Geek of Information Technology, Geek of Literature, Geek of Philosophy, Geek of Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, etc.), Geek of Technical Writing, Geek of Other.

GEEK DRESS CODE [d++$(+)>-]

My tendencies on this issue range from: “I tend to wear conservative dress such as a business suit or worse, a tie. Getting paid for it!”, to: “Good leisure-wear. Slacks, button-shirt, etc. No jeans, tennis shoes, or t-shirts.” But someday I’d like to say: “I’m usually in jeans and a t-shirt.”

GEEK SHAPE CODE [s:]

I’m an average geek.

GEEK AGE CODE [a>+++]

My age is 30-39. But someday I’d like to say: “My age is 60 and up.”

GEEK COMPUTERS CODE [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. But that varies…

GEEK GNU/LINUX CODE [L++]

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

GEEK PERL CODE [P]

I know Perl exists, but that’s all.

GEEK WORLD WIDE WEB CODE [W++]

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

GEEK MICROSOFT WINDOWS CODE [!w–]

I refuse to categorize myself on MicroSoft Windows. But if I did participate in this category, I would characterize myself as follows: “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.”

GEEK EMACS CODE [!E]

I refuse to categorize myself on Emacs.

GEEK POLITICS & SOCIAL ISSUES CODE [!PS]

I refuse to categorize myself on Politics & Social Issues.

GEEK POLITICS & ECONOMIC ISSUES CODE [PE++]

Keep the government off the backs of businesses. Deregulate as much as possible.

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.

GEEK PGP CODE [PGP->+]

I don’t have anything to hide. But someday I’d like to say: “Finger me for my public key.”

GEEK STAR TREK CODE [t]

It’s just another TV show.

GEEK BABYLON 5 CODE [5?]

Babylon 5? I don’t even know what that is…

GEEK X FILES CODE [X]

Ho hum. Just another Fox show.

GEEK ROLE-PLAYING CODE [R>*]

Role-Playing? That’s just something to do to kill a Saturday afternoon. But someday I’d like to say: “I thought life WAS role- playing?”

GEEK TELEVISION CODE [tv+@]

I watch some tv every day. But that varies…

GEEK BOOKS CODE [b++>+++]

I find the time to get through at least one new book a month. But someday I’d like to say: “I consume a few books a week as part of a staple diet.”

GEEK DILBERT CODE [DI++]

I work with people that act a lot like Dilbert and his boss.

GEEK DOOM CODE [D?]

Doom? I don’t even know what that is…

THE GEEK CODE [G]

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

GEEK EDUCATION CODE [e+++]

Got a Masters degree.

GEEK HOUSING CODE [h—-()]

My tendencies on this issue range from: “Married with children – Al Bundy can sympathize.”, to: “Friends come over to visit every once in a while to talk about Geek things. There is a place for them to sit.”

GEEK RELATIONSHIPS CODE [r+++]

Found someone, dated, and am now married.

GEEK SEX CODE [y++]

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

Martial Arts weapons/training [!ma]

I’ve never tried martial arts, and probably never will.

Knives and other bladed weapons [k++]

I own a couple of really nice knives and a sword or two.

Firearms [F+>++?3]

I own a gun, and shoot it a couple of times a year. But someday I’d like to say: “I collect guns, shoot them regularly, and load my own ammo.” My shooting skills are limited to “I usually keep everything in the black.”

High Explosives [X–(-)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: “I burned my fingers with a firecracker once.” to: “I buy firecrackers for a National Holiday.”
