| 
 | |
| 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.

 | |
| <p>
 | |
| 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. 
 | |
| </p><p>
 | |
| </p><hr>
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| 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.
 | |
| </dd></dl>
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| </p><hr>
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| 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 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>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.

 | |
| 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.
