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 Geek, of course, doesn't believe any of that crap; on the internet, no one knows you're a dog, according to ancient meme. In any case this section allows you to list something about what you look like, conceivably for dating purposes or such nonsense. Also it lets us start off with 'abcd' for age/beard/clothing/dimensions.

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.
