Good evening, tonight I decided to do a bit of fun stuff. You know how yesterday I said that no government agency could decode truth. That is true. However, it is not true that a government agency could be notified of the truth existing. Both, mathematically and practically, it is possible for a gov't agent decoding the truth from my message. With that, s/he could find a bogus unconstitutional law to frame me for and have me put in jail. Then, accidentally of course, I could be killed during a jail riot initiated by spooks. It's not like it hasn't been done before, even after the FOIA and the infamous reign of J. Edgar Hoover. One shouldn't be too paranoid since a person who is so mediocre and ignorant is the least of the totalitarian's worries. But if you want mathematical and practical security that no one can read what you wrote, PGP is pretty good for privacy. For example, a diary that no one cares about can be stored and password protected using PGPfreeware 7.0.3. It's not very easy, but if you can figure out the learning curve, you're not broadcasting your message to any loser. However, it does depend on how secure you are about it. I wrote a bit about how a determined person can get your info a while back. I came up with a new one for PGP. Instead of a person, a huge group of people allied against a lot of people including you can decode a lot of PGPs. They can just use their own generator to generate public and private blocks, right? Say that they have a 50 gigakey per second machine on the task. That means that they can also save 50 gigakeys per second. They would have a database (a very large one at that) and would have all the keys. That is where the mathematics breaks down, I would guess. Instead of one in million years, it becomes one per year. Not only that, every new user is likely also in that database. In a year, a very powerful computer could have half of the PGPs in use and half of the ones to be used in the near future. That is what mass use of encryption can do. In fact, it has already been done. The distributed supercomputer has done it, but I wonder if they stored it in a database. Of course they did!
I am not really in the mood for a big long rant. I was at the courthouse all today worrying and I didn't even need to be there. I am going to testify about the events on February 18th tomorrow at 9 AM sharp, they tell me. If I am waiting at 10 AM, I won't be surprised. I can tell you I'm going to get completely drunk on life tomorrow night, though. No alcohol, no money. I'm going to listen to good music and think good thoughts tomorrow night. I'm in a bad mood. Why? Because people are being mean to me. Certainly they are only reflecting my recent bad attitude, but I don't like it. I missed church last Sunday, so I'm going to blame it on that. After this Sunday, I'll be fine. Don't worry. If you want to help me, e-mail me at javantea@msn.com.
Hi, I missed yesterday, I'm sorry about that. News below.* But before I get to personal news, I want to explain this image. The PNG file is different from the JPG file, so look at them both if you want. The PNG file is 8-bit, the JPG file is 24-bit. The difference (other than lossy vs. lossless) is that the PNG file is sharpened using the sharpen filter in Gimp. Why did I do that? So that I could get a superior 8-bit image. You can see how nice it looks compared to this one
Hi there, Here you can see three new fun technologies at work to enhance an old picture. You can originally find that picture at the start of Scene 5. It's a decent picture and it may be the first line that I like in JF. I'm going to be redoing all the script for JF Final to make certain a few things that are uncertain now:
