 		Ok, chat-log (long) posted below. To summarize:

- There was a server crash when the Ideltech guys tried to monitor Doc's actions on the web. We have to wait for the DNS server to redirect to the correct (unstatic) IP now.

- Not much is known of the Doc's location, although Marcus suspects it to be California

- The guys were trying to locate Krystal by using TOBI, although Marcus wanted us to know that they are not doing that anymore.

- They are convinced the Doc either has Krystal or knows something about her whereabouts.

- If the tech-problems are fixed, the interview Part II will be sent out tonight

- Oh and one more thing, Marcus mentioned their hosting company being Kunze hosting in Amboy... that explains the koonzee/Kunze references on all sites...

[20:55] <phensley> yes
[20:55] <Fi> yep - i'm FleaSick on Aim
[20:55] <TheMan> Ok, well that being said, I do take somethings very seriously.
[20:56] <rose> I dunno if you say so
[20:56] <phensley> ok
[20:56] <Mr[W]Doug> such as
[20:56] <TheMan> Anyone guess what any of those things are?
[20:56] <Mr[W]Doug> people messing with your stuff?
[20:56] <neXt2332> Kidnapping?
[20:56] <Mr[W]Doug> your new 'puppy'?
[20:56] <Alaranth> chick drinks?
[20:57] <TheMan> (smile) All those things.... yes
[20:57] <phensley> backstabbing?
[20:57] <rose> servers crashing?
[20:57] <TheMan> Especially the chick drinks
[20:57] <Alaranth> woo!
[20:57] <TheMan> So, I hired a PI to check out the DR.
[20:57] <TheMan> How many knew that already
[20:57] <TheMan> ?
[20:57] <Giskard> uhuh... did that turn up anything?
[20:57] <neXt2332> I'd heard that.
[20:57] <phensley> i heard u did
[20:57] <Giskard> yep, we heard...
[20:58] <Alaranth> Any luck with the PI?
[20:58] <TheMan> Yes, and no. The house was completely empty. Except a server applet in the middle of his living room with power
[20:58] <TheMan> He moved out and was using the house to keep his webiste up
[20:59] <TheMan> Well, I called MArty with that news
[20:59] <neXt2332> ...All that trouble for a website, with just a picture on it?
[20:59] <TheMan> Marty told me, he wouldn't have to know. We could switch the web hosting right out from under his nose and monitor his movement from Kunze Web Hosthing in Amboy
[21:00] * Joins: RAMiles
[21:01] <RAMiles> I do know the prof. knows nothing about Krystal
[21:02] <neXt2332> marcus, do we know where the professor is now?
[21:02] <TheMan> Ok, so we loaded it on to the server only thing was is the site had few more hidden things we didn't know about
[21:02] <TheMan> This caused the server to crash and I am pretty sure by now our non static IP are just floating around
[21:02] <Giskard> ouch
[21:03] <TheMan> We will be up once the world gets caught up to the new IP, but we failed in this little run
[21:03] <neXt2332> So what was on there that was hidden?
[21:03] <RAMiles> what were you trying to do marcus
[21:03] <Alaranth> Ahh, the joys of DNS propagation.
[21:04] <TheMan> I can't say yet..... Some kind of triggered Trojan or Worm or something.... not up to date on my viruses, but Marty sure is, and he is really excited about this one
[21:04] <RAMiles> Marcus have you found anything about the 2nd tobi2
[21:04] *** Quits: myssfitz (Quit: Leaving)
[21:04] <TheMan> Nothing really , except it was a quicker aging not quite replica of the origianl
[21:05] <RAMiles> ok
[21:05] <TheMan> <---- tells ursulla bye
[21:05] <RAMiles> hmmm
[21:05] <TheMan> Any other questions?
[21:05] <neXt2332> Do you know where he's gone to?
[21:05] <TheMan> We will be back up soon
[21:05] * Fi is now known as Fi[DinDins]
[21:05] <RAMiles> when i mention to him about finding his clonse of tobi he acted surprised
[21:06] <RAMiles> clone
[21:06] <TheMan> We think California, but not sure.... we were using TOBi to find krystal, but we think we may have an easier time finding our DR. who we believe has her or knows where she is
[21:07] <TheMan> I need everyone to understand something
[21:07] <TheMan> As far as ANYONE knows, we are NOT using TOBI right now.... ok?
[21:07] <Alaranth> TOBI who? OSmile
[21:07] <phensley> lol
[21:08] <neXt2332> Understood.
[21:08] <RAMiles> Marcus, I when i asked the prof. if he knew anything about krystal. he said they meet, briefly then last he saw her she was waiting for plane
[21:08] <RAMiles> understood
[21:08] <TheMan> If we can't find the Dr. this is a good reason for the $76 mill grant to be revoked. We are risking a lot
[21:08] <TheMan> But we are all worried about Krystal
[21:08] <RAMiles> ditto
[21:09] <RAMiles> I dont see any reason though for the Doc to harm her
[21:09] <TheMan> Reid, calm down, it will be ok
[21:09] <RAMiles> I am calm marcus
[b][21:09] <TheMan> ok, any more questions?
[21:09] <TheMan> I have time for 2 more
[21:10] <RAMiles> <-- Waiting for Transcript to find out what happened
-> [msg(ramiles)] i'll post the transcript on uF as soon as Marcus is gone FYI
[21:10] <TheMan> Will someone get him a transcript after this is completed please
[21:10] <TheMan> ?
[21:10] <Giskard> yep, will do
[21:10] <phensley> ty gis
[21:10] <RAMiles> when do we get part 23
[21:10] <RAMiles> err 2
[21:11] <TheMan> Ok, well if that is it. Thanks Giskard, and if you need me I will not really be available much
[21:11] <Giskard> ok, thanks for clearing up some stuff
[21:11] <phensley> thanks for everything marcus
[21:11] <TheMan> If we get the server back up I will send out Part 2 tonight ok?
[21:11] <neXt2332> Wait, Marcus
[21:11] <Alaranth> Do you know if the Doc knows about the sites being down yet?
[21:11] <RAMiles> ok
[21:11] <TheMan> Good point Alaranth... If we are lucky, no.
[21:11] <neXt2332> Do you know if Melody has found anything on the Professor?
[21:11] <TheMan> He also has not a static IP
[21:12] <Alaranth> Oh, good. Considering how unstable he's been at times, don't want him to go over the edge. Especially not with Krystal still missing.
[21:12] <TheMan> I chatted with her a few minutes ago. But I don't feel it is fair to share some of the things that is her job. She sure is having a tough time getting some of the Natives there to talk to her
[21:13] <neXt2332> Understood. Thank you.
[21:13] <TheMan> Ok, well, have a good week. And please, everyone, take care.
[21:13] <Giskard> same to you, thanks again
[21:13] <neXt2332> You too Marcus.
[21:13] <phensley> u2 marcus
[21:13] <Alaranth> Thanks Marcus!
[21:13] <RAMiles> you too marcus
[21:14] * Parts: TheMan


