Have you calculated your geek code?

I was going to, but it looked like it would take too long.

I don't understand.

No, and I had a look at the site....I don't fall easily into many of the categories. I couldn't calculate mine.

I checked the link and I couldn't make much sense out of it. I was expecting some sort of quiz or something. I couldn't be bothered to read the whole thing. It looked kind of stupid. Survey rating: bad

Too bad I don't remember what the hell it means.
I'm such a geek.

I hadn't actually figured my geek code before but I think this is it:

yeah it's a pain in the ass, isn't it? I can't see why the guy who designed it didn't write some web pages to compute the code for you...

There's a decoder at http://www.ebb.org/ungeek/ - plug in someone else's code, and it will tell you what it means.

Oh, so _that_'s what that crap is for.

That took entirely too long. But I'm happy to see that I have ten question marks.

I don't want to

What is it? I am so confused...

Way too long.

Yeah, I was confused too, when I first looked at it! I followed the link given in this survey and started reading the explanation, which gave an example of this type of code, like the one I posted, and it looked like gibberish to me! So I skipped some of the explanation stuff and went to the general directions, which explain how the quiz format works. It's really pretty much like any other quiz--it gives you a bunch of options, and you pick which one applies to you.
The important thing to note is that there are a few extras listed at the beginning of the quiz that you can add--for instance, you can add a question mark if there's a topic you know nothing about (hence all my question marks!). For each question, you write down the appropriate abbreviation or "code" element, leaving spaces between each one. So for mine, GH means I am a Geek of the Humanities, which was the first question. d-- answers the second one (I don't even remember what it means!), s:- the third, and so on. U? means that I don't even know enough about Unix to be able to pick any of the options given for that question.
I'm pretty sure if you go to the quiz and read through it (skipping the really obscure bits--trust me, you can skip them!), you'll be able to figure it out!
On the other hand, if you don't really feel the need to figure out what kind of geek you are, then more power to you!

Hm...maybe I will try it. I like quizzes.

It takes kind of a long time, but you'll probably come out feeling all squeaky clean in your geeklessness!

I did it, but I have absolutley no idea what it means.

This is my geek code.

?S--:--a----c????w-????????pe??+-?x-?tv+b+DI--?ge--h!rx--z+

Whatever.

That's OK--I don't really know what mine means either! Except that I'm pretty ignorant where most of this computer stuff is concerned. Thankfully, I subscribe to the ignorance-is-bliss school in this area.

Pay me in the form of sexual favours and I might just read it.

Can't you just answer without thinking about sex.
It's getting very childish.

What's up

You not getting any?

Apparently I answered in qualification, let's see now if I remember how to read these things. Uh, mostly not.

What's with all these zzz's. That's not any fun.
I wonder if it's a scam for automated recruiting webbots.

Probably.

Not from HotBabe no!

Are you up early or late? How's work?

But, I did it years ago, and have completely forgotten it. Regenerated, it is:

You coerced a horizontal browser scroll. You awesome geek.

No time, I'm late I'm late I'm late!

Gee, I have no clue if I did that right...I think I'm missing something?
