The geek code consists of several categories. Each category is labeled
|
||
|
with a letter and some qualifiers. Go through each category and determine
|
||
|
which set of qualifiers best describes you in that category. By selecting
|
||
|
the right qualifiers and submitting this form, you are able to construct
|
||
|
your overall geek code. It is this single line of code that will inform
|
||
|
other geeks the world over of what a great geek you actually are.
|
||
|
<p>
|
||
|
Some of the qualifiers will very probably not match with you exactly. It
|
||
|
is impossible to cover all possibilities in each category. Simply choose
|
||
|
that qualifier that <b>most closely</b> matches you. Also, some activities
|
||
|
described in a specific qualifier you may not engage in, while you do
|
||
|
engage in others. Each description of each qualifier describes the wide
|
||
|
range of activities that apply, so as long as you match with one, you can
|
||
|
probably use that qualifier.

Geeks can seldom be strictly quantified. To facilitate the fact that
|
||
|
within any one category the geek may not be able determine a specific
|
||
|
rating, variables have been designed to allow this range to be included.
|

|
||
|
In each category, there will be four buttons right after the category
|
||
|
description. Each is described here.
|
||
|
</p><dl>
|
||
|
<dt>@
|
||
|
</dt><dd> for this variable, said trait is not very rigid, may change
|
||
|
with time or with individual interaction. For example,
|
||
|
Geeks who happen to very much enjoy Star Trek: The Next
|
||
|
Generation, but dislike the old 60's series might list
|
||
|
themselves as t++@.
|
||
|
</dd><dt>$
|
||
|
</dt><dd> Indicates that this particular category is done for a
|
||
|
living. For example, UL+++$ indicates that the person
|
||
|
utilizes Unix and gets paid for it. Quite a lucky geek,
|
||
|
for sure.
|
||
|
</dd><dt>?
|
||
|
</dt><dd> Unless stated otherwise within the specific category, the ?
|
||
|
is placed after the category identifier and indicates that the
|
||
|
geek has no knowledge about that specific category. For
|
||
|
example, a person that has never even heard of Babylon 5,
|
||
|
would list their Babylon 5 category as 5?
|
||
|
</dd><dt>!
|
||
|
</dt><dd> Placed BEFORE the category. Unless stated otherwise,
|
||
|
indicates that the person refuses to participate in this
|
||
|
category. This is unlike the ? variable as the ? indicates
|
||
|
lack of knowledge, while the ! indicates stubborn refusal to
|
||
|
participate. For example, !E would be a person that just
|
||
|
plain refuses to have anything to do with Emacs, while E?
|
||
|
would be a person that doesn't even know what Emacs is.

|

For each qualifier in a category, there are three buttons. The first
|
||
|
button is manditory for the category. This is your baseline rating in
|
||
|
the category. The second two buttons are optional and may be used to
|
||
|
modify the baseline rating. Those modifiers are described below
|
||
|
|
||
|
</p><dl>
|
||
|
<dt>()
|
||
|
</dt><dd> for indicating "cross-overs" or ranges. Geeks who go from
|
||
|
C+ to C--- depending on the situation (i.e. mostly "c+") could
|
||
|
use C+(---). @ is different from () in that () has finite
|
||
|
limits within the category, while @ ranges all over.
|
||
|
</dd><dt>>
|
||
|
</dt><dd> for 'wannabe' ratings. Indicating that while the geek is
|
||
|
currently at one rating, they are striving to reach another.
|
||
|
For example, C->$ indicating a geek that is currently
|
||
|
computer savvy, but wants to someday make money at it.

Geeks come in many flavors. The flavors relate to the vocation (or, if a
|
||
|
student, what they are training in) of the particular geek. To start a
|
||
|
code, a geek must declare himself or herself to be a geek. To do this,
|
||
|
simply choose the button which denotes your occupation or field of study.
|
||
|
Multi-talented geeks with more than one vocational training should click
|
||
|
on all applicable areas (For those with many areas, the GAT check box
|
||
|
might be for you).

It is said that "clothes make the man". Well, I understood that I was made

by a mommy and a daddy (and there's even a category to describe the process
|

|
below!). Maybe the people who made up that saying aren't being quite that

The only way to become a true geek is through practice and experience. To

this end, your age becomes an important part of your geekiness. Use the

qualifiers below to show your age (in Terran years). Also, please use

<h3>Computers</h3>
|
||
|
Most geeks identify themselves by their use of computers and computer
|
||
|
networks. In order to quantify your geekiness level on computers, consult
|
||
|
the following (consider the term 'computers' synonymous with 'computer
|
||
|
network'). This category represents "general" computer aptitude.
|
||
|
Categories below will get into specifics.

