My husband is the coolest! He has created a DECODER on our computer! If you can show me a person, who hasn't at some point in life wanted a decoder of their very own, I'd be shocked.
You might have noticed my previous post on geocaching. To find some of the caches, you have to decode a message. It is a simple code. For instance, G's are always T's, U's are always H's, and R's are always E's. So GUR is actually the word for 'the.'
It is a complete pain, and frankly a little too Boy Scouty for me, to go through and substitue all the letters, especially when there are a lot of words in the clue. Mike created a program in Excel that automatically makes the switch. We just type the whole code into the program, and the translated clue is revealed.
We are on the fast track to a life of intrigue and espionage. Stated another way . . . JR NER BA GUR SNFG GENPX GB N YVSR BS VAGEVTHR NAQ RFCVBANTR.

Hi, you don't know me either, but you left a comment on my blog so I thought I would swing over and return the favor. I would like a decoder of my very own. I think that would be great fun, especially if it works in reverse. You could have hours of fun with email alone! Anyway, The midwest hemmorrhoid treatment center commercial is still one of my favorites. Thank you for stopping by, feel free to drop in anytime!
