Of course, lack of whitespace does mean that the typo in there foxed me for a few seconds.

Oops.
I'm guessing there's a site that goes the other way too out there somewhere!

[andrewducker]

And then makes guesses as to the word start-ends, presumably.

I can read it reasonably quickly though.

If you'd used an earlier album then you would have done...

I can read it, but I don't understand why you (or others) find it particularly amusing or interesting... ?

[andrewducker]

as a fairly active haiku enthusiast, i invented username haiku acrostics, which was popular for about two hours. generally, they should reflect who the person is. here's one made for you, based on me assuming your motto is 'Every day a new adventure!':

a new day, rays east.
welcome dawn's ululant crow:
know everything rocks.

perl -pe's/([a-z])[-a-z]* ?/$1/ig'

(encoding would be more of a golfing challenge, I expect)

Now why didn't I think of that? I did a total mental Newton's catflap and figured in my head you'd need a lookup to translate Alpha into A ... *sigh*

The other way round would just be something like:

join ' ', map {$lookup{lc($_)}} split(/(\b|\s+)/ $_);

where %lookup is a hash of letters to words.

BTW, your puzzles app works on Snow Leopard and those games are craaaaaaaaack!

November Oscar.
