01001000 01100101 01101100 01110000 errr Help!

Today I had a nice away message on my instant messenger thingy that said “I’m not here” in binary code.

(which would be 01001001 01100001 01101101 01101110 01101111 01110100 01101000 01100101 01110010 01100101) if I’m not mistaken…)

However, my smart ass friend gave a message back that I haven’t been able to convert yet. It’s not in the 8-bit form that I used, its in a different one.

the message is as follows:
73 97 109
110 111 116
104 101 114
101

(I don’t know what he said, so it might be something rather vulgar, but then again, it could be something really retarded)

anyone care to help a cow god out?

It’s ASCII code (in base 10) for “I am not here”.

damn, I knew it had to be something easy!

thanks Squink
