Salutations,
You've already said that you assigned your voice to various things-like right now, you're basically having a conversation with yourself.
But who would ever suspect that they were no longer the mind behind the other end of their internal conversation.
The other voices have become self-aware.

THE DOUGHBOYS,
It's them isn't it? They're not mine anymore, are they? That's who it's working through.
And they're getting stronger- I saw them moving around on there own. And I get weaker- more confused.
AAAAAAAGH!! FFUCK!!!!! FUCK, SHIT, AND OTHER SUCH EXPLETIVES!! AAAAAAKK!
ohhh... "sniff"... I wish... I wish someone would just switch me off and... fix me.
Bunny?

Yes, Nny?

I'm not happy.

I don't encrypt things, but I'm seriously thinking about starting to do so.

Salutations,
just because i argue with myself, worry about van-ech phreeking, and worry about people tapping my email, doesn't mean i don't have a need for encryption... I mean don't the rest of you read files through pulsing the caps lock key in morse code? (i don't actually...)

Suuuuure you don't (like we haven't heard that one before) :)

Edit:

I tried PGP Freeware with the email and ICQ plugins, and the only thing it did was completly disable my internet access until I reinstalled windows =(

Salutations,
I don't use the Email/ICQ plug-ins. If i'm going to do encrypted IMs, i use the 'Secure IM' feature of Trillian, as for emails, i make a .txt document, encrypt it, open it up, copy & paste. (i use an web based emailer).

One problem with trillian... it's a joke to get your password out of it. Their password encrypting (in their user.ini files) is terrible, and if someone can grab the file they've got your password.

I have an application I wrote with 6 different 9-pass encryption algorithms in it. I use it to encrypt e-mail messages I send to friends/co-workers and also to encrypt chat sessions I have with my friends at work. If anyone wants it I'll give you the basic version which allows for a key of up to 256 characters and generates a unique alogorithm based upon the key length, value, words, and phrase.

Cheers,

Domosan
