Quantum Of Everything

"The Code Book" by Simon Singh is now into quantum stuff, mecahnics and computing with the Schrödinger's Cat quantum superposition by placing a cat in a sealed box with a vial of poison. Because the poison's release depends on a random subatomic event, the cat is theoretically both alive and dead until the box is opened. Quantum computing can be viewed as the superposition or a multiverse vision. Needless to say, my brain is getting a little fried.

Pretty Good Privacy

"The Code Book" by Simon Singh is moving into privacy for everyone in personal emails instigated by Phil Zimmermann and hi swife, but resulting in arrests when he was invoved in anti-nuclear protests. He had decided to move to new Zealand when he thought Nuclear War was inevitable , but then decided to stay at home and protest and create PGP.

Ever More Complex

"The Code Book" by Simon Singh is now introducing more complex cyphers and codes with symmetric and asymmetric keys and prime numbers that are so big that they just blow the average person's mind (that's me, in case you were wondering). Often, the ideas seem to jump out of nowhere, and every code sets a challenge for the codebreakers. We have been across the USA but are now back in GCHQ Cheltenham, with so many names that I am lost. The book is excellent, and I keep wanting to know what happens next.

Colossus

 "The Code Book" by Simon Singh has now reached the genesis of computing, with electronics replacing mechanical calculation machines. ENIAC is often thought of as the first computer, but before that was Colossus, which outperformed previous code-breaking engines. Then at the end of the war, the British authorities destroyed the machine and its blueprints. The idiocy of management in the name of secrecy.

Egyptology And A Cartouche

"The Code Book" by Simon Singh is now going into archeology, specifically the translation of Egyptian Hieroglyphics and types of language associated with them, including the function of the cartouche.

The accidental discovery of the Rosetta Stonene with it's hieroglyphics, Coptic and Greek equivalent sections was particularly important.

Navajo Code Talkers

"The Code Book" by Simon Singh is set during World War II, as scientists attempted to make codes more unbreakable. Navajo Code Talkers were a specialised group of U.S. Marines who created and utilised an unbreakable, unwritten code based on the complex Navajo language. Their vital communications and tactical transmissions in the Pacific Theatre significantly aided Allied victories and helped save thousands of lives.

Conceived by World War I veteran Philip Johnston, the program utilised bilingual Native Americans to communicate battle plans, as their complex indigenous languages lacked published dictionaries and were completely foreign to enemy cryptographers

Over 420 Navajo men ultimately served as Code Talkers throughout the conflict.

Vocal's Car Crash Upgrade

When someone promises a new upgrade to improve a sysem it should be tested and seamless, and it should work.

I haven't used the new editor and I don't like the look of it, but that is fine, I will get to know it, when I get the chance.

The thing is Vocal is the finest publication platform and has a great community atmosphere but they have now added a verification step.

And there are over 700K users which means the Verification is overloaded, and I can't get on to be verified, despite being a Vocal/Stripe member for five years.

So at the moment a lot of people cannot use the system because of the amateurish implementation.

There has been no real announcement about this apart from the platform would be offline.

Verification stops us from editing, publishing and basically locks people out of the system, even though they are paying a subscription.

So it is a case of waiting and hoping and getting back to something like normal.
