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.

Hmm, the Excel nerds have got me thinkingMy diet tracking spreadsheet (16 lbs so far!) has evolved into a 9 sheet monster covering:
- Weight (obviously)
- BMI (number and meaning)
- Body fat percentage
- Calorie tracking
- Calories used through exercise
- Moving averages (5, 10 and 30 days)
- Targets
- Estimates and projections
- % changes
- Charts (dynamic ones, controlled by sliders - they're cool)
- Statistics covering averages, last month, previous month, etc., etc.
It helps! Detailed records, kept daily and averaged out really show the progress or lack of it. Like I say - 16lbs already, and targetting another 2 stones this year!

Hacker's DietSounds like an evolved version of some of the stuff here... www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/www/hackdiet.html
I can also verify that it works. Good on you mate, and good luck with it.

Shouldn't you have waist size in there too?Combined with the BMI, I gather it gives a more useful measurement (unless you're just trying to get light enough for air transport of some kind).
