010: 032 032 032 032 011 322 010 000

Now when I code in Objective C, a PHP Framework or even plain old C I never forget how much easier programming is now than it once was.

Fuck, you had Octal to work in. Cry me a river.
Back when I started programming we had to do everything in 0's. They hadn't even invented 1's yet
And we liked it dammit