Sorry for the GMT+1 timestamps Wink I trimmed the "unnecessary" bits of chatter out of the log to keep it tidy. Oh and I also trimmed all the dns/ip/mask info, for privacy reasons...

 		Hey,

Just wanted to say that I chatted with the prof earlier and he does know that his sites are down... I had to run off to dinner/family issues, so didn't have a chance to say anything earlier. Here is the convo:

Oh yeah - after he told me "F-You" yesterday, I wrote a sucky e-mail apologising and blaming my sarcastic british sense of humour! He apologised too! Wow - maybe the guy does have a heart Wink

FleaSick: Hey professor. Did you get my e-mail? i am sorry about yesterday
CliffordWorly: Yes. I'm sorry as well. It was just a stressful time for me
FleaSick: That's cool. I didn't want to stress you out any further! Has T*b12 been abandoned completely? Or are you going to try and re-work it and start again?
CliffordWorly: No. It's a failure. It just keeps colapsing in on itself.
CliffordWorly: Right now, I'm trying to figure out who moved my domain
FleaSick: Who do you think did it? T*b1?
CliffordWorly: No clue.
CliffordWorly: But I'm checking all leads.
CliffordWorly: ALL leads.
CliffordWorly: Did you happen to get to the page yet?
CliffordWorly: and please.. refer to Grendel.
FleaSick: No not yet. AFAIK it's still down
FleaSick: OK.. Sorry Wink
CliffordWorly: Ah
CliffordWorly: Hopefully, it will be back up soon.
FleaSick: Yes I hope so
CliffordWorly: I have lots to say and things need to be made clear.FleaSick: Use your group...?
FleaSick: You seem to have some strong support there
CliffordWorly: For the non sensitive things..
CliffordWorly: I have a better method.
CliffordWorly: for the more secure things.
CliffordWorly: It's on the webpage.
FleaSick: How about contacting people directly? I could give you my email, and pass stuff onto the others
CliffordWorly: I have to get going.
FleaSick: OK. Take care Smile
CliffordWorly: To risky.
CliffordWorly signed off at 19:52:34.

CliffordWorly (2:46:38 PM): I had trouble finding it.. but I think I've got it now..

 		Could he be referring to the webpage he mentioned in his Yahoo Group?

 		Hmm just a thought...

Kunze - wasn't he the guy who discovered the car crash in Amboy?

Conspiracy?

Oh, and anyone looked for a web site?
