After entering a number of different passwords I finally entered "MLO" into the box (without the quotes) and hit the encode button, and voila - the answer.

Well done, Loki. I think you just earned an MVP nomination.

This is my first time contributing and I finally have something worthwhile Very Happy

Thinking outside of the square a bit I decided that the 64 reference might apply to the Base64 converter that I spotted here:
http://www.wc.cc.va.us/dtod/base64/default.asp

After entering a number of different passwords I finally entered "MLO" into the box (without the quotes) and hit the encode button, and voila - the answer.

I still can't believe the password was so simple (after figuring the base64 reference). It now opens up some new leads on the missing people.

WHY? WHY? WHY?

I tried BASE 64 conversions. Embarassed

The dates, the numbers, keywords, and combinations - even "mlo"... Crying or Very sad

but I never converted "MLO". Mad

 		Well, I'm glad somebody finally figured it out. I was about to have a friggin' baby.

Nice work Loki.

Funny thing - the binary that "texel" left us looks like this in this converter:
MTEwMTExMTAxMTEwMDAwMDAxMDAwMDAwMTAwMDAxMTA

I'm not pasting the whole thing because it's going to screw up the formatting of the page, and also because the result depends on whether you "decode" or "encode".


This is because of the algorithm that base 64 uses to encode/decode. Any string of 1's and 0's will look similar.

Damn, you're right (of course Rolling Eyes )!! Hopefully I will get over this sudden feeling of particular self-stupidity and -insecurity soon, lol

 		texel is not a person
I thought you just might want to know: Texel is an island just to the north of the dutch mainland. It's a "waddeneiland"( a group of island to the north of holland, it's the biggest one.) And the text is partially dutch, informing you about the sites and activities on the island.

 		Awesome job LokiNZ! Now I can stop humming "When I'm sixty-four" all day long...

So who else is bothered by the fact that Katherine Cunningham is mentioned yet again ("Sat 11 Kathy's Birthday Celebration") and we hardly know anything about her?

 		Indeed Worker, Catherine is starting to interest me too...

There was a point I tried her name (and also short versions like 'Kathy') for Marcus' password, because I got the vague notion that maybe she and Marcus had something going on (that was a romantic deduction form the fact she walked into his office late at night and (when she stumbled into Beth going over his files Smile )

I forgot to mention: great job Lokinz, congrats!

 		Halloween
Anyone else wondering why on the calender, under Oct. 31, "Halloween" is in blue? Maybe something's happening that day, perhaps?
