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.

Geek of the WeekI'm using an open-source rebuild of Transport Tycoon to build an accurate recreation of the railways of the South-East of England, with all the right timetables and everything, when I should be building an SQL database.
I win.

Being a residentOf the South East on England, mark my words, it'll be wrong.
You need bus replacements, and frequent suicides of people escaping from the "secure" mental hospital at Harlow Town to balls the whole thing up...

I too would be interested in seeing your finished project!
EDIT: I assume it's OpenTTD You're using, right?
