Yes.
The longer answer: I design all sorts of silly tools in excel at work, and sometimes I see something else I could use excel for. Er...and I'm...a fan of crypto. Pretty much just a hobbyist - I decided that I'd have to become a math freak to really do it well. Simple letter substitution is pretty soft - I probably could have done it by hand, but it doesn't have the feel of elegance when I do that. If you want to make it 1000% harder for the casual puzzle solver, just break everything into 5-letter segments, if that's a goal.

(As far as the general post went, there are worse things. That's not to knock any internal shit, by saying others have it worse - I just embrace the fact that however bad I have it at any one time, there is always something worse. Therefore, I shouldn't take my problems as a permanent, scarring condition. I'm pretty accepting of whatever comes my way - I think even a relationship breakup wouldn't phase me...embrace the emotion of sadness and anger, and know that it doesn't stay forever...and if I didn't feel those kinds of emotions, in those circumstances,I'd be less of a person.)

I'll get around to real golf practice - I just have to plan it ahead of time.
