This is a question 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.

This is a QotW answer Erm, OK.
I've organised a sci-fi convention.

I think that's enough, yes?

Edit: Twice, actually.

This is a QotW comment Now to be fair
it didn't involve any Klingon costumes or such, and I've never been to any other SF cons myself.

I have been to three hacker conventions though.
