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.

ooooo...good ideaI never thought of going ahead and shelving the new books but leaving them upside down. What a great idea! I always keep the new books in a stack and don't shelve them until they've been read.
I too have a fairly strict organization and I often will re-arrange everything when I run out of room in any bit of the organization. My main rule though is to keep the books printed before 1940 on separate sets of shelves and in a different room......they might not like the younger interlopers on my other shelves.
While all of these other people are daydreaming about their computers, programs, coding, etc....I'm daydreaming about the new bookshelves I want to build. I am almost ashamed to admit that I only have 9 sets of shelves with my kids using 2 of them for their books (they are 5 and 7).
*must acquire more shelves of books*
