WARNING: Duplicate category: ^G

Type of Geek [G>$]

Unknown value .

But someday I would like to get paid for it.

Appearance

Dress [d?]

I have no idea what I am wearing right now, let alone what I wore yesterday.

Shape [s-:]

I look up to most people, I'm of average width.

Age [a---]

15-19.

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 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 Linux.

But someday I would like to get paid for it.

Perl [!P>$]

Our paranoid admin won't let us install Perl! Says it's a `hacking tool'.

But someday I would like to get paid for it.

Linux [L++>$]

I use Linux ALMOST exclusively on my system. I've given up trying to achieve Linux.God status, but welcome the OS as a replacement for DOS. I only boot to DOS to play games.

But someday I would like to get paid for it.

Emacs [E---@]

Mostly "Emacs sucks! vi forever!!!", but it varies.

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