PC Case For Hamsters, EZ Bake Oven in a Drive Bay

ResQuad noted that Slashdot's OSDN Sister site ThinkGeek is selling some exciting new products including a PC Case for Hamsters and an EZ Bake Oven that fits in a 5.25 drive bay. They also have a limited run T-Shirt with a s3kr1t message on it. Lots of other fun stuff too.

    By the way, the super secret message on the T-shirt says
    Yes, we know. More interesting would have been how to decode it. Here's the program I wrote to do it --
    #!/usr/bin/perl -w
    {
    local $/ ;
    $d = <> ;
    }

    foreach (split //, $d) {
    next if ! /^\d/ ;
    $b = $b * 2 ;
    $b++ if ($_) ;

    $c++ ;
    if ($c > 7) {
    print chr($b) ;
    $b = 0 ; $c = 0 ;
    }
    }
    Not meant to be short or pretty, just to decode the message. I'm sure somebody will show how they did it in 2 or 1 lines soon enough. In fact, I'm surprised it hasn't happened already :)

    Am I the only one who noticed the HL2/Doom 3/Halo 2 "Now Shipping/Click to Order" notice on the left hand side of the page? It's a pretty subtle joke compared to the others on ThinkGeek's site...
