[UPDATE] New Blog entry 9/29

For the folks blocked from the blog at work:

Quote:
success

You rescued the Sleeping Princess!

Mission accomplished. Is there anything you guys can't do?

(Besides fix my aunt's web site, I mean.)

(Just kidding!)

It's so weird... I feel so incredibly relieved, knowing that the princess is back to sneaking around the server. The new happy ending to her Perdita story made me — well, happy. Really happy. Dazzlingly happy!

That's strange, right? I heart an A.I.?!

Well, anyway — thanks for bringing her home. Even though I'm still on the other side of the world, I kind of feel like a little part of me came home today, too.

I need to say one more thing. I know some of you helped the Operator last week when she wanted to track down her "rogue process." You gave her the information she needed to find and lock up the princess.

I just want to say — I understand. Even though my instincts would have been to protect the princess, I do understand. Talking to a brilliant, ruthless, intimidating A.I. from half a millennium in the future — well, it can be just a little mind-blowing. Who am I to tell anyone how to react to that?

I think when it comes down to it, we're all on the same side. Even if we have different ways of going about it, we all want to figure out why Melissa is here in 2004, and what we're supposed to do about it. We all want to save the world. That makes us a team, as far as I'm concerned.

In other news, I've been having my own payphone adventure of sorts today. Just spent an hour hogging a phone booth! Can't seem to get a straight answer from anyone as to why my ATM card won't work all of sudden. Everything was fine when I paid for a late sushi breakfast down at Tsukiji Fish Market. Then, the clock struck twelve, and my cash flow turned into a pumpkin. Kind of scary — Tokyo is no place to be alone and penniless...

In other words: Melissa may still be evil, but lay off of Weephun, he was jsut advancing the plot, as he was supposed to.

In other words, Melissa has started tracking down Dana... [/SPEC]

Oh good. I really didn't want to have to lead any sort of army.

Now we go after the turn-coat that ratted Dana out. I don't think she would feel like we are on the same team now that she's stranded and broke.

I think we should start selling weephun voodoo dolls to supplement Dana's cash flow. Smile

It's a bit of a coincidence that Dana's money has gone missing when Melissa is poking around on the phone networks. We could have some fraud going on here: An AI called Melissa is pretending to be Dana, who is currently in the Far East. I'm sure the FBI would love that.

There should be a Voodoo doll category @ Cafepress. Smile

hmmm, Melissa hasn't said anything yet about getting into other servers, like a bank... so far she's just been able to connect through phone lines (modem on the ILB server? voip to the phone switch?)

i don't think she knew Dana's last name, i don't even know if she knew her FIRST name until Zudini told her, so how could she lock her account?

maybe the ATM incident is just the PM's giving us another metaphor for loss of identity

(btw, like my new look?)

Why? Because she talks about her ATM account turning into a pumpkin? That's a pretty common phrase, I don't think it means anything. Besides, how could Dana know what new pages are going to pop up? If hints are going to come from anyone, I think it'd be the Princess.

Ohhhhhhh boy. Talk about foreshadowing Bad Things To Come...Dana seems pretty cheerful now, but I bet that's going to change when she finds out why her ATM card got pumpkinized...

It's a common phrase because it's a common fairy tale.

I think that we should take this as a hint NOT to do what ever Melissa wants us to. She is not in her right mind and if you belive the flea is controling her, and that the flea is bad, why would you assume that doing whatever she wants is a good idea?

I would put out that we should NOT let Melissa know where Dana is, no matter how much she wants to know.
