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 don't get to tell these jokes to many peopleMost people just stare at me blankly.

- There are 10 types of people. Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
Q. What's got feathers and goes "pieces of seven, pieces of seven"??
A. A parroty error.
Other geek claims, while we're here? I'm the only female technology manager in my company, I have a degree in computer science and I've forgotten more programming languages than most people ever learn. And I have a mighty fine collection of test card music. And it all makes me happy.

How many?Most people don't learn any programming languages, so even I (who's only forgotten Pascal and C) can claim that! Mind you, it took me all of a couple of pints after my exams to forget it all!

*thinks thinks thinks*Turbo-Pascal, C++, Mike, Prolog are the ones I've forgotten (I'm sure there were two others but I can't remember what...)
I still remember HTML and BASIC ;-)
