I want to know how bad i suck so come on people make me feel better about myself......please?
-
Ok, seriously dude, when you start a topic please make it worth my bandwith to read.
Instead of just asking about something "nerdy" others have done why not share an example yourself then ask. Forums are a little both of give and take.

Will do......
Well one time I was willing wrapped in tin foil to look like a knight in shining armor down the main street of the town I live in..... people thought it was a bachelor party thing or maybe they just wished it was..
I had a helmet'n'everything my lance was an old light saber and I almost passed out do to the heat but all and all it was nerd craft to the extreme.
-
we wrapped a guy up in tin foil and put him on the paint float ostensibly to test our ships radar... would have been the best prank ever if the float hadn't gotten underway and floated down the Elizabeth river... course we got him 20 minutes later after the small boat started up.
not really nerdy but good times.
Oh and people still fall for the shoreline joke.. who'dof thunk.

That's awesome Jeffe.
Nerdiest thing I've done is being at Fell's house. Seriously. He's a nerd.

Boris, you need to realize that several active members of this board are writers and editors. You may mock the fact that we prefer proper grammar and punctuation around her (http://www.timewastersguide.com/boards/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=news;action=display;num=1051196804;start=135)e, but we still expect you to follow our 'suggestion' that you make your posts coherent and readable with punctuation, proper grammar, and (for the most part) correct spelling. It makes your posts easier to read--which makes us less cranky. I highly recommend that you put some effort into that category.

The editor in me cries at the abuse of ellipses and apostrophes in your post, so I guess we're even. ;)

touche
-
no its ...touche....
-
isn't it touché :P
Most nerdy thing I ever did was starting to play DnD. :)
-
And, in that context, it's "it's" not "its." "Its" is possessive, whereas "it's" is a contraction.
-
Ok grammar nerds, this discussion is definitely one of the nerdiest things you people have done.
-
I think joining this site.... That or replying to this post or maybe having my wife watch me play Star Ocean 3, Final Fantasy X, Xenosaga 1-2 and Final Fantasy 7 without once asking to play. Just watching.
-
I once revised for a test. I know really really nerdy
*Rak hangs himself in shame

Besides joining this site, the most recent nerdy thing I've done was having a Starwars marathon. Watching 1-6 straight in a row (even through in the Clone Wars) while at the same time trading off in playing Starwars Trivia, Starwars Monopoly, and Starwars Chess.
-
The least nerdy thing I have done is join the Chess Club. You do the math.
-
5?
-
Checkmate!
-
A true nerd would have got the math right. The answer is 42.

Well, last week my friend Nestor and I were severly dissatisfied with the advance filter option in excel, what with it making us re-filter our extraction table everytime we added some new data to criteria table. So we decided to write a new function, which at the moment consists of a Vlookup which contains an if/then function that is attached to a range. At the moment it looks something like this
=VLOOKUP(##:##,IF##, THEN##) but we're still tweaking it, it might need a show/hide function.
