 		If kobrosti location is real, and his email is set to that location as well - it's coming from Belgium, which is 6 hours ahead of New York. It would have been 6:20 AM EST.

 		Don't worry about it, think we all figured what went where.
I was just bringing it up for the time reasons. We were trying to find out when the original message was sent out. A lot of people don't post their real info online - but, looks like you did, so it's confirmed - 6:20 am EST was when it was posted.

As for the response, can't wait to see it!
Hopefully things will pick up, and we'll start getting somewhere with the info we have.

My response :

Hm. Iunno what's going on. Something like this wouldn't just happen out of nowhere and on it's own.
Is there anyone you know who would want to bother you like this by making a game out of your personal life? I say 'game' because hidden messages in poems out of nowhere seems like a game, at least in someone's mind. Does the sent poem have any meaning to you or anyone you're close to?


Edit ::

On twitter, I just noticed Jason Woodward is one of the people she's following.
His bio : software engineering director at Cornell. He's being followed by quite a few, and following just as many, but, having email issues, friends with a software engineer, and the guy is in her area? I smell some sort of connection.

 		Just got sent the original email.. Did you guys have these numbers at the end too??

Quote:
here's the text of the email in my outbox:

"the groundhog on the mountaIn did not run
but fatlY scuttled into the splayed fern
and faced me, back to a ledge of dirt, to rattle
hEr sallow rodent teeth like CastaNets
against my leaning down, would not exchAnge
for that wary clatter sound or Gesture
of love : clawS braced, at bay, my currency not hErs.

such mEetings never occur in maRchen
where love-met grounDhogs love one in return,
where straight talk is the rule, whether warm or hosTile,
which no gruff anImal misinterprets.
froM what grace am i fallen. tongues are strange,
signs say nothing. the falcon who spoke clear
to Canacee cries gibBerish to cOarsened ears."

the subject was "plath", I guess 'cause it's a plath poem?

Edit ::

I redid that anagram, because the original had left over letters.

I got "I can see Dr Tim Boye" But, of course the name can be re-arranged. I'll work on that in a moment..

Doctor.. Her uncle ill.. I think it has a connection. We just have to get the name right.

Edit 2::
Using http://home2.paulschou.net/tools/xlate/, I got these results for the numbers.

DC/Char gave me this readout in the base64 box.

 		I've got nothing to hide you know Very Happy

And no, the numbers were not included in my e-mail...

I'm going to send another mail to her, to see what is going on here! Smile

she replied to my previous mail and i got this
Quote:
I... I beg your pardon?




........I didn't send that email. I was still asleep. How could my
email address send emails withough my knowing?

D

pretty much the same!


-----

In her video she says she works in a bookshop? Near "Cornell University" if I'm correct?

and i got this ... http://www.store.cornell.edu/
I guess it is nothing?

On google, search "Bookstores near Cornell University" then hit 'maps'. There's one named Kraftees near it too. Very close compared to the others around it

Edit ::
Got another email back from Adulvize. It's mostly short passes about the anagram. Nothing important as of yet, but I'll keep you guys posted if I get anything. Her twitter says she's going to work on getting that roadtrip video up. I'm sure we'll see something in it.

Edit 2 ::
I was looking back through the messages and caught this
Quote:
Not really. I mean, I like sylvia plath well enough, but it's not
like she's my favourite poet ever.


"Favourite" would be the British-English version of 'favorite'. She didn't sound British in the video... Though, it may just be a typo or a force of habit thing (I used to spell color as 'colour' due to it being a habit.)

Schizophrenia?

 		No clue about that. like I said, it may have just been a typo.

I ran the letters through another anagram thing. Nothing catches my eye, but, someone else may be able to spot something.

 		I asked her about her job and I got this reply

Quote:
yeah, y'know, it's borders, not really a big deal. good enough job,
though, better than working at mcdonald's. Smile

still freaked out by that poem, but I'm distracting myself by fighting
with my camcorder and laptop so I can upload some videos to my youtube
channel. my camera saves them as .asf for some ungodly reason, and
macs won't read those and I can't find anything that'll convert it
properly. Ugh. -_-

sorry, you probably don't want to hear about my technical problems, though.

I replied:

I don't really know if it is any use..
But I looked on the internet and I found out you could use 'isquint' to convert it to a MP4 file!
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/19769/isquint <-- download link.

That might help!

So, do you like poems?

greetings


And last, She replied:D
Quote:
:O! I've been looking EVERYWHERE for a working version of that!
You're a goddess, here's hoping it works.


So she thinks I'm a woman .. great, because I ain't lol
And we might get a youtube video soon! If the converter works! Smile
going to bed now! Cool

Woot! Good work! I'm waiting on the video Very Happy
Maybe I'll actually be useful once that gets out, Feel like I'm hitting my head against a brick wall at the moment.

Edit ::
Looked up the Boarders near Cornell University.
40 Catherwood Road, Ithaca, NY
Google maps says that's 10 mins from the university.

Don't know how useful that is, but, figured I'd post it

 		Something on those numbers... It's three numbers repeated, yet it gives a 4 character repetition when converted to Base64. But if you dump it in the Hex box instead of the decimal you get TEC repeated 42 times. I think this is a better solve. Maybe those fit with the other letter string somehow? (Using the paulschou site again...)

 		Curious as to what this anagram is. Tried running it through an anagram finder but it came out with 64,000 results Rolling Eyes

Trying to refine results with different phrases. So far I Can See and I Can't See don't bring up anything too interesting. Tried it with the TEC added and without. Anybody got any ideas for what other phrases we should be searching for?

 		New video's up: http://www.youtube.com/adulvize

It does a standard little fade to static thing with some weird music in the background and then you hear some weird screaming and then the video picks back up. The same happens a few times throughout
