What have you been up too today?

I've had a fairly busy but good day, a quick dash to the shops, followed by a nice walk with my dog, Fearn, then gardening, I've weeded half of one of the fruit patches, over the next few days I will finish weeding and them fork in some well rotted horse poo and cover it with bark chippings.

Then I will start on the decorative beds and weed all those out and get rid of some pretty but thuggish invaders and add some more plants that I actually want.

The other thing I'm doing is making crab apple jelly, we've had a monster crop this year, I've only picked about a third of them and that was a big pan full, I think anyone who cmes to the hosue will end up leaving with a pot of the stuff.

I will have to make some more chutney from all the unripe and semi ripe tomatoes I took out yesterday, I will put some over wintering onions in their place.

  • Today I got the weekly shopping sorted and managed to get my code to automatically decipher text produced using the autokey cipher to work.

    One problem I had was that there are two versions of the cipher and some of the websites that you can use to produce cipher text produce garbage.

    Whilst trying to work out why my code wasn't working I manually decoded some of the cipher text and found it turned to garbage after 26 letters - I did manage to find another website that worked (using the other version of the cipher) and managed to prove that my code is working.

    I'm not sure if the cipher challenge will use the autokey cipher for one of the later challenges, but if not it was something interesting to have a go at.

    As I think it would be interesting to learn about modern ciphers I'll read a bit more about number theory as something to do when I'm not well enough to do something towards getting my van repaired.
