What's geeky with knowing fission and fusion? I know it too.
@Kim
The simplest way I know to convert octal to decimal is by multiplying the digit by 8 to the power of its place, then adding the products. It would take too long if you're converting anything more than the thousands though...
Octal to binary is easier. Divide the digits to three parts each and place a 1 under 4,2,1 (bits) that corresponds to the digit.
Am I babbling? >.< Sorry, I just woke up.
Oh, and Howling:
