> The end of Journeyman's story--he didn't get closure, which is part of what made him who he is. And the start of a new thread.

|
||
> We'll see if anyone gets the in-joke about the security researcher's name. 8-)

|
||
>>> When Schneier first started becoming well known, there was a meme for making cryptography jokes about him in the style of Chuck Norris jokes, so I used that for the name of the character based on him.
|
||
>>>
|
||
>>> A good example from the Disqus comments on the chapter:
|
||
>>>
|
||
>>> "Chuck Shiner doesn't know the meaning of the word ciphertext, because to him, everything is plaintext."

>>> Thanks. And I actually did talk to Bruce Schneier once, at a book signing with Neal Stephenson for Cryptonomicon, back in the 20th century 8-). He autographed the appendix of my copy.

|
||
>>> But the in-joke is something else about the name 8-)
