ak3ldama's Journal: the Ascii table

Today I had a massively lame nerd moment. I was telling my cow-orkers how neat a certain layout of the ascii table was and that it was incredibly useful and what-not. They started laughing.

The layout in particular is from "C Programmer's Guide to Serial Communications", and in particular the ascii table is layed out with respect to the parity bit. (so that it is readily obvious that A (0x41) + (0x20) = a ... and other such neat things.) The layout is 8 high by 16 wide (16 columns,8 rows) and immediately reveals some neat properties of the ascii table. Maybe it's just me but seeing that table was a lightbulb turning on.
