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.

Been there... done that, got the same piece of paper. The most depressing part is when you look back on your dissertation in two years' time and realise what an absolute load of twaddle it is. For example, the coding I did for my employer yesterday afternoon (employer - an anagram of popular flight operator BMI, and I was at home in my boxers eating biscuits and smoking rollups, I might add) was twice as complex than the crap I wrote back then.
