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.

We have a wiki for the flatIt hosts to-do lists, and shopping lists. There's only two of us living here.
Somehow this is easier than having paper about (gets covered in stuff), or a whiteboard (rented, so no pins in walls, gahness).
Yes, I'm trying to justify it. But a wiki, for two people?

I think this is an awesome idea!I made a facebook group for our 'stupid wall' - wall with stupid quotes that people come out with...
If only my flatmates understood how to use a wiki that would be an ideal solution!

the real test of geekiness is:did you just sign up to one or extract it onto a website, or do you have a local machine with apache on it?

gormo:depends what you mean by local.
It's hosted on the server which is behind the sofa *pats it*, but there is a backup on a remote server. We have other things on it, so it's not as if it exists just for the wiki.
oh and
debian ftw!
I unfortunately exhausted most of my nerdiness the other week:
