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.

Sitting next to me...
...in a half-height Dell rack, are the following;
1 x HP DL360G1
2 x HP DL380G2
2 x HP DL580G2
1 x HP MSA30 with 14 146GB disks
1 x Compaq 1850r (for nostalgia reasons)
This is my home office.
I'm not saying "WINNAR!!!". I'm just saying that there has to be some element of geekness, if only for the 1850r because I can't bear to get rid of it.
Hey wait I've just realised - maybe this is why I am nearly deaf in my right ear!
