Sadly, the Geek Code page (http://www.geekcode.com) has announced that it is now "part of Internet history." So I see no reason to update mine anymore, although I'm quite pleased that I have achieved my goal of L+++$.

Geek of Computer Science, Geek of Philosophy.
I dress a lot like those found in catalog ads. Bland, boring, without life or meaning.
My tendencies on this issue range from: "Good leisure-wear. Slacks, button-shirt, etc. No jeans, tennis shoes, or t-shirts.", to: "I'm usually in jeans and a t-shirt."
My t-shirts go a step further and have a trendy political message on them.
I'm a little rounder than most. But someday I'd like to say: "I'm an average geek."
My age is 40-49. But someday I'd like to say: "I am immortal."
Computers are a tool, nothing more. I use it when it serves my purpose.
I have a Unix account to do my stuff in. But someday I'd like to say: "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."
I don't write Perl, I speak it. Perl has superseded all other programming languages. I firmly believe that all programs can be reduced to a Perl one-liner. I use Perl to achieve U+++ status. But someday I'd like to say: "I am Larry Wall, Tom Christiansen, or Randal Schwartz."
I've managed to get Linux installed and even used it a few times. It seems like it is just another OS. But someday I'd like to say: "I use Linux exclusively on my system. I monitor comp.os.linux.* and even answer questions sometimes. Getting paid for it!"
I know and use elisp regularly!
My tendencies on this issue range from: "I have a homepage. I surf daily. My homepage is advertised in my .signature.", to: "A pox on the Web! It wastes time and bandwidth and just gives the uneducated morons a reason to clutter the Internet." Getting paid for it! But someday I'd like to say: "I am a WebMaster. Don't even think about trying to view my homepage without the latest version of Netscape. When I'm not on my normal net connection, I surf the web using my Newton and a cellular modem."
My tendencies on this issue range from: "I read news recreationally when I have some time to kill.", to: "News is a waste of my time and I avoid it completely."
I refuse to categorize myself on Usenet Oracle. But that varies...
Kibo? I don't even know what that is...
My tendencies on this issue range from: "Ok, so I use MS Windows, I don't have to like it.", to: "MS Windows is a joke operating system. Hell, it's not even an operating system. NT is Not Tough enough for me either. 95 is how may times it will crash an hour."
Tried it, didn't like it. But someday I'd like to say: "I live, eat and breathe OS/2. All of my hard drives are HPFS. I am the Anti-Gates."
Macintosh? I don't even know what that is...
VMS? I don't even know what that is...
My tendencies on this issue range from: "Repent left-wing sinners and change your wicked evil ways. Buchanan/Robertson in '96.", to: "Label records! Keep dirty stuff off the TV and the Internet."
My tendencies on this issue range from: "Distrust both government and business.", to: "Keep the government off the backs of businesses. Deregulate as much as possible."
I have an interest and concern in privacy issues, but in reality I am not really all that active or vocal. But that varies...
I don't have anything to hide. But someday I'd like to say: "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!"
My tendencies on this issue range from: "It's a damn fine TV show and is one of the only things good on television any more.", to: "It's just another TV show."
Finally a show that shows what a real future would look like. None of this Picardian "Let's talk about it and be friends" crap. And what's this? We finally get to see a bathroom! Over on that Enterprise, they've been holding it for over seven years! But that varies...
If I wanted to watch this kind of stuff, I'd talk to Oliver Stone
Gosh, what an utter waste of time! But someday I'd like to say: "I thought life WAS role-playing?"
I watch some tv every day. But that varies... But someday I'd like to say: "I just leave the tv on, to make sure I don't miss anything. Getting paid for it!"
I find the time to get through at least one new book a month. But that varies... But someday I'd like to say: "I consume a few books a week as part of a staple diet."
My tendencies on this issue range from: "I work with people that act a lot like Dilbert and his boss.", to: "I've received mail from Scott Adams. I'm in the DNRC (Dogbert's New Ruling Class)." But someday I'd like to say: "Is that the comic about the engineers?"
To hell with Doom, I miss Zork.
My tendencies on this issue range from: "I know what the geek code is and even did up this code.", to: "What a tremendous waste of time this Geek Code is." But someday I'd like to say: "I have made a suggestion for future versions of the code."
Got a Baccalaureate degree. But someday I'd like to say: "Managed to get my Ph.D."
Married, (persons living romantically with someone might as well label themselves h---, you're as good as there already.)
Found someone, dated, and am now married. But someday I'd like to say: "I've dated my current S.O. for a long time."
Male. I have a few little rug rats to prove I've been there. Besides, with kids around, who has time for sex?
