Bug: Computers and Clothing share the same letter
- Fixed: CM = Computers
Welcome back to the Geek Code, Microsoft!
- You have given too many geeks headaches for us to ignore you any longer
Had to revamp this because I that old code made me think of other things...
- bb is a droid on Star Wars
- bm is bowel movement
- bs is... well, you get the idea.
New expression for b allows for multiple areas to be defined for hair growth
Doesn't need to be HTML since these were originally released on UseNet message boards. Any HTML that exists in the file will be preserved for posterity
Updating towards v5
- New introduction with more older geek code examples than even Wikipedia bothers to include.
- Backed up geek code examples to GitHub so that they won't disappear along with old web pages.
- Tried to summarize the major changes between each version concisely
Why link to examples of Geek Code on the web when we maintain geek code on the web?
Here's a backup of the geek code version 2.1, now archived on GitHub where it belongs.

Update Changelog
- "The Geek Code" should be in the "Removed" list.
- In version 3.15, there was a code for The Geek Code to indicate if someone had made suggestions for future versions of geek code. This code is no longer used as of version 4.x
- Suggestions for future additions to geek code are welcome!! It is just no longer a coded part of the geek code.
Bug: Found possible confusion with Perl (LP) and Python (Lp)
- Fixed: Changed Python to Lpy. Perl remains listed as LP
- Fixed: Example used Lp for python. Changed to Lpy
Added more programming languages
- Requested by a geek: Powershell is now a listed language for Geek Code (Lwps)
- Also Added Low-Level Lisp (Llll), Lua (Llua), Q Sharp (LQ#), Bourne-Again Shell (Lbash)
Alphabetized the whole mess...
- Hopefully sorting alphabetically will prevent other duplications like Perl and Python
New Special Character!!
- Use ^ to indicate if a geek has a degree or certificate in a particular field.
Version Change
- Increased from 4.5 to 4.55 for this additional character being added to the code.
Fixing some of the wrong examples in the intro, then thought... why not rewrite and add more to the intro to make it look better?
- Added a new intro description, which was yanked originally from Wikipedia, but then edited for clarity and content (See, because I'm on GitHub and not Wikipedia, these edits are a breeze. Suck it Wikipedia)
- Older Versions Section! I think I found the oldest surviving example of geek code on the web. (Boy will he be surprised when he starts getting hits on this page of his website!)
- Some of the examples in the intro used 3.x code, and I updated to use 4.5 code. (This is still a WIP)
