Geek: GCS
I'm a geek of computer science.
Dress: d-
I'm usually in jeans and a t-shirt.
Shape: s+:
I'm a little taller than most.
I'm as round as an average geek.
Age: a
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 times. It seems like it is just another OS.
Emacs: E++
I know and use elisp regularly!
Web: W++
I have a homepage. I surf daily. My homepage is advertised in my .signature.
Usenet: N
Usenet News? Sure, I read that once.
Usenet Oracle: !o
I don't consult the Usenet Oracle.
Kibo: K
I know who Kibo is.
Windows: 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.
OS/2: O
I finally managed to get OS/2 installed but wasn't too terribly impressed.
Macintosh: M+
A mac has it's uses and I use it quite often.
VMS: !V
I don't use VMS.
Politics-Social: 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.
Politics-Economic: PE
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.
Babylon 5: 5+++
I am a True Worshipper of the Church of Joe who lives, eats, breathes, and thinks Babylon 5, and has Evil thoughts about stealing Joe's videotape archives just to see episodes earlier. I am planning to break into the bank and steal the triple- encoded synopsis of the 5-year arc.
X-Files: X+(-)
    I range from ...
I've Converted my family and watch the show when I remember. It's really kinda fun.

It's ok if you like paranoia and conspiracy stories, but, let's face it, it's crap.
Roleplaying: R-
Gosh, what an utter waste of time.
Television: tv+
I watch some tv every day.
Dilbert: DI++
I work with people that act a lot like Dilbert and his boss.
DOOM!: D+
It's a fun, action game that is a nice diversion on a lazy afternoon.
Geek Code: G++
I know what each letter means, but sometimes have to look up the specifics.

Got a masters degree
Housing: h
Friends come over to visit every once in a while to talk about Geek things. There is a place for them to sit.
Relationships: !r
I've never had a relationship.
