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.

Nerd? Me?I'm not a nerd, honest.
Although, I am a Microsoft System Centre consultant and I can bore you to death with what I do for a living - most of my friends and family roll their eyes when I tell them what I do - well, they did ask....
I'm a HUGE fan of the IT crowd, I love Star Trek (but I'm NOT a trekkie) and I always seem to see and find continuity errors in programs and then I point them out. All the time...
However, my main claim to nerd fame is the fact that, as a boy, I looked like a younger version of Moss - with the glasses and the hair....
And my best friend Steve calls me "Carlton" (a la Fresh Prince of Bel Air)
And I listen to Radio 4. A lot.
And I have 2 laptops - An Apple Mac laptop which I prefer to use over my (idiot) Vista laptop.
