While the website in the OP is visually very nice and ipad friendly, I personally prefer this one:

Nice story about how the codes came about + explanations about the wierd ones. Some of the obvious ones are also mentioned but in an explanatory context. Plus you also donīt have to click/touch for every code you want to know about.
