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.

pitch"He that toucheth pitch, shall be defiled therewith." (Apocrypha Ecclesiasticus xiii.) yet I allow myself to have opinions as to what is the optimal pitch for performing certain music. If this is serious, have I defiled gravity? Also, I favour Valotti or sixth comma meantone tuning for some purposes and Werckmeister III for others - can anyone empathise with this? Does anyone care? Is anyone there? Am I here? I think I am, for now, putting de cart before de hearse.
