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.

Its no lookerBut I use one of these for recording work; www.tascam.com/details;8,11,42.html. Its useful because it allows editing on the hard drive before going elsewhere. In extremis it can deal with any pitch issues or damaged area. I've tinkered with turning vinyl into DSD recordings but its a faff and I'm not really convinced the benefits are worth it.
Ironically my employer has done fairly well out of DAB radios but, I look at it as a wasted opportunity and do indeed still listen to FM. I'm not some pointless anacrophile though. The public has taken to the choice and flexibility of solid state music and in time, the potential for really high bandwidth recordings over download is something I look forward to.
EDIT- fucksocks, the link is dicky- but I refer to the DVRA1000HD.
