This is a test... OK it is a challenge. I know there are multitudes of smart people who lurk and post here on FR. Well I've been dabbling in Ciphers and Codes.
Why? Because a number of years back someone gave me the Cryptonomicon as a gift. It is a novel by Neal Stephenson. The story is hilarious yet based on actual historic fact. Places like Bletchley Park and people like Alan Turing loom large in the novel. If you are not familiar with the name or place it was where England broke the Enigma Code of the Germans in World War 2.
Anyhow after I read the book several times I got the cipher bug and have been messing around with them to see if I could make a simple cipher/code that is hard to break.
So you will hopefully find below my first public attempt. Have at it!
Good luck!

Can’t help you with the code, but wanted to express my $.02 on how great a book that is. Also the trilogy by him: The Baroque Cycle. Not an easy read, but a truly masterful opus.

"Drink....Your....Ovaltine." I came very close to riffing that for the first test but I knew Freepers would pounce on that one like a Chicken on a June bug!

The language is that of Mordor, which I will not utter here. But in the common tongue it reads "The power almighty rests in this lone ring. The power, alrighty, for doing your own thing. If broken or busted, it cannot be remade. If found send to Sauron (the postage is prepaid)".
