The Geek Code is basicly a (small) part of Internet history. When I did the first incarnation of the code back in '93, it was as a lark. Eventually, it evolved into the form you see online now and has remained virtually unchanged since that time.
The following is an example Geek Code. If you are interested in a particular category, click on the letter and you will be sent to the explanation for that letter.

Some types of geeks deviate from the normal geek activities. This is encouraged as true geeks come from all walks of life. GU --- Geek of 'Undecided'. This is a popular vocation with incoming freshmen. G! --- Geek of no qualifications. A rather miserable existence, you would think. GAT -- Geek of All Trades. For those geeks that can do anything and everything. GAT usually precludes the use of other vocational descriptors.
