Ha, I've had this argument with multiple roomates. Sadly, that's not even close to the nerdiest thing I've ever done.

By the way, it's clearly choe-kuh-boe.

Kinda Nerdy:

Rather than spend the 30 seconds to fill out and add up my paper timesheet I wrote a PHP script where I could enter all of my hours and have it calculate everything and spit out the form.

More Nerdy:
I wrote it in vi over ssh.

Very Nerdy:
I started storing the info in a database so I could run silly reports every once and a while. I also started making it send me e-mails about how many hours I had during a pay period and how much I was going to be paid.

If I hadn't done it all hackjobed and procedural I might have something useful on my hands. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I participated in user testing of an Infocom game. It was in the guise of a contest - three-people teams in an all-night game playing contest, first team to solve the game won some kind of prize or other. Lead programmer was there, taking notes on where everyone got hopelessly stuck, to find out where they needed to give more clues.

Yes, I realize this dates me terribly.
