Update README.md
Changes to Geek Code Version 4.2 - 1. Version Numbers moved into Header instead of being placed on a new line - 2. Some of definitions that had multiple dashes were being formatted as long hyphens instead. Changed long hyphens back into minus signs where needed. - 3. Used = (equals sign) instead of dashes in other places to prevent confusion - 4. Correctly a lot of formatting. I have no idea if all this formatting is going to show correctly on GitHub, but just know it looks beautiful on my computer!

To start a code, a geek must declare himself or herself to be a geek. To do this, we start the code with a “G” to denote “GEEK”, followed by one or two letters to denote the geek’s occupation or field of study. Multi-talented geeks with more than one vocational training should denote their myriad of talents with a slash between each vocation (example: GCS/MU/TW).

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). Base 10 , wise guys.
|
||||
```
|
||||
a+++ 60 and up
|
||||
a++ 50-59
|
||||
a+ 40-49
|
||||
a 30-39
|
||||
a- 25-29
|
||||
a– 20-24
|
||||
a— 15-19
|
||||
a—- 10-14
|
||||
a—– 9 and under (Geek in training?)
|
||||
a? immortal
|
||||
!a it’s none of your business how old I am
|
||||
a++++ = 60 and up
|
||||
a+++ = 50-59
|
||||
a++ = 40-49
|
||||
a+ = 30-39
|
||||
a = 25-29
|
||||
a- = 20-24
|
||||
a-- = 15-19
|
||||
a--- = 10-14
|
||||
a---- = 9 and under (Geek in training?)
|
||||
a? = immortal
|
||||
!a = it’s none of your business how old I am
|
||||
In addition, if you wish to give your exact age, you can place the number after the ‘a’ identifier. For example: a42
|
||||
```
|
||||
#### b – beardliness/facial hair
|
||||
As facial hair plays some sort of role in geek space, serving as an expression of style, countercultural proclivities, etc. etc. and [unix beards](http://www.usenix.org.uk/content/unix_beards.html) being a thing we give it a category here despite its irrelevance to some fraction of the population. Also it lets us start off with ‘abcd’ for age/beard/clothing/dimensions
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
b – beard
|
||||
bm – mustache
|
||||
bs – sideburns
|
||||
bb – bushy eyebrows
|
||||
b = beard
|
||||
bm = mustache
|
||||
bs = sideburns
|
||||
bb = bushy eyebrows
|
||||
```
|
||||
Thus b++/bm++ means impressive beard with equally consequential mustachio. Leave blank for no facial hair.
|
||||
|
||||
#### c – Clothing
|
||||
```
|
||||
c++ I tend to wear conservative dress such as a business suit or worse, a tie.
|
||||
c+ Good leisure-wear. Slacks, button-shirt, etc. No jeans, tennis shoes, or t-shirts.
|
||||
c I dress a lot like those found in catalog ads. Bland, boring, without life or meaning.
|
||||
c- I’m usually in jeans and a t-shirt.
|
||||
c– My t-shirts go a step further and have a trendy political message on them.
|
||||
c— Punk dresser, including, but not limited to, torn jeans and shirts, body piercings, and prominent tattoos.
|
||||
cx Cross Dresser
|
||||
c? I have no idea what I am wearing right now, let alone what I wore yesterday.
|
||||
!c No clothing. Quite a fashion statement, don’t you think?
|
||||
cpu I wear the same clothes all the time, no matter the occasion, forgetting to do laundry between wearings.
|
||||
c++ = I tend to wear conservative dress such as a business suit or worse, a tie.
|
||||
c+ = Good leisure-wear. Slacks, button-shirt, etc. No jeans, tennis shoes, or t-shirts.
|
||||
c = I dress a lot like those found in catalog ads. Bland, boring, without life or meaning.

