Octal-licious

Brand spanking new… ’cause I felt like it ;-)

Octal Translator

Of course, you’re old favorites Binary and Hex are still around too.

So, if one were so inclined, one could take some text, encode it into binary, then hex, then octal (rinse and repeat as needed) and have a very, very obfuscated (and large) bit of gibberish on their hands. The trick is getting the other person to figure out what you did ;-)

Hmmm… Perhaps a tagging system is in order?

e.g.
[BIN]010000100110100101101110011000010111001001111001[/BIN]
[HEX]%48%65%78%00[/HEX]
[OCT]117143164141154[/OCT]

I’ll give it some thought!

Want Gmail?

Do some good and you might get lucky!

It’s really an interesting phenomenon surrounding this whole thing. People selling invites, asking for haikus/random acts of kindness/etc. in exchange for an email account. And more surprising, people doing insane things to get them. It’s a genius PR move on Google’s part (intentional or not).

Who knew office supplies could be so entertaining (ok, every office worker ;-) . The outtake reel is the best, but watch the commercial first!

Sick as a dog

I’ve been feeling like crap for the last week. Saturday the 29th was the worst, but every day since hasn’t been a walk in the park. I went to the doctor on Friday since I need to be better before Mexico (June 17th) although I feel like I’m already in Mexico with the state of my stomach.

Anyways, the doc gave me some antibiotics, a limited diet, and ran some tests. I’m feeling better, but not great. Depends on the day, and how adventurous I get in my eating.
