Geek: GCS/IT/ED: I'm a geek of computer science.; a geek of information technology.; a geek of education.
Dress: d-(--)?
I range from…: I'm usually in jeans and a t-shirt.
… to …: My t-shirts go a step further and have a trendy political message on them.
Shape: s:(+)>: I'm the height of an average geek.
I range from …: I'm as round as an average geek.
… to …: I'm a little rounder than most.
Age: a+: I'm between 40 and 49.
Computers: C++(+++)$>+
I range from …: Computers are a large part of my existence. When I get up in the morning, the first thing I do is log myself in. I play games or mud on weekends, but still manage to stay off of academic probation.
… to …: You mean there is life outside of Internet? You're shittin' me! I haven't dragged myself to class in weeks.
I'm making money at this.
… but I'd like to be …: Computers are fun and I enjoy using them. I play a mean game of DOOM! and can use a word processor without resorting to the manual too often. I know that a 3.5" disk is not a hard disk. I also know that when it says 'press any key to continue', I don't have to look for a key labeled 'ANY'.
Unix: ULC*++(++++)>+$: Linux:; I have a unix account to do my stuff in.; SCO Unix:; I have a unix account to do my stuff in.; Other Unix:
I range from …: I've got the entire admin ticked off at me because I am always using all of the CPU time and trying to run programs that I don't have access to. I'm going to try cracking /etc/passwd next week, just don't tell anyone.
… to …: I am the sysadmin. If you try and crack my machine, don't be surprised if the municipal works department gets an “accidental” computer-generated order to start a new landfill on your front lawn or your quota is reduced to 4K.
… but I'd like to be …: I not only have an account, but I slam VMS any chance I get.

Perl: P+(++)
I range from …: I know of perl. I like perl. I just haven't learned much perl, but it's on my agenda.
… to …: Perl is a powerful programming tool. I don't write shell scripts anymore because I write them in Perl.
Linux: L+(++)>+$
I range from …: I've managed to get Linux installed and even used it a few times. It seems like it is just another OS.
… to …: I use Linux ALMOST exclusively on my system. I've given up trying to achieve Linux.God status, but welcome the OS as a replacement for DOS. I only boot to DOS to play games.
… but I'd like to be …: I've managed to get Linux installed and even used it a few times. It seems like it is just another OS.

Emacs: E----(--)>----$

OS/2: !O: I don't use OS/2.
Macintosh: !M-->$: I don't use a Mac.; Macs do more than suck. They make a user stupid by allowing them to use the system without knowing what they are doing. Mac weenies have lower IQs than the fuzz in my navel.
… but I'd like to be …: I use a Mac, but I'm pretty indifferent about it.
VMS: !V: I don't use VMS.
Politics-Social: PS+>++>$: 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.
… but I'd like to be …: I give to liberal causes. I march for gay rights. I'm a card carrying member of the ACLU. Keep abortion safe and legal.
I'd like to be making money at this.
Politics-Economic: PE-(--)
I range from …: It's ok to increase government spending, so we can help more poor people. Tax the rich! Cut the defense budget!

PGP: PGP++(+++)>$
I range from …: I have the most recent version and use it regularly

Trek: t+(++)>$
I range from …: It's a damn fine TV show and is one of the only things good on television any more.
… to …: It's the best show around. I have all the episodes and the movies on tape and can quote entire scenes verbatim. I've built a few of the model kits too. But you'll never catch me at one of those conventions. Those people are kooks.
