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.

I am still reading "Imajica" by Clive Barker on my Kindle. This is a book I never want to end. When I finish it, I just restart it

The music is "Book Of Rules" by The Heptones

Copping Out With Lee Perry - #ALifeInNumbers #31


This is the first real cop out and there will be a few more before the end. It's 2 am and I have woken up with a horrible raspy dry cough, so what do I do? I make some milky hot chocolate and write a blog post. I normally post on a Friday but yesterday I was tired in the morning after going to see GOAT and Josefin Öhrn the night before which I will write up on Spoongig here and that should appear over the weekend.

Anyway the copy out is that I can't find a "31" song so the best I can do is "3 In 1" by Lee Perry and The Upsetters (or The Heptones according to the Amazon listing) and Dave Wright may point it out that this is a total cop out , but it's my blog, my sequence and my rules and I need to get back to bed. It's also an excuse to get Lee Perry in here so that's fine by me,  I'm just glad I'm not reduced to  X-Factor trash , although they tend to exclusively cover other people's stuff anyway so I would always have the original to fall back on.

Anyway enjoy this and by the time you read this I will probably be tucked up in bed. Have a great Saturday my wonderful friends.
