Don't know if anyone has seen this, but PANDAS HAVE GREAT EYES - GOOD FOR READING! is in the source code for the bamboo.html page. I tried carrot and carrots just for kicks and just got the 403 page.

A quote (since removed) the ArgenSoft site "My only advice is to stay aware, listen carefully and yell for help if you need it" is from children's author Judy Blume.

Talking to Donovan again. He says he thinks the panda on the double.html page is hiding something. The file sizes are pretty small but I tried to desteg anyway with a few passwords but nothing.
Also, earlier he gave me a link to a page with an INTERCAL compiler ( http://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/intercal/ ) but I downloaded it and can't open the file. *&%^ Vista! Maybe one of you can get it to work?
Here's my conversation with Donovan. I'm pretty sure he's telling me exactly what to do but alas, my brain is fried over the last two days and I just can't concentrate or figure it out.
Edit: Forgot to mention, the source on double.html has changed. It now has a comment "THEY'RE UNDERCOVER!"
Edit again: Donovan came back and mentioned that he wished he had a hex editor. Anyone got one?

You need a C compiler to run the top one. I don't have one personally but I'm in the process of downloading, I tried it last night but it timed out at 80-something%. There's also jintercal if you can figure it out.

I had a hex editor lying around, so...
I looked up the end-of-image code for JPG images, with is FFD9.
So, I opened up panda.jpg in my hex editor, HxD, and searched for FFD9. Then I deleted everything before it and it as well, and saved the file as panda2.jpg. Then I tried renaming it to different audio formats and playing it in Windows Media Player. Once I tried MP3, it worked.
However, my speakers are broken so I couldn't hear it. So I hope you can tell what it says.

Wow, thank you! I got a hex editor and opened it up but I had no idea what to do with it after that. It says:

I know where Nadia is hiding.
ETA: I'm going to email Nadia...
ETA again: My email to Nadia came back undeliverable. Uh oh.
ETA yet again: The site has changed again and it doesn't look good. double.html

Is it just me or has the Double page updated again? I'll see if there's anything hinky with the 'in my sights' picture.

We posted at the same time, haha. Yeah I'm talking to Donovan right now. He's very worried.
Edit: there's a countdown now, just over two days to Nadia's death. We've got to figure out who took her and where they would go.

I tried to do the same thing with the in_my_sights image that Mr. Lurker did with the panda one in the hex editor to get an audio file. I can't get it to work. But I'm pretty sure there's something in the image because the file size does not match the size of the original image from Fotolia. Maybe someone else can try?
