UNIX [UL++]

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 Linux.

Perl [P+]

I know of Perl. I like Perl. I just haven't learned much Perl, but it is on my agenda.

World-Wide Web [W++(+++)]

Ranging from "I have a homepage. I surf daily. My homepage is advertised in my .signature" to "I am a WebMaster .
