Jimcat's Old Geek Code

GS/CS/O d(++) -p+ c++ l u+ e+ m*(--) s+/ n+(---) h f+ g- w+(-) t+ r- y+

Some further explanation, for those who may need it:

GS/CS/O

Geek of Science, Computer Science, and Other. I was disappointed to see that there was no "Geek of History" category. Also, if there is such a thing as a Geek of Railroads, then I'm sure I qualify.

d(++)

When not at work, my clothing is fairly nondescript. Since I work in the financial industry, though, I do spend a good portion of my time dressed in a suit.

-p+

I have yet to find a political party in whose views I don't find some fatal flaw. I think that anyone who actually wants to run for political office should be automatically disqualified.

c++

Computers have been a major part of my life since I entered college.

l

Right now I don't have a computer that's powerful enough to support Linux, although one of my goals for 1996 is to do something about that. So this may change soon.

u+

Although I'm not a programmer, I learned just enough Unix to be dangerous while I was at RPI. As far as I'm concerned, all the other operating systems are either poor substitutes or kiddie toys.

e+

One of these days I may actually get some sort of college degree.

m*(--)

I have fairly broad tastes in music, but I love to blast that rock'n'roll when I can.

s+/

I'm about six feet tall with a medium build.

n+(---)

I try to keep a healthy diet. But dammit, I'll never give up my Fritos and Coke.

h

After six years of living as a college student, I got sick of dealing with shared apartments and got a place of my own. Definitely an improvement.

f+

There are very few people I don't get along with. I have what I consider a good number of friends.

g-

I'm severely myopic, to the extent that I literally couldn't walk down the street safely without my glasses or contact lenses. Fortunately it's completely correctable. I've had contact lenses since I was in eighth grade, and very rarely wear glasses in public. If you ever saw me wearing my glasses, you'd understand why.

w+(-)

Sometimes I act pretty weird, for a normal person. Sometimes I act pretty normal, for a weirdo.

t+

There are very few good shows on television, in my opinion. Star Trek is one of the few I don't mind watching.

r-

I used to play a lot of role playing games up until high school, then lost interest. I dabbled in a few when I got to RPI, but all things considered, I can think of a lot of better things to do with my time.

y+

I'm male, hetero, and believe in the importance of practicing safe sex. And that's all that I really want to go into here about my sex life.
