSING CODE [h---]

Married, (persons living romantically with someone might as well label themselves h---, you're as good as there already.)

GEEK RELATIONSHIPS CODE [r++]

I've dated my current S.O. for a long time.

GEEK SEX CODE [y+++]

Male. I'm married, so I can get it (theoretically) whenever I want.
