Hi, I’m in the middle of reading Microserfs, and when I got to pages 104 and 105, I found that they only contained ones and zeroes. There are two possibilities (a binary) for these two pages. Either the author merely a series of random ones and zeroes for aesthetic (or artistic) purposes, or the ones and zeroes have meaning, intended to be read by people possesing the techincal knowledge to decode it.
With this second idea in mind, thought the binary in the book might be ASCII. I do not, however, know ASCII.
It won’t decode cornflakes’ post because someone forgot that binary comes in chunks of eight bits, not seven! I fixed it, along with another small error, and smushed it together:
