New Geek code
I've updated my geek code (from the original one I posted, see this page) to reflect some issues I noticed after a while. Here is a change log:
I've gone from s-
to s-:--
based on an event that happeneda few weeks ago.
From c++
to c++>$
because I hope to one day make money out of my hobby.
From U++
to UL++>++++$
. I've done this to reflect that I use the linux variant of unix, and that I would like to be paid to be a linux SysAdmin.
Gone From P+
to P+>++
to emphasize that I would like to learn more Perl.
I used to be L+++
but now I'm L+++>++++$
because I want to be so good at it, people will pay me for it.
From W+++
to being W+++>$
because I want to be (among other things) a webmaster when I grow up.
I lied a bit here, so I went from N++
to N+
. Sorry.
I changed from M-
to !M-
to express that I will never use a Mac (see This Post for reasons why).
I changed from V--
to V?
. The reason this was originally V--
was because I believed that Unix was better than anything it came across. But given that I can not compare it with Something I have not used, I should change it to V?
.
I added 5?
because I have never heard of Babylon 5 (flames to the Bit Bucket, Please!?). 'Nuff Said.
I went from tv+
to tv--
because I have been watching less and less TV lately. It may change agiain, though.
I used to be b++
, but had to go to b+
because I can no longer find the time to read (outside of school, and not including PC Magazine and Extreme Tech).
I wanted to express that all of the people I live with are complete anti-geeks (see this UserFirendly Comic strip for an Image of the typical anti-geek. My parents are a slight variation fo that, but pretty much the same.). As such, I added h--
.
I really like the WebToon UserFriendly, so I added UF++
. This means "I have two or more User Friendly cartoons posted near my office/cube/whatever." Note that this is not an official part of the Geek Code; Illiad made this up. This is an explanation of what each segment means:
The Final Geek Code Block now looks like this:
- UF+++++ I am Illiad.
- UF++++ I have accumulated more than 500 geekpoints.
- UF+++ I am a Dust Puppy prototype.
- UF++ I have two or more User Friendly cartoons posted near my office/cube/whatever.
- UF+ I have been a victim of the User Friendly Productivity Virus.
- UF I read User Friendly daily, often understanding it
- UF- Why are they always picking on Stef? He's my idol.
- UF-- Don't read it, but the fuzzy thing with feet is cute.
- UF--- What's their tech support guy's problem? Why can't he answer honest questions without getting an attitude?
- UF---- I am Crud Puppy.
