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 an average geek.

Age [a--]

20-24.

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.

UNIX [UC++++]

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 put start a new landfill on your front lawn or your quota is reduced to 4K. I use SCO Unix.

Perl [P++++]

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 Perl has superseded all other programming languages.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.

Linux [L+++]

I use Linux exclusively on my system. I monitor comp.os.linux.* and even answer questions sometimes.

Emacs [E---]

Emacs sucks! vi forever!!!

World-Wide Web [W++]

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

USENET News [N*]

All I do is read news.

USENET Oracle [o]

I've submitted a question, but it has never been incarnated.

Kibo [K-]

I don't know who Kibo is.

Microsoft Windows [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.

OS/2 [O--]

I can't even get the thing to install!

Macintosh [M-]

Macs suck. All real geeks have a character prompt.

VMS [V-]

Unix is much better than VMS for my computing needs.

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 have an interest and concern in privacy issues, but in reality I am not really all that active or vocal.

PGP [PGP-]

I don't have anything to hide.

Entertainment

Star Trek [t]

It's just another TV show.

Babylon 5 [5?]

I don't know what's that.

X-Files [X?]

I don't know what's that.

Role Playing [R?]

I don't know what's that.

Television [tv++]

I just leave the tv on, to make sure I don't miss anything.

Books [b+]

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

Dilbert [DI]

I read Dilbert infrequently, rarely understanding it.

DOOM! [D?]

I don't know what's that.

The Geek Code [G+]

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

Lifestyle

Education [e+]

Got an Associates 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(+++)>+]

Ranging from "Male. Sex? What's that? I've had no sexual experiences" to "I'm married, so I can get it (theoretically) whenever I want."

But someday I would like to say: "I've had real, live sex."


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.
