What's the Nerdiest/Geekiest thing you've done today?

Me, I built a digital clock that also displays the date:

The big problem is figuring out what to do now that it's all together. It's not exactly portable and I really don't want to rewire it. It is being controlled by a microcontroller though so it can double as a 12 digit display. I'm almost tempted to look into getting a PCB manufactured for it.

I spent all day meticulously testing and replacing every part in the spare PC i run a minecraft server on.

Still don't know why it's not working.

I read some more of Goethe's Faust (An English translation on the internet, not even the good translation), then used what I read today to speculate about Madoka Magica's plot, specifically what Walpurgisnacht will constitute, at Mike all the way home from work.

Man I got nothing on you guys. I tried to buy some comics but the comics store was inexplicably closed. I ended up reading a fantasy book (Lord of Lies, by David Zindell). That's kind of geeky but very casually. I'll have to learn to program stuff or something.

Honestly, really nothing.

I caught up on much needed sleep though.

I wrote a small dissertation on my current MMO, spent time re-doing the sidebar and bottom notes templates also seen on that page to respectively add my reviews to the links and allow the boxes to span multiple columns by entering a span number of up to 4, and re-opened my arena.

I really don't know which is worse.

I stayed at home, then took a nap and woke up to use my laptop.

I played Magic the Gathering. On the computer.

Of course it's only 8 in the morning yet.

Even after I learned, grew up, and came to be on the right side of a lot of important issues, I was still angry, abrasive, and generally increased the amount of hate in the world, in pretty unacceptable ways. On the off chance that someone is taking a trip down memory lane looking through those old threads, I wanted to devote my signature to say directly to you, I'm sorry. Thank you for letting me be better, NPF.
