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.

I also get frustrated that I can't edit newspapers/books/posters/non-wiki websites, finding myself actually moving my hand to the top of a newspaper page for the button...

Have a click...Nice one.
And a special shout out for making me look at the bottom corner of my screen... then remember that this is my Mac, and the clock is actually top rightish.
