The Geek Code Decoder

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

Type of Geek [GCS]

Geek of Computer Science.

Appearance

Dress [d-]

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

Shape [s:+]

I'm of average height, I'm rounder than most.

Age [a+]

40-49.

Computers

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.

But someday I would like to get paid for it.

UNIX [UL]

I have a Unix account to do my stuff in. I use Linux.

Perl [P]

I know Perl exists, but that's all.

Linux [L+]

I've managed to get Linux installed and even used it a few times. It seems like it is just another OS.

Emacs [E---]

Emacs sucks! vi forever!!!

World-Wide Web [W++@]

Mostly "I have a homepage. I surf daily. My homepage is advertised in my .signature," but it varies.

USENET News [N]

Usenet News? Sure, I read that once.

USENET Oracle [!o]

I refuse to have anything with that!

Kibo [K]

I know who Kibo is.

Microsoft Windows [w+>$]

I have installed my own custom sounds, wallpaper, and screen savers so my PC walks and talks like a fun house. Oh yeah, I have a hundred TrueType(tm) fonts that I've installed but never used. I never lose Minesweeper and Solitaire.

But someday I would like to get paid for it.

OS/2 [O----]

I am Bill Gates of Borg. OS/2 is irrelevant.

Macintosh [M-]

Macs suck. All real geeks have a character prompt.

VMS [!V]

I refuse to have anything with that!

Politics

Political and Social Issues [!PS]

I refuse to have anything with that!

Politics and Economic Issues [!PE]

I refuse to have anything with that!

Cypherpunks [Y]

I'm pretty indifferent on the whole issue.

PGP [PGP-]

I don't have anything to hide.

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-]

This show is sub-par. The acting is wooden, the special effects are obviously poor quality. In general, it seems like a very cheap Star Trek ripoff.

X-Files [!X]

I refuse to have anything with that!

Role Playing [!R]

I refuse to have anything with that!

Television [tv+]

I watch some tv every day.

Books [b]

I read the newspaper and the occasional book.

Dilbert [DI]

I read Dilbert infrequently, rarely understanding it.

DOOM! [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 know what the geek code is and even did up this code.

Lifestyle

Education [e++]

Got a Bachelors degree.

Housing [h]

Friends come over to visit every once in a while to talk about Geek things. There is a place for them to sit.

Relationships [!r]

I've never had a relationship.

Sex [y]

Male. I've had sex. Oh! You mean with someone else? Then no.


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.
