GCS/CC/M/P/SS
Geek of Computer Science/Communications/Math/Philosophy/Social Science
d-(--)(+++)
I'm usually in jeans and a t-shirt.
(My t-shirts go a step further and have a trendy political
message on them.)
(I tend to wear conservative dress such as a business suit or worse,
a tie.)
s
I'm an average sized geek.
a35
I'm 35 years of age.
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.
(Anything more complicated than my calculator and I'm screwed.)
Ul
I have a unix (linux) account and use it to do my stuff in.
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.
( Perl combines the power of sh, the clarity of sed, and the
performance of awk with the simplicity of C. It should be
banned.)
J++++
I don't write Java, I speak it. Java has superseded all
other programming languages.
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.
E+
Emacs is great! I read my mail and news with it!
W++
I have a homepage. I surf daily. My homepage is
advertised in my .signature.
N
Usenet News? Sure, I read that once
O?
Usenet Oracle?
K?
Kibo
W
Ok, so I use MS Windows, I don't have to like it.
O?
OS/2?
M
I use a Mac, but I'm pretty indifferent about it.
V?
VMS?
PS++
I give to liberal causes. I march for gay rights. I'm a
card carrying member of the ACLU. Keep abortion safe and
legal.
PE
Distrust both government and business.
Y+
I have an interest and concern in privacy issues, but in
reality I am not really all that active or vocal.
PGP-
I don't have anything to hide.
t+
It's [Star Trek's] a damn fine TV show and is one of the only things
good on television any more.
5-
This show is sub-par. The acting is wooden, the special
effects are obviously poor quality. In general, it seems
like a very cheap Star Trek ripoff.
X
Ho hum. Just another Fox show.
R+++
I've written and published my own [role playing] gaming materials.
!tv
I do not own a television.
b+++
I consume a few books a week as part of a staple diet.
DI++
I work with people that act a lot like Dilbert and his boss.
D
I've played the game and I'm pretty indifferent.
G
I know what the geek code is and even did up this code.
e++++
Managed to get my Ph.D.
h---
Married, (persons living romantically with someone might as
well label themselves h---, you're as good as there already.)
r+++
Found someone, dated, and am now married.
y+++
A male who has had sex.
I'm married, so I can get it (theoretically) whenever I want.
