============================================================================ ================ UNGEEK 3.1 -- Geek Code v3.1 Interpreter ================ ============================================================================ ---------------------------- GEEK TYPE CODE [GCS] -------------------------- Geek of Computer Science. -------------------------- GEEK DRESS CODE [d-(?)] ------------------------- My tendencies on this issue range from: "I'm usually in jeans and a t-shirt.", to: "I have no idea what I am wearing right now, let alone what I wore yesterday." ---------------------------- GEEK SHAPE CODE [s:] -------------------------- I'm an average geek. ----------------------------- GEEK AGE CODE [a-] --------------------------- My age is 25-29. ---------------------- GEEK COMPUTERS CODE [C++(++++)] --------------------- My tendencies on this issue range from: "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.", to: "I'll be first in line to get the new cybernetic interface installed into my skull." ------------------------ GEEK UNIX CODE [UBLHIS++++$] ---------------------- I use BSD, Linux, HPUX, IRIX and SunOS/Solaris. I am the sysadmin. If you try and crack my machine don't be surprised if the municipal works department gets an "accidental" computer-generated order to put start a new landfill on your front lawn or your quota is reduced to 4K. Getting paid for it! --------------------------- GEEK PERL CODE [P+++$] ------------------------- Perl is a very powerful programming tool. Not only do I no longer write shell scripts, I also no longer use awk or sed. I use Perl for all programs of less than a thousand lines. Getting paid for it! --------------------------- GEEK LINUX CODE [L++$] ------------------------- I use Linux ALMOST exclusively on my system. I've given up trying to achieve Linux.God status, but welcome the OS as a replacement for DOS. I only boot to DOS to play games. Getting paid for it! ------------------------- GEEK EMACS CODE [E++(-)$] ------------------------ My tendencies on this issue range from: "I know and use elisp regularly!", to: "Emacs is too big and bloated for my tastes" Getting paid for it! --------------------- GEEK WORLD WIDE WEB CODE [W++(-)] -------------------- My tendencies on this issue range from: "I have a homepage. I surf daily. My homepage is advertised in my .signature.", to: "The web is really a pain. Life was so much easier when you could transfer information by simple ASCII. Now everyone won't even consider your ideas unless you spiff them up with bandwidth-consuming pictures and pointless information links." ------------------------- GEEK USENET CODE [N+++@$] ------------------------ 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... But that varies... Getting paid for it! -------------------- GEEK MICROSOFT WINDOWS CODE [w(--)] ------------------- My tendencies on this issue range from: "Ok, so I use MS Windows, I don't have to like it.", to: "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." ------------------------ GEEK MACINTOSH CODE [M-(--)] ---------------------- My tendencies on this issue range from: "Macs suck. All real geeks have a character prompt.", to: "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." ---------------------------- GEEK VMS CODE [V(-)] -------------------------- My tendencies on this issue range from: "I've used VMS.", to: "Unix is much better than VMS for my computing needs." ------------------ GEEK POLITICS & SOCIAL ISSUES CODE [PS+] ---------------- My whole concept of liberalism is that nobody has the right to tell anybody else what to do, on either side of the political fence. If you don't like it, turn the bloody channel. --------------- GEEK POLITICS & ECONOMIC ISSUES CODE [PE++()] -------------- My tendencies on this issue range from: "Keep the government off the backs of businesses. Deregulate as much as possible.", to: "Distrust both government and business." ------------------------- GEEK CYPHERPUNKS CODE [Y+] ----------------------- I have an interest and concern in privacy issues, but in reality I am not really all that active or vocal. ---------------------------- GEEK PGP CODE [PGP+] -------------------------- "Finger me for my public key". ------------------------ GEEK STAR TREK CODE [t+(--)] ---------------------- My tendencies on this issue range from: "It's a damn fine TV show and is one of the only things good on television any more.", to: "Star Trek is just another Space Opera. William Shatner isn't an actor, he's a poser! And what's with this Jean-Luc Picard? A Frenchman with a British accent? Come on. I'd only watch this show if my remote control broke. Isn't Voyager just a rehash of Lost in Space? Has Sisko even breathed in the last two seasons?" ------------------------- GEEK BABYLON 5 CODE [5++] ------------------------ Finally a show that shows what a real future would look like. None of this Picardian "Let's talk about it and be friends" crap. And what's this? We finally get to see a bathroom! Over on that Enterprise, they've been holding it for over sev en years! --------------------------- GEEK X FILES CODE [X-] ------------------------- It's ok if you like paranoia and conspiracy stories, but, let's face it, it's crap. ------------------------- GEEK ROLE-PLAYING CODE [R] ----------------------- Role-Playing? That's just something to do to kill a Saturday afternoon. ------------------------ GEEK TELEVISION CODE [tv(+)] ---------------------- My tendencies on this issue range from: "I watch only the shows that are actually worthwhile, such as those found on PBS.", to: "I watch some tv every day." ------------------------- GEEK BOOKS CODE [b++(+++)] ----------------------- My tendencies on this issue range from: "I find the time to get through at least one new book a month.", to: "I consume a few books a week as part of a staple diet." ------------------------- GEEK DILBERT CODE [DI+++] ------------------------ I am a Dilbert prototype -------------------------- GEEK DOOM CODE [D+(---)] ------------------------ My tendencies on this issue range from: "It's a fun, action game that is a nice diversion on a lazy afternoon.", to: "To hell with Doom, I miss Zork." ----------------------------- THE GEEK CODE [G+] --------------------------- I was once G++ (or higher), but the new versions are getting too long and too complicated. ------------------------ GEEK EDUCATION CODE [e++(*)] ---------------------- My tendencies on this issue range from: "Got a Baccalaureate degree.", to: "I learned everything there is to know about life from the "Hitchhiker's Trilogy"." --------------------------- GEEK HOUSING CODE [h] -------------------------- Friends come over to visit every once in a while to talk about Geek things. There is a place for them to sit. ----------------------- GEEK RELATIONSHIPS CODE [r++] ---------------------- I've dated my current S.O. for a long time. ----------------------------- GEEK SEX CODE [y?] --------------------------- Male. It's none of your business what my sex life is like. ============================================================================ -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS d-(?) s: a- C++(++++) UBLHIS++++$ P+++$ L++$ E++(-)$ W++(-) N+++@$ w(--) M-(--) V(-) PS+ PE++() Y+ PGP+ t+(--) 5++ X- R tv(+) b++(+++) DI+++ D+(---) G+ e++(*) h r++ y? ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------
