Geek of Computer Science, Geek of Engineering, Geek of Math, Geek of Music, Geek of Philosophy, Geek of Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, etc.), Geek of Social Science (Psychology, Sociology, etc.).

GEEK DRESS CODE [d-(--)@>---]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I'm usually in jeans and a t-shirt.", to: "My t-shirts go a step further and have a trendy political message on them." But that varies... But someday I'd like to say: "Punk dresser, including, but not limited to, torn jeans and shirts, body piercings, and prominent tattoos."

GEEK SHAPE CODE [s:>---]

I'm an average geek. But someday I'd like to say: "My bones are poking through my skin."

GEEK AGE CODE [a--]

My age is 20-24.

GEEK COMPUTERS CODE [C+++>++++]

You mean there is life outside of Internet? You're shittin' me! I haven't dragged myself to class in weeks. But someday I'd like to say: "I'll be first in line to get the new cybernetic interface installed into my skull."

GEEK UNIX CODE [ULS++]

I use GNU/Linux and SunOS/Solaris. 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.

GEEK PERL CODE [P]

I know Perl exists, but that's all.

GEEK GNU/LINUX CODE [L++>++++]

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. 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 just a fancy word processor", to: "Emacs is too big and bloated for my tastes" But someday I'd like to say: "I know and use elisp regularly!"

GEEK WORLD WIDE WEB CODE [W+++]

I am a WebMaster. Don't even think about trying to view my homepage without the latest version of Netscape. When I'm not on my normal net connection, I surf the web using my Newton and a cellular modem.

GEEK USENET CODE [N++]

I read all the news in a select handful of groups.

GEEK USENET ORACLE CODE [!o]

I refuse to categorize myself on Usenet Oracle.

GEEK KIBO CODE [K]

I know who Kibo is.

GEEK MICROSOFT WINDOWS CODE [w---]

Windows has set back the computing industry by at least 10 years. Bill Gates should be drawn, quartered, hung, shot, poisoned, disembowelled, and then REALLY hurt.

GEEK OS/2 CODE [!O]

I refuse to categorize myself on OS/2.

GEEK MACINTOSH CODE [!M]

I refuse to categorize myself on Macintosh.

GEEK VMS CODE [!V]

I refuse to categorize myself on VMS.

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++]

Keep the government off the backs of businesses. Deregulate as much as possible.

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. But someday I'd like to say: "I am T.C. May"

GEEK PGP CODE [PGP+]

"Finger me for my public key".

GEEK STAR TREK CODE [t+]

It's a damn fine TV show and is one of the only things good on television any more.

GEEK BABYLON 5 CODE [5]

I've seen it, I am pretty indifferent to it.

GEEK X FILES CODE [X++]

This is one of the better shows I've seen. I wish I'd taped everything from the start at SP, because I'm wearing out my EP tapes. I'll periodically debate online. I've Converted at least 5 people. I've gotten a YAXA.

GEEK ROLE-PLAYING CODE [R+++]

I've written and published my own gaming materials.

GEEK TELEVISION CODE [tv-]

I watch tv for the news and 'special programming.'

GEEK BOOKS CODE [b+(++)>++++]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I enjoy reading, but don't get the time very often.", to: "I find the time to get through at least one new book a month." But someday I'd like to say: "I read a book a day. I have library cards in three states. I have discount cards from every major bookstore. I've ordered books from another country to get my Favorite Author Fix."

GEEK DILBERT CODE [DI++]

I work with people that act a lot like Dilbert and his boss.

GEEK DOOM CODE [D+]

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

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?]

Education? I don't even know what that is...

GEEK HOUSING CODE [h-->---]

Living with one or more people who know nothing about being a Geek and refuse to watch Babylon 5. But someday I'd like to say: "Married, (persons living romantically with someone might as well label themselves h---, you're as good as there already.)"

GEEK RELATIONSHIPS CODE [r>+++]

I date periodically. But someday I'd like to say: "Found someone, dated, and am now married."

GEEK SEX CODE [x?]

Female. It's none of your business what my sex life is like.
