-
I'm between 30 and 39.
- 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.
-
I'm making money at this.
- Unix: UA+++$
-
AIX:
-
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'm making money at this.
- Perl: P++
-
Perl is a powerful programming tool. I don't write shell
scripts anymore because I write them in Perl.
- Linux: L+

I've managed to get Linux installed and even used it a few

bloody channel.

-
Distrust both government and business.
- Cypherpunks: Y++
-
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's
a warning to ours and future generations. I'm a member of the
EFF.
- PGP: PGP+
-
"Finger me for my public key"
- Trek: t++(-)
- I range from ...
-
It's the best show around. I have all the episodes and the movies
on tape and can quote entire scenes verbatim. I've built a few
of the model kits too. But you'll never catch me at one of those
conventions. Those people are kooks.
- ... to ...
-
Maybe it's just me, but I have no idea what the big deal with
Star Trek is. Perhaps I'm missing something but I just think
it is bad drama.

I am a True Worshipper of the Church of Joe who lives, eats,

I am planning to break into the bank and steal the triple-
encoded synopsis of the 5-year arc.
