Sarah, you read my mind. Was wondering if we shd wait a couple of days to ask Dreamer as she with your help has been the cornerstone-Wiki-gal. Me with my wacky server are thankfully to you both. And welcome back, Sirannon.

I had a nice chat with Claire yesterday bemoaning England's (lack of) performance in the World Cup.

Are all of the post cards the same as the scan?

London people with postcards: someone suggested trying a blacklight on them, which might well be a good idea. If you don't have one, I suggest we meet this weekend or something since I do have one, and we can check it out and have some drinks in the process.

I also got the text message from O, but alas I'm moving out of London next week most likely, so I didn't really want to give my address as a long-term commitment. So this'll be my last hurrah London leaving drinks too, I guess.

I was just about to go to bed, when I passed up a pile of junk mail headed for the recycling bin when I noticed something that caught my eye. It was a post card with some sort of metal work on it, a line that cut straight through the ground, and some buildings. I turned it over and instantly saw the hex code on the top portion (which my mom thought was just post marking stuff from the machines used to sort them)

It says "In sleep a King but waking no such matter..." then "STOP THE FIFTEEN DAYS OF DARKNESS", 21/22

It was addressed to Admetus, and on top it had hex code (impartial string I'm guessing.) - 6c 72 20 gf 6c 67

on the upper right hand sice, there was a diagonal arrow pointing to the corner of the stamp with "08:49" next to it. There were some numbers half shown, but half covered by the stamp. I lifted the edges carefully, but it just seems to be the barcode for where they scan it to ring it up at a gift shop.

On the bottom left hand side, it gives information about the photo
"Royal Observatory, Greenwich courtyard depicting the Times Millennium Sculpture and the Prime Meridian Line" On the bottom right, it gives information about the copyright, concept and design of the card.

There's a blue airmair sticker "BY AIR MAIL par avion Royal Mail". I peeled that back, but found nothing under it.


I don't know how much time I'll have to dedicate to this, as I'm supposed to be starting a new job soon, but, I will get some pics of the postcard up, and I'll lurk around when I can.

So, I'm not playing, but I got a postcard today, too. I'd take pics, but I can't find the damn cable for my camera. I almost gave the postcard back to the post office because I had no idea who the Hell "Medea" was....it took me a few minutes. I haven't read any of the other thread or anything here, but this is what my postcard says:

Deep in the heart of Cupid
Murder on the heels of love

STOP THE FIFTEEN DAYS OF DARKNESS

21/22

There are also rune-looking things on the lower left corner. The postcard itself is of the Royal Observatory, Greenwich

Edit: Upon closer inspection, by the postage stamp there are two squiggly lines like:

with the numbers 11:22:32

@agent lex - alas I cannot traverse into our fair city this Saturday as I have to go and be excessively geeky in Hitchin. But I send you a psychic pint in my absence.

I, too, have received a postcard! However, my home scanner has decided to bork out (which is very frustrating as I really needed it the past couple days for work stuff)...memories of V's scanner acting up on her, heh . I am going into work in a bit to see if I can get the scanner there to work for me; if I can, once I finish scanning a couple things for work I'll do my postcard, too. The front of it is a pic of Bletchley Park.

So I'll probably lurk around a bit, but I won't be able to play much, I'm sure.

Also, I have no idea if there are any blacklight messages on mine. I'm afraid my blacklight went into the trash shortly after I graduated college and traded in my Pink Floyd posters for Kurt Halsey prints and family pictures on my walls.
