Summary: toss your key and let them brute force your diary in the future.

Problem: a brute force attack searches on *average* half the key space.
But you might be unlucky and eager 'historians' might find your key sooner.

Solution: repeat the process N times sequentially.  Even if one key is 
found 'early', its unlikely that all will.
