I'm rusty but there was a point when I could read both binary and hexadecimal and translate it to decimal without pausing.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I used to say stuff like, "I'm not a computer geek. Computer geeks can read hexadecimal." Then I started reading hexadecimal....
But don't feel bad, Teppy. Somewhere I heard that the half-life for mathematical knowledge is 1.5 years or something....

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I am getting better at reading binary since we made the LED Binary Clock the main time telling device in the living room, but I still have to think through each digit to be sure.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
my brain just sploded all over the monitor.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Heh, Bitches has turned into Binary 101. Sorry, Binary 1100101.

Each column of binary is double of the one to the right, correct? As in 1's, 2's, 4's, 8's etc?
edit: no, that won't work . . .

Yeah, that's right. billytea's number is 1+0+4+0+0+32+64 = 101 in base 10.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Yes, it does. 64+32+0+0+4+1=101
