Converting between different numeric bases can get annoying quickly. You'll find that hexadecimal numbers show up often when you're dealing with bit masks or RGB colors.
Octal numbers must become second nature to you if you're dealing with unix permissions. Binary numbers are a great way to compactly
store sets of flags, but getting them out can get hackish. Finally, decimal numbers is often what you get, but not necessarily what you
need.
By itself nothing here is out of the ordinary, but
I found that by putting these odd little helpful things together, I could save some time every now and then. I hope you find
this as convenient as I did.
I've added some more specific stuff related to RGB colors, IP addresses and unix permissions, but I'm not sure if it'll be that useful.
