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.

DVDsMrs Just1lady has a habit of alphabetising the DVDs, but she sorts them by the size of the case first. Fair enough, it does make it look neater but my kids like to choose a dvd to watch at bedtime on a weekend. Depending on how late they decide to go to bed determines the length of the film. Going to bed at 10pm does not entitle them to watch Return of the King for example.
To aid this choosing procedure, I reordered the DVDs by running time. Just1lady went ape-shit and as soon as I left the room she had them all off the shelf and put them back into order.
Right, thought I, I reordered them in order of their rating on IMDB.

I like the idea of ordering them by IMDB ratingThere might need to be a "holding area" on the shelf for new films where they wait until their rating has settled down.

Holding AreaCol Drac, I never planned for new films. Hmmm... Then again, I'm a cheapskate and only buy older films that are less than £1.50 on Amazon Marketplace.
