Alright, now I know St Patricks Day, thanks for all the explanations
Life in Germany can be a little bit boring, because we miss so many celebrations...

you German or just living there?
Both. I hope people can't guess it from the mistakes in my postings

Why do you view my profile?
Well, when I happen to run into someone in the lounge that isn't one of the 'regulars', I tend to check their profile and see who they are.

Well, that's an interesting question. A minuite ago I was thinking "who is this person?", now I'm wondering why you want to know what I'm thinking. And the term "righ now" is so elusive! A second ago I was thinking about an answer to your question, now I am realizing that "right now" is continuously changing, and my fingers can't keep up with what I'm thinking... And I don't always think in words and colors, sometimes I think purely in hexadecimal, or binary depending on my hardware implementation and interfaces thereof.

I'm not one of the regulars, damn it, I don't spend enough time here anymore!

That's exactly the point. And you're the first person who notices it
You can't write about what you think right now, because when your fingers start moving "right now" has already moved on and you think about something else.
People who think in words are better of, their think-type-delay is shorter. Translating images to text and text to english text takes a few seconds, and when I'm finished with putting thougts into text, it's all obsolete

Sheesh! You couldn't even begin to imagine my dilemma: I think in abstractions and dynamic sets of neural networks, continually spawning ant-colony algorithm threads to find the shortest route between my thoughts, take the results and run them through an english-language parser, run that output through my vocabulary linker, and finally compile them to executable code that outputs the english text you're reading on the screen right now. Talk about the realtime hit on _my_ OS...

You're better of than me, you have a parser.
I still have not found a language-parser that accepts colours and 3-dimensional shapes as input.
My thoughts are beautiful streams of colours, I can almost watch them shining on their way through my head.
Every input, once it entered my head through one of my input-devices (eyes, ears, nose, internal memory...),
is converted to colourful shapes automatically, processed by 3-dimensional multi channel methods, archived in dynamic memory,
and linked to similar shapes on-the-fly. Every image has a source-flag telling me where it came from.
This flag is very important, because I have to know what came from my ears (it has to be sound) and what from my eyes (has to be light),
from my nose (has to be smell), or from internal sources (may be memories, other thoughts, or ideas).
My memory works just as 3-dimensional and can hold only images with some metadata. Anyway, I got a buffer for text, to make output run a bit faster.
Once a thougt has been processed an is waiting to be expressed, the dilemma begins. I see its complex structure, but I still have to
find the correct vocabulary and build a one-dimensional sentence. If I want to describe a sound, I can clearly see the sound in my mind,
but nobody would understand what I mean if I described the picture. It's the same with ideas for C# programs. I can see the program's
structure, usually those things look very nice in light red and deep blue on white background, but when I want to explain it so somebody,
my incomplete language-parser reaches its limit again and I have to make it look more simple that it is.
That's why I rather grab a pencil and draw my ideas, instead of writing them down. I can also paint sounds, smells, numbers, emotions, .NET namespaces...
Simple words are not complex enough for me, but unfortunately I have to use them to talk to other people.
Statistics by serious scientists say that one (or more) person out of 200 thinks in colours, many of them also hear/smell/... like that, just like me.
Unfortunately these statistics also say, that our colours and shapes are unique, for example the same number looks
completely different for two people. Let two people paint the same sound, and you'll get completely different pictures.
Damn it, I'll need language for all times. Where's my fast, easy-to-use and bug-free parser?

Hi!!
Well i wanted to thank you. i knew such a things exists but i had no idea how to go abt doing it. just one question? y such a restricted set file formats to "encrypt" data. y can't i use jpg for instance.
hope to read more of ur articles on this topic
bye

Hi,
the JPG format compresses the image by changing pixels. Any information hidden in the exact RGB values would get lost.
You should take a look at JPEG/JSTEG[^].

i saw three articles in my rss reader from code project about steganography and i had forgotten for that moment what steganography is so i had a look at the first article and it jogged my memory, i didn't read the article i just skimmed over it and then looked at the bit at the bottom, saw the picture and decided to find out more, i suppose i should read the articles, i can't imagine what i'd use steganography for in a profesional context but it might be interesting to know about

For business use steganography is far too complicated.
It is rather for personal use, if you want to hide a message without showing that you have something to hide I write the articles just for fun, because I like to explore new tricks with file formats.
BTW: The picture at the bottom does not contain any hidden data

I saw the main page of Code Project with your article about steganography and I had forgotten what steganography is.
After read the article .... I feel Curiosity about you.
best regards...from Argentina!

Cool, somebody read the article, not only the first ten lines
Well...I understand everybody who feels curiosity about stegano...but why about me?
Best regards from the other side of the ocean,

Who is Stegano ??? a new memeber
Curiosity has NO EXPLAIN !!! jajajajajajaja
I'm a developer in C#, VB, and SQL Server 2000, working in a consulting company in Argentina.
My work includes Curiosity.....about new technologies, new ways of work in Bu$$ine$$, new articles , and others things that I could adapt for my customers and partners.

So you must be very disappointed because I don't have anything to say

I'm very interested in Cryptography and Steganography.
Plus, I havn't come across a posting from Germany until now (hi neighbour!).
Finally, I DO have a boring day...

Hi,
according to your profile, you're not really my neighbour
For what very secret reason do you need Crypto* and Stegano* ?
|
|
|
|
|
On a european level, I am your neighbour... (AUT)
I'm sorry, but there is no secret reason, just personal interest (That's what they are all trying to tell you...)
I had to write a little thesis for my "Matura", which dealt with Cryptography, inspired by an article in a german pc magazine called c't.
Since then I was facinated by the art of hiding information.
What's your story?

Oh just got the joke.
I just did not alter my profile...
Changes are coming up soon

Laut Profil bist du 'n Ami
I wrote the article out of personal interest, and all the people who give any feedback just read it out of personal interest... Well, if somebody had a non-personal use for steganography, do you think he would talk about it? I'll never know what my code is being used for...
Have you read the latest issue of Technology Review? There's a cryptography-special, and an interview with Whitfield Diffie.
|
|
|
|
|
No, damm it. Sounds kinda interesting, but I havn't got much money, therefore I can't afford Technology Review.
Still is there any way to get the article for free?

I am surprised to see a girl's profile at this site.
I've just read all your unswers and I think that most of them are funny. I really loughed. Thanks for some refreshing phrases.
By the way, why did you shoose the profession of programmer. Do you really like it or it's a just a way of earning money.
Best wishes,

There are many girls on CodeProject. I think some of them have strange nick names, so that you do not recognize them at first sight

You cannot "do programming", have to "be a programmer". I'm sure that somebody who does programming just for the money cannot do his job very well.
I learned Java at home, when I still went to school. Later, when the majority of my class went to different universities, I started my professional programmer's life as an apprentice at a software house. Java, ColdFusion, Delphi, HTML - that was my life for three years. Now my life is something between C# and HTML.
BTW there are many russian programmers in Germany. I'm surprised that you are still at home

You have pretty interesting life By the way, I have quite the same one.
If you wanted to discuss your programming articles, why did you add your picture? It's a normal reaction of every opposite sex person to try talking with you. It's like a challenge.
