Fan Creations / Re: "Distortions" is Here!

« on: September 11, 2013, 12:27:15 AM »

Until two hours and 25 minutes ago, it was my birthday. Someone on the internet (honestly I'm not 100% sure who) took note of this fact, as my birthday is the same as his/her birthday, and bought me a copy of Distortions as a gift. So, I have it now. I'll likely read it tomorrow, once I'm awake again.

I dunno, I'm pretty interested in the Mr. Fusion Home Energy Reactor. It'd be useful, even if incredibly dangerous.

My only real complaint upon hearing about this was that it sorta does away with the ability to carry it in your pockets easily. Then I thought about it for a minute, and realized that one couldn't really carry the first Game Boy in their pockets easily either, which really didn't hinder it.

Are you still doing this crazy thing? I'm interested to see how it's working for you six months on.

Why should any of us know why there hasn't been a new one?

As of today, I've been with my girlfriend for a year. Out of two relationships, this is the longest I've been in one. It's a bit exciting.

Forum Games / The power of encryption!

« on: August 15, 2013, 12:23:53 AM »

The internet is a wacky, dangerous place. To keep your sensitive messages away from prying eyes, several encryption schemes have been developed. One well-known method of encryption is the public/private-key method. In this system, the sender and recipient of a message both have a public (available to anyone) and a private (kept secret, for the owner's use only) key. To send a secret message using this system, the sender encrypts the message with the recipient's public key, and the recipient decrypts the message with his own private key. This way, only the designated recipient can read the message.

One implementation of the public/private-key scheme is PGP, which stands for "Pretty Good Protection." A program to generate and store PGP keys, as well as encrypt messages, can be found at http://gpg4win.org. This program (actually a suite of programs) runs on Windows. (If you're using Linux or Mac, I'm not 100% sure what you can use, but I probably can find out if need be.)

Since a program which allows you to easily encrypt messages is so easily available, let's have a secret-message party! Get yourself a key, and send some messages to people! You'll need their public keys, of course. The fun will be in figuring out who a message is for, and whether or not they're willing to share it once it's decrypted.

My public key is as follows:
