Geek Code - Format

Format

The Geek Code Block formatting, which is optional (though not in Robert Hayden's opinion), is a parody of the output produced by the encryption program PGP. Within the Geek Code Block there is a line specifying the version of Geek Code being used. The next line starts with the letter G (for Geek) followed by the geek's occupation(s): GMU for a geek of music, then the geek code proper begins. For geeks with multiple occupations, a slash or slashes are used: GMD/TW, for instance, for a geek of medicine and technical writing. There are 28 occupations that can be represented. These are:

• GB-- Geek of Business
• GC-- Geek of Classics

• GAT-- Geek of All Trades. For those geeks that can do anything and everything. GAT usually precludes the use of other vocational descriptors.
