(There is no male analogue to the crazy woman.)
Let's see:
The Sysadmin/geek might:
- have XKCD cartoons taped to the walls of his cube
- insist on wearing ratty black tee shirts with "witty" slogans
- create "shareware" well after college
- grow his hair out and pretend he is cool
- make weird statements out of nowhere that have nothing to do with the conversation (no modification)
- subsist solely on Mountain Dew, beer and pizza.

I believe we have a match.
