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.

Misguided geekeryI once hired a van to go and collect about 150 old laptops (mostly missing the hard drives and power adaptors) just because I thought the parts might be useful one day.
They probably are (in fact I've managed to get a few of them to run Windows) but I just can't be arsed. They're mostly Pentium 2 and Pentium 3, Dell, IBM and Compaq.
If anyone wants 150 laptops, name your price.

Giving them away in Oxford Street...I'd love to, but as I said only a few are running, the rest probably would with a few spare parts and some persuasion.
If anyone wants them and can come and take them away, let me know - I live near Blackburn. I don't want anything for them.
