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.

At geeky gatherings....of like minded souls, I have been known to ask people "what is their favourite operation code". I get a warm feeling if people reply "xfoot" as that is mine too!
I also have dabbled with MI (machine interface) Programming that has little commercial use, but is highly rewarding in a get-me-a-tummy-wipe sort of way......
