How nerdy are you?
This week Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons, died. A whole generation of pasty dice-obsessed nerds owes him big time. Me included.
So, in his honour, how nerdy were you? Are you still sunlight-averse? What are the sad little things you do that nobody else understands?
As an example, a B3ta regular who shall remain nameless told us, "I spent an entire school summer holiday getting my BBC Model B computer to produce filthy stories from an extensive database of names, nouns, adjectives, stock phrases and deviant sexual practices. It revolutionised the porn magazine dirty letter writing industry for ever.
Revel in your own nerdiness.

I'm more geeky than nerdy I'd say...
But then I see a major difference between nerd and geek. Guess that counts!
But anyway:
I'm a member of an online Blood Bowl game, which is a java version of a games workshop game...
I did used to paint the miniatures when I was younger, but not for many a year now.
I regularly stay up online till 4am programming.
I made a Clippy generator because I was too lazy to shop them every time.
I saw an ASCII reference here too in a bad pun, well I wrote an image-ASCII converter...It does edge tracing (badly) too!
Oh, and to get some maths geekery in there, I have a half done raycaster too. In PHP too, which adds to the pointlessly geeky value!
Did I mention I've been single for 2 years now? Can't think why!
