Management, Geek of Music, Geek of Science (Physics, Chemistry,

etc.).
GEEK DRESS CODE [d--(-)@?>---]
My tendencies on this issue range from: "My t-shirts go a step
further and have a trendy political message on them.", to: "I'm
usually in jeans and a t-shirt." But that varies... I have no idea
what I am wearing right now, let alone what I wore yesterday. But
someday I'd like to say: "Punk dresser, including, but not limited
to, torn jeans and shirts, body piercings, and prominent tattoos."
GEEK AGE CODE [a--]
My age is 20-24.
GEEK COMPUTERS CODE [C+++(++)$@>]
My tendencies on this issue range from: "You mean there is life
outside of Internet? You're shittin' me! I haven't dragged myself
to class in weeks.", to: "Computers are a large part of my
existence. When I get up in the morning, the first thing I do is
log myself in. I play games or mud on weekends, but still manage to
stay off of academic probation." Getting paid for it! But that
varies... But someday I'd like to say: "Computers are a tool,
nothing more. I use it when it serves my purpose."
GEEK UNIX CODE [ULC++$@]
I use GNU/Linux and SCO Unix. 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. Getting paid for it!
But that varies...
GEEK PERL CODE [P++$>++++]
Perl is a powerful programming tool. I don't write shell scripts
anymore because I write them in Perl. Getting paid for it! But
someday I'd like to say: "I don't write Perl, I speak it. Perl has
superseded all other programming languages. I firmly believe that
all programs can be reduced to a Perl one-liner. I use Perl to
achieve U+++ status."
GEEK GNU/LINUX CODE [L++(+++)$>++++]
My tendencies on this issue range from: "I use GNU/Linux ALMOST
exclusively on my system. I've given up trying to achieve
GNU/Linux.God status, but welcome the OS as a replacement for DOS.
I only boot to DOS to play games.", to: "I use GNU/Linux
exclusively on my system. I monitor comp.os.linux.* and even answer
questions sometimes." Getting paid for it! But someday I'd like to
say: "I am a GNU/Linux wizard. I munch C code for breakfast and
have enough room left over for a kernel debugging. I have so many
patches installed that I lost track about ten versions ago.
GNU/Linux newbies consider me a net.god."
GEEK EMACS CODE [E+(++)>+++]
My tendencies on this issue range from: "Emacs is great! I read my
mail and news with it!", to: "I know and use elisp regularly!" But
someday I'd like to say: "Emacs is my login shell!! M-x doctor is
my psychologist! I use emacs to control my TV and toaster oven! All
you vi people don't know what you're missing! I read
alt.relgion.emacs, alt.sex.emacs, and comp.os.emacs."
GEEK WORLD WIDE WEB CODE [!W++@]
I refuse to categorize myself on World Wide Web. But if I did
participate in this category, I would characterize myself as
follows: "I have a homepage. I surf daily. My homepage is
advertised in my .signature. But that varies..."
GEEK USENET CODE [N++(+++)]
My tendencies on this issue range from: "I read all the news in a
select handful of groups.", to: "I read so many news groups that
the next batch of news comes in before I finish reading the last
batch, and I have to read for about 2 hours straight before I'm
caught up on the morning's news. Then there's the afternoon..."
GEEK USENET ORACLE CODE [o]
I've submitted a question, but it has never been incarnated.
GEEK KIBO CODE [K-]
I don't know who Kibo is.
GEEK MICROSOFT WINDOWS CODE [w--()]
My tendencies on this issue range from: "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.", to: "Ok, so I use MS Windows, I don't have to like it."
GEEK OS/2 CODE [!O--]
I refuse to categorize myself on OS/2. But if I did participate in
this category, I would characterize myself as follows: "I can't
even get the thing to install!"
GEEK MACINTOSH CODE [M-()@]
My tendencies on this issue range from: "Macs suck. All real geeks
have a character prompt.", to: "I use a Mac, but I'm pretty
indifferent about it." But that varies...
GEEK VMS CODE [!V?]
I refuse to categorize myself on VMS. VMS? I don't even know what
that is...
GEEK POLITICS & SOCIAL ISSUES CODE [PS]
I really don't have an opinion; nobody's messing with my freedoms
right now.
GEEK POLITICS & ECONOMIC ISSUES CODE [PE++]
Keep the government off the backs of businesses. Deregulate as much
as possible.
GEEK CYPHERPUNKS CODE [Y--(---)]
My tendencies on this issue range from: "Get a life. The only
people that need this kind of protection are people with something
to hide. I think cypherpunks are just a little paranoid.", to: "I
am L. Detweiler."
GEEK PGP CODE [!PGP-]
I refuse to categorize myself on PGP. But if I did participate in
this category, I would characterize myself as follows: "I don't
have anything to hide."
GEEK STAR TREK CODE [t+@]
It's a damn fine TV show and is one of the only things good on
television any more. But that varies...
GEEK BABYLON 5 CODE [!5>$]
I refuse to categorize myself on Babylon 5. But if I did
participate in this category, I would characterize myself as
follows: "I've seen it, I am pretty indifferent to it. But someday
I'd like to say: "Getting paid for it!""
GEEK X FILES CODE [X@]
Ho hum. Just another Fox show. But that varies...
GEEK ROLE-PLAYING CODE [!R>+]
I refuse to categorize myself on Role-Playing. But if I did
participate in this category, I would characterize myself as
follows: "Role-Playing? That's just something to do to kill a
Saturday afternoon. But someday I'd like to say: "I've got my
weekly sessions set up and a character that I know better than I
know myself.""
GEEK TELEVISION CODE [tv--(-)]
My tendencies on this issue range from: "I turn my tv on during
natural disasters.", to: "I watch tv for the news and 'special
programming.'"

time this Geek Code is."

Got a Baccalaureate degree.
GEEK HOUSING CODE [h--(+)]
My tendencies on this issue range from: "Living with one or more
people who know nothing about being a Geek and refuse to watch
Babylon 5.", to: "Living alone, get out once a week to buy food, no
more than once a month to do laundry. All surfaces covered."
