I've always been fascinated with encryption. And, by always, I mean since the age of 7. That's when I "invented" my first encryption method.

I've been away from my blog for quite a while. Things have been pretty rough at work and at home for me. And as if that wasn't enough, on April 2nd I woke up at 06:30 with a strange stomach ache, like my gut had swollen so much it was about to explode. As it turned out later that day, I had every reason to worry about: I had acute appendicitis.
