Rainman Interactions

[hkdl]

Side winder came on IRC for a second then went off, so I messaged him on AIM.

New puzzle, it seems. Sidewinder logged on IRC for a minute and asked me to pass on a message.

I think it's the location of a Rainman flyer.

Bata Library. Reference. Bard's/Shakespeare's Bible?

Edit: Found the location. Anyone in Canada?
Thomas J. Bata Library, Trent University,
1600 West Bank Drive,
Peterborough, Ontario, Canada K9J 7B8
Phone: 705-748-1011

And it's in one of these two books, this book, or this book. It's probably one of the first two.

Edit2: Okay, that site really doesn't like links. Go to http://cat1.lib.trentu.ca:81/uhtbin/cgisirsi.exe/Lj6NutFAvm/132080023/60/82/X and search for 'Shakespeare Bibliography' in the first box.

The bata library is at Trent University in Peterborough, ON. anyone close to there?

We talked with Rainman and tried to extract some information about their plans...

* RodgerRainman has joined #wildfireindustries
<RodgerRainman> Hey everybody
<Kitten> hi!
<Kitten> how have you been?
<RodgerRainman> Good
<KnightWhoSays_Ni> hello
<Kitten> glad to hear
<Kender> wodja!
<Kitten> i've been dying to ask you something, mr. rainman
<RodgerRainman> What?
<Kitten> what do you make of the new rainman website?
<Kitten> its contents is rather...ummm...unusual
<RodgerRainman> Unusual? How?
<Kitten> well, the talk about betting on the suicide, stabbing secretaries
<sux0rbiscuit> Finally someone more pleasent than that dreaded assistant
<sux0rbiscuit> Also, there is a mysterious newsletter sign-up box that appears then disappears in about three frames
* RodgerRainman has left #wildfireindustries
<Kitten> hi
<RodgerRainman> Oh, that quote.
<Kitten> yes
<Kitten> it seems rather distasteful
<RodgerRainman> Sorry, I had to hunt for it. I hadn't read all the site yet.
<RodgerRainman> I'm not actually sure about that.
<RodgerRainman> Something tells me it's just a joke.
<Kitten> i hope so
<sux0rbiscuit> Also, there is a mysterious newsletter sign-up box that appears then disappears in about three frames
<sux0rbiscuit> Is there plans for a newsletter?
<RodgerRainman> I never saw that.
<Kitten> but it isn't very apropriate for a corporate site
<Kitten> and doesn't create a good image for the company
<RodgerRainman> Maybe Bart's just trying to scare off the weak harted.
<RodgerRainman> You'd have to ask him
<RodgerRainman> As for the newsletter, I'm betting on bug.
<sux0rbiscuit> We would, if he ever showed up
<sux0rbiscuit> ok
<Kitten> then i must be weak hearted
<Kitten> lol
<sux0rbiscuit> I like you Mr. Rainman, Ms.Viper is unneccisarily rude
<sux0rbiscuit> Is there a lot of Ms. Vipers in the company
<RodgerRainman> Now that I look at it, the quote seems more figurative.
<RodgerRainman> No.
<RodgerRainman> I just needed someone to keep me focused.
<sux0rbiscuit> You prefer the militant figure for that?
<RodgerRainman> Would you slack off with her just outside the door?
<KnightWhoSays_Ni> no
<sux0rbiscuit> I would probably throw a stapler at her head, because her and I do not get along
<Kitten> brb
<KnightWhoSays_Ni> even if you don't get along, you should at least show some restraitn
<KnightWhoSays_Ni> *restraint
<RodgerRainman> That woman would probably catch the stapler and wing the staples back at your crotch
<sux0rbiscuit> probably
<sux0rbiscuit> How do you feel about Mr. Sindwinder as the new leader of your empire?
<RodgerRainman> Nobody would be better even if I apointed them myself.
<sux0rbiscuit> Even if you had a son?
<RodgerRainman> Even if.
<RodgerRainman> He's the closest I've ever had.
<sux0rbiscuit> Wow, that is a great amount of trust
<sux0rbiscuit> I have not had the pleasure of talking with him yet
