The strength of your encryption depends on what methods and trailing evidence you decide to leave in your cipher technique. If you used something like polyalphabetic key ciphering techniques, a cryptanalyst might be able to identify statistical patterns or some other key piece of information, like padded text. Of course, at first I was thinking you might be doing some kind of factoring based encryption a la RSA, till I sorted the strings (attempting to do a statistical analysis) and saw the frequency of hex characters. And of course, you have the advantage of being the encrypter and not the code breaker.

I'm not much of a code breaker, and without much to go on I'm just doing standard code breaking practices. Right now I'm assuming some kind of hexadecimal cipher in the original string since all it is is just a series of 0-9/a-f and random /.\.

Well, building computers and general computer-related activities are the main one. Writing software is the other big thing (open source developer, all works in progress). Also getting into photography again. I don't like photographing people, just stuff like cityscapes. Here's one from a week ago when the weather was actual good and the temps weren't 95+ http://msgaddict.com/images/qadams.jpg

I like the Canon Powershot G line - other good choices are the Canon SD400 or A85. Panasonic Lumix FZ10 or a Konica Minolta DiMage are good too - the DiMage line has cameras that offer 10x optical zoom (no digital zoom interpolation, yay). Wherever I go though, I bring an SLR. To each his own.

Right click My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced Tab. Alternatively, go to Control Panel -> Double-click System, and then go to Advanced tab Click Settings under 'Performance - Visual Effects, processor scheduling, memory usage, and virtual memory' On the new window, under Visual Effects tab, make sure the box 'Use drop shadows for icon labels on desktop' is checked. Click 'Apply' and there ya go.

Barring you buying a deadtree version (books), there is a large variety of resources on the net. TCH-David has already linked to W3Schools, here are some others that might be helpful... http://www.htmlgoodies.com/ http://www.tizag.com/ http://www.webmonkey.com/
