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.

today's new level of nerdinessI've just read this week's b3ta newsletter. There's a bit in it about HDR photography. I've been working on HDR/tone mapping research since about 2001. This makes me a) very boring and b) completely nerdish in that I felt the need to give feedback to the newsletter pointing out that the topic is incredibly passé in the computer graphics world.
And it's Saturday. And I'm on b3ta.

Nah.I just read Sensible Erection a lot. Ursula Martinez did a stage show that someone there linked- you can find video of it yourself- and CHCB's profile picture reminded me of her.
I just have a rather good memory is all...

Wow!That's amazing! She rocks, not just for that little performance but also because she can walk in high heels and I can't.
