bit tips for live md5 count

##18:36 Tuesday 10 March 2015 JST##

The live md5 count thing has been languishing for a while, so I bribed peeps on bittippers to see if anyone would be interested. One guy added one string to the list, and then another guy and I added strings from 127 to 140 in a little less than two hours. Nice!

He said it was an interesting puzzle for him because he's into cryptography. Perfect!

Funny: he also wrote a little cheater in Perl to search for strings. His included just a counter inside a string, so I added a counter to my md5 count cheater as well. It makes for really short strings!

leaving toy store

Using my new verb 手伝う, I asked Shibata if there was anything I could do to help around the store. She was like, "really?" and I go yeah! and ended up helping her make an image of a ship using stackable soft-plastic building blocks.

Shibata said she is leaving the toy store soon. Boooo. She's gonna work somewhere in Tachikawa, so soon it'll be さよなら time.
