Binary / Octal / Hex site

A site that lets your translate your text into the Octal number system. They also have the same thing in Binary and Hex. Definitions: Octal: "Eight" My Homework! and Hex: Sweet Sixteen. Binary: it's digitalicious! (The binary number system (aka base 2) represents values using two symbols, typically 0 and 1. Computers call these bits. A bit is either off (0) or on (1). When arranged in sets of 8 bits (1 byte) 256 values can be represented (0-255). Using an ASCII chart, these values can be mapped to characters and text can be stored. It's not magic, it's just math!)
