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.

Not only, but also...Well, as is fairly standard, I alphabetise my CDs, and order by release date within artist, though I do also ensure that each CD is aligned correctly within its case - which may technically be unecessary, but I find it a crucial part of the CD-ordering ritual.
Slightly worryingly, this isn't something that I instigated, but many years ago I recall someone saying it as a joke, and thinking it was actually a rather good idea.
I also keep my Digipack CDs seperate from my jewel cases so as to keep each shelf uniform in composition, and those digipacks with their variable sizes just don't cut the mustard.
Oh, and I work for a company that makes printers (and more importantly lasers*) that put Best Before Dates on things.
*Burny, burny lasers, oh so much fun. Last week I was burning codes directly into cheese, and filled the entire building with acrid, lactic smoke.
