By cryptography I refer to alternate expressions of communication, at least compared to most people who limit their means of communication expressions. My most commonly used method is a certain code where every possible set of two colours are combined to get thirty six combinations, which are then each assigned to one of the twenty six letters or one of the ten one-digit numbers, equaling thirty-six. Any object can be a form of communication if you try hard enough.
Oh, that kinda cryptography. I used to mess around with that stuff too. I had one where the letters in the alphabet were correlated with the order in which the letters followed each other on a qwerty keyboard e.g a is to q, b is to w, etc. But i have to say using colours is very creative.
So, what’s obvious to me is that a lot of your hobbies are a form of creative expression. Do you feel like a creative person at heart, and how does that influence your interactions with the outside world?
Yes, fully. I’ve thus far appreciated the power to tap into the creative side of me to unlock new hidden paths in a one road world. In my line of work, which involves a lot of question-asking, it’s also a knack someone would be at a disadvantage without.
Lord of the Rings, the Game of Thrones movie, the fourth Matrix.
Game of Thrones is based even though they ruined the last 2 seasons. Still haven’t gotten the time to watch LoTR though.
The fourth matrix? That’s an unpopular choice. I’ve yet to meet someone who enjoyed that last movie. They should’ve left it at the 3rd one.
I watched the first three a while ago but they felt dragged on and not very eye-opening. The fourth one had a good sense of interpretation to it.
Interesting. What are some of your other passtimes?
Photography, anamorphosis art, various other forms of art (I tend to jump between these), and cryptography.
A lot of interesting stuff here. When you say cryptography, do you mean you enjoy PGP signing your messages, or is that your job?