!c = No clothing. Quite a fashion statement, don’t you think?

cpu = I wear the same clothes all the time, no matter the occasion, forgetting to do laundry between wearings.
|
||||
```
|
||||
#### d – dimensions
|
||||
Geeks come in many shapes and sizes. Shape code is divided into two parts delimited by a colon, the first indicating vertical, and the second horizontal extent. Thus d+++:--- indicates extremely tall and thin.
|
||||
```
|
||||
d+++:+++ I usually have to duck through doors/I take up three movie seats.
|
||||
d++:++ I’m a basketball/linebacker candidate.
|
||||
d+:+ I’m a little taller/rounder than most.
|
||||
d: I’m an average geek
|
||||
d-:- I look up to most people. Everyone tells me to gain a few pounds.
|
||||
d–:– I look up to damn near everybody. I tend to have to fight against a strong breeze.
|
||||
d—:— I take a phone book with me when I go out so I can see to eat dinner. My bones are poking through my skin.
|
||||
d+++:+++ = I usually have to duck through doors/I take up three movie seats.
|
||||
d++:++ = I’m a basketball/linebacker candidate.
|
||||
d+:+ = I’m a little taller/rounder than most.

||||
d: = I’m an average geek
|
||||
d-:- = I look up to most people. Everyone tells me to gain a few pounds.

d--:-- = I look up to damn near everybody. I tend to have to fight against a strong breeze.

|
||||
M I use a Mac, but I’m pretty indifferent about it.
|
||||
M- Macs suck. All real geeks have a character prompt.
|
||||
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.
|
||||
M++ = I am a Mac guru. Anything those DOS putzes and Unix nerds can do, I can do better, and if not, I’ll write the damn software to do it.

||||
M+ = A Mac has it’s uses and I use it quite often.

#### PGP
|
||||
Pretty Good Privacy (aka PGP) is a program available on many platforms that will encrypt files so that prying eyes (particularly governmental) can’t look at them.
|
||||
```
|
||||
PGP++++ I am Philip Zimmerman
|
||||
PGP+++ I don’t send or answer mail that is not encrypted, or at the very least signed. If you are reading this without decrypting it first, something is wrong. IT DIDN’T COME FROM ME!

PGP++ I have the most recent version and use it regularly
|
||||
PGP+ “Finger me for my public key”
|
||||
PGP I’ve used it, but stopped long ago.
|
||||
PGP- I don’t have anything to hide.
|
||||
PGP– I feel that the glory of the Internet is in the anarchic, trusting environment that so nurtures the exchange of information. Encryption just bogs that down.
|
||||
PGP— If you support encryption on the Internet, you must be a drug dealer or terrorist or something like that.

||||
PGP—- Oh, here is something you all can use that is better (insert Clipper here).

#### R – Role Playing

||||
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.
|
||||
```
|
||||
R+++ I’ve written and published my own gaming materials.
|
||||
R++ There is no life outside the role of the die. I know all of piddly rules of (chosen game). _MY_ own warped rules scare the rest of the players.

||||

B++ I find the time to get through at least one new book a month.

B+ I enjoy reading, but don’t get the time very often.
|
||||
B I read the newspaper and the occasional book.
|

B- I read when there is no other way to get the information.

### LIFESTYLE
|
||||
|
||||
Geeks, unlike the lower lifeforms known as nerds, have lives. They have things to do that are in the outside world. Of course, this is usually done with other geeks, but that’s not the point. The point is,, that geeks are not necessarily the outcasts society often believes they are. The fact is that society isn’t kool enough to be included in our activities.

||||
#### Sex
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
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:
|
||||
This code also is used to denote the gender of the geek. Females use ‘x’ in this category, while males use ‘y’. Non-binary or those that do not wish to disclose their gender can use ‘z’. For example:
|
||||
```
|
||||
x+ — A female who has had sex
|
||||
y+ — A male who has had sex.
|
||||
z+ — A person (gender undisclosed) who has had sex.
|
||||
!z neither my sex nor my sex life are any of your beeswax
|
||||
x+ = A female who has had sex
|
||||
y+ = A male who has had sex.
|
||||
z+ = A person (gender undisclosed, or non-binary) who has had sex.
|
||||
!z = neither my sex nor my sex life are any of your beeswax
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
