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 a basketball candidate, I'm rounder than most.

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.

UNIX [UL+++>++]

I don't need to crack /etc/passwd because I just modified su so that it doesn't prompt me. The admin staff doesn't even know I'm here. If you don't understand what I just said, this category does NOT apply to you! I use Linux.

But someday I would like to say: "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."

Perl [P]

I know Perl exists, but that's all.

Linux [L+++]

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

Emacs [E--]

Emacs is just a fancy word processor.

World-Wide Web [W++]

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

USENET News [N-]

News is a waste of my time and I avoid it completely.

USENET Oracle [o?]

I don't know what's that.

Kibo [K-]

I don't know who Kibo is.

Microsoft Windows [w--]

MS Windows is a joke operating system. Hell, it's not even an operating system. NT is Not Tough enough for me either. 95 is how may times it will crash an hour.

OS/2 [O?]

I don't know what's that.

Macintosh [M--]

Macs do more than suck. They make a user stupid by allowing them to use the system without knowing what they are doing. Mac weenies have lower IQs than the fuzz in my navel.

VMS [V?]

I don't know what's that.

Politics

Political and Social Issues [PS+++]

Legalize drugs! Abolish the government. `Fuck the draft!'.

Politics and Economic Issues [PE--]

Capitalism is evil! Government should provide the services we really need. Nobody should be rich.

Cypherpunks [Y+>++]

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

But someday I would like to say: "I am on the cypherpunks mailing list and active around Usenet. I never miss an opportunity to talk about the evils of Clipper and ITAR and the NSA. Orwell's 1984 is more than a story, it is a warning to our's and future generations. I'm a member of the EFF."

PGP [PGP+]

`Finger me for my public key'.

Entertainment

Star Trek [t?]

I don't know what's that.

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 do not own a television.

Books [b+]

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

Dilbert [DI?]

I don't know what's that.

DOOM! [D+]

It's a fun, action game that is a nice diversion on a lazy afternoon.

The Geek Code [G]

I know what the geek code is and even did up this code.

Lifestyle

Education [e]

Finished High School.

Housing [h!>--]

I am stuck living with my parents!

But someday I would like to say: "Living with one or more people who know nothing about being a Geek and refuse to watch Babylon 5."

Relationships [r++]

I've dated my current S.O. for a long time.

Sex [z]

Gender undisclosed. 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.
