The Geek Code Decoder

This is what your Geek Code spells (bookmarkable link):

Type of Geek [GAT]

Geek of All Trades.

Appearance

Dress [d-]

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

Shape [s++:+]

I'm a basketball candidate, I'm rounder than most.

Age [a]

30-39.

Computers

Computers [C+++$]

You mean there is life outside of Internet? You're shittin' me! I haven't dragged myself to class in weeks. ... and I am getting paid for it.

UNIX [ULHAS+++$]

I don't need to crack /etc/passwd because I just modified su so that it doesn't prompt me. The admin staff doesn't even know I'm here. If you don't understand what I just said, this category does NOT apply to you! I use Linux, HPUX, AIX, Sun OS/Solaris, and I am getting paid for it.

Perl [P]

I know Perl exists, but that's all.

Linux [L+++$]

I use Linux exclusively on my system. I monitor comp.os.linux.* and even answer questions sometimes. ... and I am getting paid for it.

Emacs [E--->$]

Emacs sucks! vi forever!!!

But someday I would like to get paid for it.

World-Wide 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.

USENET News [N?]

I don't know what's that.

USENET Oracle [o?]

I don't know what's that.

Kibo [K?]

I don't know what's that.

Microsoft Windows [w-->---]

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.

But someday I would like to say: "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 don't know what's that.

Macintosh [M->--]

Macs suck. All real geeks have a character prompt.

But someday I would like to say: "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 don't know what's that.

Politics

Political and Social Issues [PS@]

Mostly "I really don't have an opinion; nobody's messing with my freedoms right now," but it varies.

Politics and Economic Issues [PE->@]

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

But someday I would like to say: "Mostly "Distrust both government and business," but it varies."

Cypherpunks [Y]

I'm pretty indifferent on the whole issue.

PGP [PGP]

I've used it, but stopped long ago.

Entertainment

Star Trek [t+]

It's a damn fine TV show and is one of the only things good on television any more.

Babylon 5 [5?]

I don't know what's that.

X-Files [X+]

I've Converted my family and watch the show when I remember. It's really kinda fun.

Role Playing [R+]

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

Television [tv--]

I turn my tv on during natural disasters.

Books [b+]

I enjoy reading, but don't get the time very often.

Dilbert [DI+]

I read Dilbert daily, often understanding it.

DOOM! [D+]

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

The Geek Code [G]

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

Lifestyle

Education [e+]

Got an Associates degree.

Housing [h!]

I am stuck living with my parents!

Relationships [r--]

People just aren't interested in dating me.

Sex [y++*>**]

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

But someday I would like to say: "I've been known to make perverts look like angels."


The Code of the Geeks is a simple and compact way how to tell the others about your geeky personality. The Geek Code consists of a series of letters, numbers and symbols, each describing you in some category. Sometimes, it's a little cryptic to the uninitiated, and here comes our little tool to help you.