<sux0rbiscuit> To be honest, I know very little about your company
<RodgerRainman> I'll try to tell him to come on. He's a better rep then I am these days.
<sux0rbiscuit> My computer engineering work needs to go somewhere
<RodgerRainman> Like I said, I'll see if I can get him on here. He's had a few crisis to deal with lately.
<KnightWhoSays_Ni> really? I'm sorry to hear that
<sux0rbiscuit> Can you give us any information today?
<RodgerRainman> If anyone could deal with it. It's Bart.
<RodgerRainman> Sorry. All the problems are in classified projects.
<sux0rbiscuit> No, just on anything
<sux0rbiscuit> general information
<RodgerRainman> Don't know really. I know he hopes to launch Umbrella in the next few weeks.
<sux0rbiscuit> Will you all need help in a beta release?
<sux0rbiscuit> Is that what we are for?
<RodgerRainman> Well, as far as I know, you'll be using the beta. I hope it's a little more functional that the Alpha was.
<sux0rbiscuit> When was the alpha test?
<RodgerRainman> We're just finishing it now. Some of the employees and myself were the testers.
<sux0rbiscuit> Is everyone uninjured?
<RodgerRainman> Yeah. Why wouldn't they be.
<RodgerRainman> It's just a web system.
<KnightWhoSays_Ni> so, what exactly does this web system do?
<KnightWhoSays_Ni> or is that "classified"
<RodgerRainman> Not completely sure, only a fraction of the features were enabled last time I was on.
<sux0rbiscuit> Well, Storm Spire seems like an odd place
<RodgerRainman> I know they WANT it to patch into the company Credit Union. And they want an email.
<KnightWhoSays_Ni> what are the current features then, i would like to know a little about what i'd be working with
<RodgerRainman> The email was sortta working last time. A web board like thing, news posts with internal information.
<KnightWhoSays_Ni> cool
<RodgerRainman> Stuff that only employees should care about.
<KnightWhoSays_Ni> i understand
<sux0rbiscuit> So this will be a business operating system?
<Kitten> back
<RodgerRainman> Yeah.
<sux0rbiscuit> wb Kitten
<KnightWhoSays_Ni> hola
<Kitten>
<sux0rbiscuit> We still can not find your fliers
<sux0rbiscuit> Do you have a digital one, or more hints for us?
<cornetchap> hi all
<KnightWhoSays_Ni> hello
<RodgerRainman> I have NO idea where they went or what they look like.
* Jules has joined #rainman
<Jules> *looks around curiously*
<sux0rbiscuit> oh
<sux0rbiscuit> Because we can not find it at all, last we heard it is in Canada
<sux0rbiscuit> and Canada is really far away
<KnightWhoSays_Ni> yes, at least from where we live
<RodgerRainman> You mean, we don't have ANY potential employees in Canada?
<sux0rbiscuit> you might
<KnightWhoSays_Ni> i don't know, you might
<sux0rbiscuit> But we don't know anyone on
<sux0rbiscuit> *in Canada
<Jules> maybe we can find some democrats willing to emigrate!
<sux0rbiscuit> so we are getting limited information
<sux0rbiscuit> It's too cold
<KnightWhoSays_Ni> sux could
<RodgerRainman> Whats cold? Canada?
<KnightWhoSays_Ni> yeah
<KnightWhoSays_Ni> it's all icy and stuff
<KnightWhoSays_Ni> actually, i wouldn't mind it
<RodgerRainman> That's nothing, try dogsledding in the Artic.
<sux0rbiscuit> Have you before?
<cornetchap> Rodger, who in Rainman would know about the flyers and making them available digitally? Would that be Miss Viper?
<sux0rbiscuit> I will ask Ms. Viper I am obviously her favourite
* sux0rbiscuit rolls his eyes
<RodgerRainman> maybe.
<RodgerRainman> I'll try to get her to be nice for that.
<RodgerRainman> No promises
<KnightWhoSays_Ni> heh
<cornetchap> Ta
<cornetchap> understood
<RodgerRainman> Anyway, I'm off. Got stuff to do.
<RodgerRainman> Where's my fishing rod?
* RodgerRainman has quit IRC (Quit: )
