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.

I had the idea for an easy bake oven a LONG time ago! Linkie

Re:T-shirt super secret message

[dougmc]

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 :)

Even though this story is a joke this guy actualy succeeded in building one.

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...
