The boring rants of a lazy nerd

Birthday Challenge

Something horrible happened today. My trusty WD400BB is very ill and not responding. I'm afraid it's fatal. I'm showing it to the doctor tomorrow, and if it doesn't help we'll be forced to pronounce him dead. It can be replaced, but not the (unbacked-up) data on it. That's anywhere between 1-3GB of stuff collected over the years, including stuff by me not available anywhere else. Like, the source code for this blog. FFDB stuff are archived, thankfully, and so are the rest of the very important stuff, but I've lost a lot (phonebooks etc.). It's a sad, sad day.

What I haven't lost is the Official Wolf550e Birthday Challenge I've made yesterday, and I now present to you. Solving it will grant you one full year of special stuff (24/7 tech support included) and rights to bug me. I do believe the algebric method is simpler, but some people are just bad at math. This is kind of a guessing game, real knowledge or skills not required (I'm not going to have you try to break cryptographic military level codes or something). Guess the algorithms (or sites where they're from), decode, repeat. BTW, until I have Word installed, you'll have to tolerate the bad spelling.
