Geek code

Started as a joke in 1993, the idea is to define yourself based on your characteristics to build up a geek code, often used as e-mail signatures, forum post signatures, website footers, etc.

An example is:

Version: 3.1 GED/J d-- s:++>: a-- C++(++++) ULU++ P+ L++ E W+(-) N+++ o+ K+++ w--- O- M+ V-- PS++>$ PE++>$ Y++ PGP++ t- 5+++ X++ R+++>$ tv+ b+ DI+++ D+++ G+++++ e++ h r-- y++**

The idea is that a letter is followed by a number of +'s or -'s. Each of the letters represents a 'geeky' hobby or interest, and the number of +'s and -'s indicates how much you like or dislike it. For example a t indicates Startrek, 5 indicates Babylon 5 and r indicates relationship.
