It reminded me of Revolution 9 also, except HatShoe typed it exactly 9 times. Which I like. I am a freak about numbers. It also reminded me of a Soul Coughing song.

ETA: the other thing that I can't quite get my head around is this. The response of "I thought you would have been the first" could have been regarding the word engine. If that is so then it leads me to believe I am the closest to perfection. That couldn't be further than the truth, though.

Also, semicolons *are* precious things

Interesting theory. The problem is that I excel in interaction rather than solves. My mind is working, however.

[jaeger138]

Movies theory is interesting, but I'd like to expand that to movies and games, we have Scribblenauts, Elder Scrolls, X-Com and possibly Rome: Total War. The question is why? I can't figure that part out. What does it all lead to?

Whitecross, I'm as confused about the 'solution' comment also. I asked what he meant and which solution he was referring to, and also what to do with it but I don't expect a straight answer.

Also, I wouldn't get hung up on the movies thing being the solution either, that would only hold true if hatshoe is reading these forums. I think it may be something in the emails that lisa sent that's led him to say she is the closest, but I have no idea what. This one's awfully cryptic and non-explanatory isn't it?

I like the movies/games theory, something seems to be related in there, but then how do you explain entries like "full"? Unless it's a quote from a movie. Or "terror"? I've looked long and hard for references to that quote and not found any. So either it is a quote from something obscure (maybe a game?), or it's made up for some purpose. Either we take it at face value or we assume it hides some sort of code. We haven't found any intrinsic code, so perhaps it only means something when combined with the other pages, but if so I can't see how.

I've been emailing back and forth with Mr. Shoe but haven't learned anything useful yet.

[fezzik]

Is "Voice" equal to "Stranger Than Fiction"? That's the first thing I thought of.

[teh_lisa]

Anyone notice the most recent tweet from the watcherofcarl? He is going away. I emailed to ask if I could watch Carl. Maybe that is what he means by I am closest?

Another idea:

In xcom.html you can find this: " If you want to do something creative punctuate my sentences for me you swine "
I looked over the docs concentrating on spelling. What if correcting the punctuation is the key ? Let´s say you find a missing point at the end of a sentence and note it, you find a missing comma in a sentence and note it.
Doing this for the docs in the right sequence may yield a morse code.
I´ll give it a try, but as I´m german, I will most likely fail epically.

Besides, this would fit teh_lisa being the closest as she was the only one referring to punctuation in her mail-contact with hatshoe.

P.S.
Does anybody know a tool or an applet that can transform numbers into letters ?
In such a way that I enter a n-digit number and the tool will break it into pairs and yield a letter sequence, where A=01, B=02,...,Z=26 .

Thanks in advance

I'm far too exhausted to contribute any good advice, but I'd like to post before I forget, and second Fnord's idea about punctuation, cheer on teh_lisa for bringing it up, and agree with the movie/game compilation idea.

I've got nothing so far, but I promise to sleep on it ^_~*

But it doesnt look like there is much to learn from this...

[teh_lisa]

I almost wonder, now, if this is someone I know. If punctuation and grammar are the answer, they thought I would be the first because I am a grammar nazi. Tomorrow I get to correcting, I guess.

The "Love" entry reminded me of The Collector, by John Fowles.

Its an amazing book.

Two new updates, Peaches and Hatshoe. Peaches doesn't seem too interesting (although it does have a new style of writing the logo that I don't think we've seen before). Hatshoe, on the other hand, mentions that he's gotten an e-mail (from one of us?); in the source code is the message:
