1st EPISODE DROPPING NOV. ‘19 - (email or DM for inquiries)
—
FACT:::::: I’ve just started using premiere pro in September ‘19 and this is what I’ve been coming up with…… Sometimes God just GIVES YOU eye and ear for all that’s around you!!!!
- I’ve been editing and producing a new cypher/freestyle series called “Bumpboxx Cyphers”.
The creation of such magic is SURELY a tedious process as I am teaching myself DAILY how to do everything you see on screen. -
- This has been a year to challenge myself to climb to higher heights and to knock down goals and milestones. STAY TUUUUUNED!!!!

Years and years ago, I read a book on cryptography that I picked up because it looked interesting–and it was!
But there was a side anecdote in there that stayed with me for more general purposes.
The author was describing a cryptography class that they had taken back in college where the professor was demonstrating the process of “reversibility”, which is a principle that most codes depend on. Specifically, it should be easy to encode, and very hard to decode without the key–it is hard to reverse the process.
So he had an example code that he used for his class to demonstrate this, a variation on the Book Code, where the encoded text would be a series of phone numbers.
The key to the code was that phone books are sorted alphabetically, so you could encode the text easily–picking phone numbers from the appropriate alphabetical sections to use ahead of time would be easy. But since phone books were sorted alphabetically, not numerically, it would be nearly impossible to reverse the code without exhaustively searching the phone book for each string of numbers and seeing what name it was tied to.
Nowadays, defeating this would be child’s play, given computerized databases, but back in the 80s and 90s, this would have been a good code… at least, until one of the students raised their hand and asked, “Why not just call the phone numbers and ask who lives there?”
The professor apparently was dumbfounded.
He had never considered that question. As a result, his cipher, which seemed to be nearly unbreakable to him, had such an obvious flaw, because he was the sort of person who could never coldcall someone to ask that sort of thing!
In the crypto book, the author went on to use this story as an example of why security systems should not be tested by the designer (because of course the security system is ready for everything they thought of, by definition), but for me, as a writer, it stuck with me for a different reason.
It’s worth talking out your story plot with other people just to see if there’s a “Why not just call the phone numbers?” obvious plot hole that you’ve missed, because of your singular perspective as a person. Especially if you’re writing the sort of plot where you have people trying to outsmart each other.

휴 잘생겼어 귀 내는김에 꼬리도 있었음했는데 아쉽네.. 마음같아선 흑구미도 가지고 싶지만 개똥같은 확률에 사람이 적어서 매물도 없다 눈물난다
애초에 저기서 한가닥떼서 늑대꼬리라고 패키지 팔았으면 되잖아 조1귀팀 이놈들아아앆
