THE GEEK TYPE CODE [GIT] : Geek of Information Technology THE DRESS CODE [d>d--] : I dress a lot like those found in catalog ads. Bland, boring, without life or meaning. Striving for Punk dresser, including, but not limited to, torn jeans and shirts, body piercings, and prominent tattoos. THE SHAPE CODE [s+:+] : I'm a little taller/rounder than most. THE AGE CODE [a36] : My age is 30-39 in Terran years. I'm 36 to be precise. THE COMPUTER CODE [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. THE UNIX CODE [UL>UB+] : I have a Linux account to do stuff in. I'm hoping to have both a unix and VMS account this fall when I'm at school. THE PERL CODE [P+] : I know of Perl. I like Perl. I just haven't learned much Perl, but it is on my agenda. THE LINUX CODE [L+@L++] : I've managed to get Linux installed and even used it a few times. It seems like it is just another OS. Actually, I think Linux rocks, even though I'm not very familiar with it. More than most, not as much as some, as my husband would say. THE EMACS CODE [E---] : Emacs sucks! pico forever!!! THE WORLD WIDE WEB CODE [W++>$] : I have a homepage. I surf daily. My homepage is advertised in my .signature. I'd like to be doing web design for a living. THE USENET NEWS CODE [N+] : I read news recreationally when I have some time to kill. THE USENET ORACLE CODE [o] : I've submitted a question, but it has never been incarnated. THE KIBO CODE [K++] : I've read Kibo. THE MICROSOFT WINDOWS CODE [w--(w+)] : 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. That said, I have installed my own custom sounds, wallpaper, and screen savers so my PC walks and talks like a fun house. Oh yeah, I have a hundred TrueType(tm) fonts that I've installed but never used. I never lose Minesweeper and Solitaire. THE OS/2 CODE [O-] : Tried it, didn't like it. It's really that I didn't like. I just didn't see the point. THE MACINTOSH CODE [M--] : 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. THE VMS CODE [V] : I've used VMS. THE POLITICAL AND 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. THE POLITICS AND ECONOMIC ISSUES CODE [PE-] : It's ok to increase government spending, so we can help more poor people. Tax the rich! Cut the defense budget! THE CYBERPUNK CODE [Y+] : I have an interest and concern in privacy issues, but in reality I am not really all that active or vocal. THE PGP CODE [PGP>PGP++] : I've used it, but stopped long ago. However, I've downloaded the most recent and would like to use it regularly. THE STAR TREK CODE [t+@] : It's a damn fine TV show and is one of the only things good on television any more. THE BABYLON 5 CODE [5] : I've seen it, I am pretty indifferent to it. THE X-FILES CODE [X+] : I've Converted my family and watch the show when I remember. It's really kinda fun. THE ROLE PLAYING CODE [R] : Role-Playing? That's just something to do to kill a Saturday afternoon. THE TELEVISION CODE [!tv] : I do not own a television. Actually, I own a television, but I only watch videos on it! THE BOOK CODE [b+++] : I consume a few books a week as part of a staple diet. THE DILBERT CODE [DI+++] : I am a Dilbert prototype. THE DOOM! CODE [D--] : To hell with Doom, I miss Zork. THE GEEK CODE [G] : I know what the geek code is and even did up this code. THE EDUCATION CODE [e*] : I learned everything there is to know about life from the "Hitchhiker's Trilogy." THE HOUSING CODE [h---] : Married, (persons living romantically with someone might as well label themselves h---, you're as good as there already.) In our defense, we each have our own computer, they are networked, and my has a docking module. THE RELATIONSHIP CODE [r+++] : Found someone, dated, and am now married. THE SEX CODE [x?] : It's none of your business what my sex life is like. Suffice it to say I'm female. |
