This is what your Geek Code spells (bookmarkable link):
Geek of Computer Science.
Geek of Information Technology.
Ranging from "I'm usually in jeans and a t-shirt" to "I dress a lot like those found in catalog ads. Bland, boring, without life or meaning."
But someday I would like to say: "Good leisure-wear. Slacks, button-shirt, etc. No jeans, tennis shoes, or t-shirts."
I'm a little taller, I'm a linebacker candidate.
30-39.
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.
But someday I would like to say: "I'll be first in line to get the new cybernetic interface installed into my skull."
I've get the entire admin ticked off at me because I am always using all of the CPU time and trying to run programs that I don't have access to. I'm going to try cracking /etc/passwd next week, just don't tell anyone. I use BSD (use this unless your BSDish system is mentioned below), Linux, SCO Unix.
But someday I would like to say: "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! ... and I am getting paid for it."
I know of Perl. I like Perl. I just haven't learned much Perl, but it is on my agenda.
I use Linux exclusively on my system. I monitor comp.os.linux.* and even answer questions sometimes.
Emacs sucks! vi forever!!!
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. ... and I am getting paid for it.
I read all the news in a select handful of groups.
I don't know what's that.
Unknown value --?
Ranging from "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" to "Ok, so I use MS Windows, I don't have to like it."
Tried it, didn't like it.
I use a Mac, but I'm pretty indifferent about it.
I don't know what's that.
Mostly "I really don't have an opinion; nobody's messing with my freedoms right now," but it varies.
Mostly "Distrust both government and business," but it varies.
I'm pretty indifferent on the whole issue.
I have the most recent version and use it regularly.
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.
I am a True Worshipper of the Church of Joe who lives eats breathes and thinks Babylon 5, and has Evil thoughts about stealing Joe's videotape archives just to see episodes earlier. I am planning to break into the bank and steal the triple-encoded synopsis of the 5-year arc.
But someday I would like to say: "I am J. Michael Straczynski."
It's ok if you like paranoia and conspiracy stories, but, let's face it, it's crap.
Role-Playing? That's just something to do to kill a Saturday afternoon.
I watch tv for the news and 'special programming.'.
I consume a few books a week as part of a staple diet.
But someday I would like to say: "I read a book a day. I have library cards in three states. I have discount cards from every major bookstore. I've ordered books from another country to get my Favorite Author Fix."
I am a Dilbert prototype.
I've played the game and I'm pretty indifferent.
I have memorized the entire geek code, and can decode others' codes in my head. I know by heart where to find the current version of the code on the net.
Got a Masters degree.
But someday I would like to say: "Managed to get my Ph.D."
Married with children - Al Bundy can sympathize.
Found someone, dated, and am now married.
Male. I'm married, so I can get it (theoretically) whenever I want.
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.
This decoder has been written by Anicka (Geek Code) and Martin (Geek Code) on the Christmas of 2006. If you have any bug reports or ideas on what could be improved, please tell us. You can also download the source code. There is also a Furry Code Decoder here.
