This is a question 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.

I use RS232 at home, and was cheesed when I found the PCI serial/parallel port card I bought for this PC doesn't have Vista 64 drivers.
I've been designing and building computers with various 1980s processors. Since they don't have their own monitors (*wants a VT100 or similar*), a serial port was pretty much a necessity. As was a parallel port for my EPROM programmer.
