Computers

Computers [C++>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 say: "Unknown value C++++."

UNIX

Nothing known.

Perl [P++]

Perl is a powerful programming tool. I don't write shell scripts anymore because I write them in Perl.

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

But someday I would like to say: "Unknown value L++++."

Emacs [E---]

Emacs sucks! vi forever!!!

I have the most recent version and use it regularly.

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]

Ho hum. Just another Fox show.

Role-Playing? That's just something to do to kill a Saturday afternoon.

I refuse to have anything with that!

DOOM! [D]

I've played the game and I'm pretty indifferent.

The Geek Code [G+>++]

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

But someday I would like to say: "I know what each letter means, but sometimes have to look up the specifics."

Got a Masters degree.

Married with children - Al Bundy can sympathize.

Relationships [r+++]

Found someone, dated, and am now married.

Sometimes, it's a little cryptic to the uninitiated, and here comes our little tool to help you.
