Well, I finally joined the ACA and just got my membership package.
MEGA COOL! It's a LOT bigger than I expected. Wow!

I can see that this is going to be fun! For those of you who haven't joined yet, their web page is http://www.cryptogram.org/

You can still get the 3 cd set containing all the past issues of "The Cryptogram" from 1932 to 2002 while supplies last.

Yeah, I certainly wasn't expecting that, it wasn't mentioned in the membership benefits, and I don't know if they will be in every package. It's a COOL CD-ROM though! :)

Woo hoo! Congratulations! I know you'll really enjoy it!

I remember they sent me the code book CD a few years ago out-of-the-blue, same with the Cryptogram issues. Those CD's with the back issues are really cool, too. I'm always looking back at past articles on various ciphers I am working on trying to get additional ideas.

What NOM did you choose, Donald? I'm also ROT13 in the ACA.

I'm Kilarin. Thats the Nom I usually use on the web.
Actually, the only reason I DIDN'T use it here was that my first few posts were entering into a discussion about a certain cryptography product. On Sci.Crypt folks who criticized the said product had been victims of various attacks. Spoofing, DOS, etc. Not that you could prove there was a connection, of course, and there may not have been. But, I had some software out attached to the name Kilarin, and I didn't want the guy who was kind enough to host it to be victimized because of my loud mouth. So, at that point I figured my first name was actually MORE anonymous than my NOM. :)

Although there ARE other Kilarin's on the web, which is odd, since I THOUGHT I had made it up, but, there is nothing new under the sun.

Well, I hadn't been sending in sols for a while and I decided to get back into it. For September-October, I managed a * for everything but the SS (specials) category. I couldn't solve three of the Analyst Corner ones. I did get one of them some time after I sent in my solutions. For November-December, I decided to attack the AC first, and I have all but 1. I'm almost done with cipher exchange, too.

It used to be that I couldn't keep up with them, now it almost seems like they don't come frequently enough!

Otherwise, is there any policy stopping swedes from joining?

Nice, the membership fee was not expensive compared to what you get. ^_^
