-''To decode my notes, start with the cipher text I provide here and match each letter, in sequence, against the numbers supplied in my note, "[[Ruminations on Portal Creation]]".  Shift the letter in the cipher text down the alphabet in a number of steps equal to the number it is paired with.  For example, a D matched with 3 should be shifted down three spaces to get the "true text" G.  If a shift takes you down past Z, the last letter in your human alphabet, simply start counting again at the beginning, with A.  So if the letter W is paired with the number 5, count down five steps to the letter B.
