A thought struck me like a hammer a few days back to bring together two great things: encryptions, and blogs. No thumbs’ codings or anything noticeable, they’ll be up hidden in plain sight. Fortunately, the hammer strike didn’t hurt.

The first two codes I will use are not created by me. They are real codes employed commercially. Of course, I’ve added a few twists.

Clues for Code 1:

  1. Go to http://www.vladinscode.5u.com (please pardon the pop up ads… I’m too cheap to buy ad-free web space)
  2. Ignore the filler and find the two hidden links to the download page. (hint: the first hidden link is on the main sight… remember that some of the best hiding places are out in the open)
  3. If you’ve gotten this far and are not able to download the files, then comment here with the key on the download page and I’ll show you a way to not have to download them.
  4. After downloading the files, double-click VB.bat to construct the code white-papers. Then, comment here with the unencoded message above.

The site you were on was created by me. Naturally, nothing on it is true at all… not the name, age, descriptions - nothing. It was solely for the purpose of this code.

The code is too simple to use once you’ve found out how, so I’ll use it sparingly. The second, to be published if this one is ever cracked, is much harder.

Where did it go?

Aaaaah! It was only the afternoon a few minutes ago! Now it’s late at night! Where did my time go!?
I need to create some sort of schedule to regulate my day. Unfortunately, that’s rarely helped in the past. An incentive would be nice, except I really can’t reward myself. This will definitely take some consideration…

(By the way, while I was writing this, I noticed that the phrase ‘Ah’ is very universal:

  • Ah - I’ve found something out
  • Ahhhhhh - A sigh of pleasure
  • Aaaaaaah - A frustrated shout
  • Aha - The cry of catching someone in the act of crime
  • Hah! - Another way of catching someone or when you’ve figured something out
  • Ahahahaha - A villain’s chuckle

Interesting? I thought so, anyway.)
