Knowing the fairly simple morsecode system i have taken it upon myself to learning the binary system

i have 12 letters and "space" symbol (00100000) memorised now but i think the big problem is gonna start when i get to symbols.. i know its completly useless knowledge but its kinda fun to know

anyone else here know it?

Neilson when I was going through basic electronics course we actually had to add and subtract binary numbers....why.....just to do it.

Binary is not that hard to do but it does get a little trickier when you start to get into hexadecimal.

Really it is rather usless now. Only the very basics of circuits (wich are usually miniaturized now) will out put anything that you can actually read w/ an o'scope. have fun though

Why would symbols be any more difficult than letters? They're all 8 bits.

well ra....there are so many odd symbols that i hardly ever use with typing "normal" way so they are to abstract.

^¨'*-¨¨ ...etc

hehe, wasnt planning on using it for anything but fun and trimming the mind while on holiday... it tends to slow down even more then usuall when im out in the sun all day

anybody know where i can find a "binary typewriter"?

the one i use now is online, and id love to have a little FREE offline app that translates my typing to binary

Depends on the character set.

If someone momorizes the Unicode set, I'll be impressed

lol ra

noone got a link to an offline app?

Wow, you are really gonna impress the girls with your knowledge of binary code. I would spring it on them early in the date, start discussing how interesting the binary code is and how you can use it. Doing so will probably save you the cost of a meal, as she will immediatly remember something critical that she must leave to do, or she will remember someone dieing she needs to go see immediatly.

Some of the other great uses for your new hobby:

Putting on a resume under "hobbies" or "interests"

Having it read some sad day when you are eulogized "knew the binary code"

Learning is never a mistake.
