Only two hours to translate the latest missive from Mom, at which rate it’ll only take me a few decades to plow through the Tao Te Ching. I find it ironic that I also happen to be reading Simon Singh’s The Code Book at the moment, which has a great chapter about deciphering ancient languages. Been reading a bunch of crytography books lately - I’ve discovered an interest in it after having to deal with software security issues at work, something I’ll rant about later.
