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 a geek, but can wax lyrical about PDA'sOk, so the company I work for repairs and upgrades PDA's. I never knew shit about them until I took the job as the assistant to the CEO of the company.
It's a small company, but the title correlates with the pay, so I'm not complaining about doing other stuff in the office as well as running out to Starbucks for him.
I can tell you the benefits of HTC over the (new) i-mate, ETEN, iPAQ and Axim PDA's, as well as the various different names that each device is known as by carrier.
I can tell you how much ROM and RAM is available on the new units, and whether or not the architecture of a device allows for a RAM upgrade. We are one of only 2 companies in the world that does RAM upgrades on Windows Mobile devices.
*sigh* I guess I am a bit of a geek.