<h3>UNIX</h3>
|
||
|
|
||
|
It seems that a Unix-based operating system is the OS of choice among most
|
||
|
geeks. In addition to telling us about your unix abilities, you can also
|
||
|
show which specific unix OS you are using. To accomplish this, you include
|
||
|
a letter showing the brand with your rating. For example: UL++++ would
|
||
|
indicate a sysadmin running Linux.

<h3>Linux</h3>
|
||
|
Linux is a hacker-written operating system virtually identical to unix. It
|
||
|
originally and continues to run on your standard 386/486/Pentium PC, but has
|
||
|
also been ported to other systems. Because it is still a young OS, and
|
||
|
because it is continually evolving from hacker changes and support, it is
|
||
|
important that the geek list his Linux ability.

Usenet, a global collection of flaming opinions and senseless babble, was

designed as a way to eat up precious spool space on a system's hard drive.

It also is a way for people to distribute pornography.

<h3>Politics and Economic Issues</h3>
|
||

Social and economic attitudes are seldom on the same side of the
|
||
|
political fence. Of course, most geeks don't really care much about
|
||
|
economics; having no money left after buying new computer toys.

<h3>Cypherpunk</h3>
|
||
|
With the birth of the overused buzzword "The Information Superhighway",
|
||
|
concerns over privacy from evil governmental bad-guys{tm} has led to the
|
||
|
formation of of an unofficial, loosely organized band of civil
|
||
|
libertarians who spend much of their time discussing how to ensure privacy
|
||
|
in the information future. This group is known by some as "cypherpunks"
|
||
|
(by others, as anarchistic subversives). To this end, tell us how punkish
|
||
|
you are.

<h3>Star Trek</h3>

Most geeks have an undeniable love for the Star Trek television show (in

any of its different incarnations). Because GEEK is often synonymous with

TREKKIE (real geeks aren't so anal as to label themselves TREKKER), it is

important that all geeks list their Trek rating.

For many years, Sci-Fi geeks have wished for a television show that would

<h3>X-Files</h3>
|

The Fox Network's Friday evening show The X-Files has become the staple

of Friday geekhood. Any show that has aliens, governmental conspiracies,

aliens, psychic powers, aliens, and other weird stuff is, by definition,
|

|
a geeky show.

<h3>Role Playing</h3>
|
||
|
Role-playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons have long been a part of the
|
||
|
traditional geek life. Because geeks often become so involved in their
|
||
|
role-playing that they lose touch with reality, include one of the following
|
||
|
role-playing codes.

<h3>DOOM!</h3>
|
||
|
There is a game out for the PCs and other computers called DOOM. It's a
|
||
|
3D virtual reality simulation where you race around and blow things away
|
||
|
with large-caliber weaponry. This has led to a series of similar games
|
||
|
such as the Star Wars themed Dark Forces. Tell us about your abilities
|
||
|
with these 3D games. (yes, some of them aren't actually Doom. Cope!)

<h3>Sex</h3>
|
||
|
Geeks have traditionally had problems with sex (ie, they never have any).
|
||
|
Because geeks are so wrapped up in their sexuality (or lack of sexuality for
|
||
|
that matter), it is important that the geek be willing to quantify their
|
||
|
sexual experiences.
|
||
|
<p>
|
||
|
This code also is used to denote the gender of the geek. Females use 'x' in
|
||
|
this category, while males use 'y'. Those that do not wish to disclose
|
||
|
their gender can use 'z'. For example:
|
||
|
</p><ul>
|
||
|
<li><input type="radio" name="34" value="x"><b>x+</b> -- I am female
|
||
|
</li><li><input type="radio" name="34" value="y"><b>y+</b> -- I am male
|
||
|
</li><li><input type="radio" name="34" value="z" checked="checked"><b>z+</b> -- I don't
|
||
|
wish to disclose my gender </li></ul>
|
||
|
<p>
|
||
|
For those persons who do not wish to give out any details of their sex life,
|
||
|
the use of z? (where z is the gender code) will allow you to do so.
