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.

Another reminder*, thanks furnace!
I almost bought a binary clock once, but it annoyed me that it was a seperate register for each decimal digit, and not just two - one for hours and one for minutes. I wanted to have to read 001101-100101, not 0001-0011-0011-0111.
*I don't like where this is going - how nerdy do you have to be that 3 posts in one page remind you of something nerdy you do, and that you can relate to another 10 or so?
