While my wife and I were on our way to dinner last night, I was trying to describe to her a new algorithm I was developing to generate ASCII art. Before I could finish telling her about the novel use of least squares regression, she stopped me short and gave me this idea to post on Half Bakery.-- kevinthenerd, Sep 22 2012 Nerd's anonymous? Someone in the marketing department picks up the phone on their break break?-- 4and20, Sep 22 2012 Did she have exasperated glazed over eyes? Don't worry that's just how pink eye starts, keep talking about esoteric algorithms and get her some antibiotics.-- leinypoo13, Sep 22 2012 This is pretty much the sole reason I come to HB. Maybe we should post phone numbers.-- DIYMatt, Sep 22 2012 Yup, this place *is* Call-A-Nerd.-- blissmiss, Sep 22 2012 There exists a Dail-a-Nerd, but it is a company.-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Sep 22 2012 sp. Dáil na nÉrd-- pocmloc, Sep 22 2012 Not to be confused with Dail-a-lama, which, contrary to popular belief, does not redirect to a switchboard in Tibet.-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Sep 22 2012 It's sort of an ironic idea to call a nerd.-- rcarty, Sep 22 2012 I would be happy to present my number. Unfortunately while I'm a nerd I'm neither particularly bright nor particularly well educated so I wouldn't be helpful. Also there is the matter of specialties. Sometimes a math nerd is needed, sometimes a computer nerd, sometimes a comic book nerd.-- Voice, Sep 22 2012 'Before I could finish telling her about the novel use of least squares regression, she stopped me short and gave me this idea to post on Half Bakery'.
Many a relationship has clearly been saved through the awesome power of this site.-- Phrontistery, Sep 24 2012 So, what is the algorithm? [and I like the idea, if HB users could subscribe anonymously, and talk with anonymoused voice +]-- Inyuki, Sep 24 2012 A Nerd do well-- Lessor Spotted Kiwi, Sep 24 2012 random, halfbakery
