In case you readers out there are wondering… yes, I did write the above line.
This is just a test to see if I’m able to stump most people in my sometimes-excursions into the world of cryptography. I’m inviting anyone who happens to read this to take a crack at decoding the message. No prize is involved, mainly because I can’t think of any, since I don’t really think it’s the best codework I can do. A government cryptoanalyst would easily be able to decipher the message.
If it’s truly as easy as I think I’ve made it, then someone should be able to decipher it without any technological help. If I happened to make it harder than I thought, well, then that is something to get me thinking of using the technique more often.
This is also a thanks to Wil Wheaton for the insightful blog entry that he posted yesterday on the issue of privacy.
Cheers!
