What is the nerdiest thing about you?

[cbrunny]

I'm a little confused by this thread. Please define the differences between a nerd and a geek...

Sounds like a topic for a different thread? I'd support that.

That's the monster bag where you pluck out cards to put on the board.

A complete misuse of the Crown Royal bag. It is for carrying dice! A mechanical pencil and a Staedtler vinyl eraser are acceptable additions.

Oh, there's another one out of frame that used for carrying dice. Arkham is very dice heavy. But there's also a couple dozen monster tokens you need to shuffle up and draw each turn.

All of my old D&D various sided dice have their own crown nut bag too.

BC in CS, MSE Software Engineering. Not much of a nerd, though.

How about least nerdy thing? Right now I am wearing several bruises from MMA training. I should have a fight coming up in April.

What weight division? What promotion? And Be sure to link to the video when the time comes. The promotion should have the whole thing on their channel or site.

Most nerdy thing about me; I have a comics collection.

That was a badge of nerd honor I use to hold as well.

For me, it is hard to be categorized as a nerd: I played three varsity sports in high school, was pretty good with the ladies until I met my wife when I was 19, I am into watching football, baseball and basketball and I coach basketball (and, though now out of shape, play when I can).

I have built my own computers and, in addition to being a moderator, I was also a hardware reviewer on Sudhian.

I have two full size server racks in my house and a fully custom thermostat and home monitoring system.



Only one rack is actually "setup" at this point, got the other one recently, still need to bolt it down. Got some stuff to do before I decide exactly on the spacing as power outlets and cable management will be added.



Yes, that is a DIN rail, on a server rack. The bottom one is just power distribution, the top is the hvac control and the monitoring stuff. Going to be adding a separate panel with a whole bunch more inputs though for the water sensors I'll be adding around the basement.

The monitoring device is basically an arduino with some basic code on it.





Also named the monitoring/control server after the computer in 2001 a Space Odyssey.

So yeah, I will admit, I'm a nerd, and proud of it! :biggrin:

I fly Flight Simulator using real SIDs and STARs and listen to my shortwave radio and police scanner and tinker with electronics. I built Area 51 in FS2004.

Not sure what qualifies me as a nerd. I love programming and have from the time I began teaching myself how in junior high, went to school for it and now it's been my career for six years. I'm also working on an Android app in my spare time (damnit I need to finish that thing!)

I just got pedals and TrackIR (already had joystick and throttle) because I'm getting more interested in flight sims. One day I'd like to take flying lessons, though.

I've built every one of my computers since high school, probably at least the past fifteen years (and some for family members).

Any of that nerdy?
