You are wrong. Not just slightly, but badly enough that I
could not in good conscience ever recommend you for any
programming job until I was convinced that you had learned
from your mistakes.
I leave it as an exercise for you to read Applied
Cryptography and figure out how to crack your own
scrambling algorithm. A hint. If you xor 20 times it is
the same as having done one xor. (Albeit against a
different key than any of your original 20.) So it does
not matter how well you have managed to confuse yourself
about what you have done, to an attacker this is an xor,
and if they get 2 messages written in English encrypted
this way, they are going to have little trouble reading
both of them.
Just because you don't see how they can do it, doesn't mean
that they can't. Or even that they will find it
particularly hard.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
