Bah! I posted there and wasn't able to log in.. Evil or Very Mad

 		Maybe I was one of the few, then. I guess I was mistaken and simply missed his attempt to reach out to me. Cursed email spam protection!

Also, that picture's in the same place as earlier. Same guy, now it's 2007 instead of 1988?

You have to have -registered- at his WordPress, your login for the email will be the same username that you pick when you register there.

 		Okay! For those playing along at home: I just had RSSPECT generate a feed for the /notes/ page. It should update when he updates!

Either click here or add
Code:
http://www.rsspect.com/rss/twofivesixnotes.xml
to your RSS reader.

Also you guys probably shouldn't count on this to work all the time as RSSPECT is time-based and will give slower updates if not updated in a while. But it's still nice to have?


Anyway! What's our next move here?

ah, ok. the /notes/ one will be useful, thanks Smile


this is all the info i collected yesterday in my blundering around.

talking about the polaroids.

Quote:

[15:25] J4bb4: i don't think we have worked out what hte lines on the 2 photos you found were... any ideas?
[15:26] xisytfifowt: Old worn out Polaroids.
[15:26] xisytfifowt: Faded, blurry, cracked.
[15:26] J4bb4: ah, so nothing important with the lines, they are just cracks
[15:27] J4bb4: those pictures kinda look like you
[15:28] xisytfifowt: Do you think so?
[15:29] J4bb4: maybe, but if they are from 1988, then i am guessing you went that big
[15:30] xisytfifowt: I wasn't that old in 1988. Not old enough to drive a car that's for sure.


while trying to find communicate. he mentions someone finding his personal blog OOG i think.

Quote:
[17:12] xisytfifowt: There are more ways than one to find things on a website.
[17:13] xisytfifowt: More than one method of organization.
[17:13] xisytfifowt: More than one method to direct browsers to directories.
[17:15] J4bb4: i just don't want to go hacking into somehting i shouldn't
[17:19] xisytfifowt: I learned the hard way that you shouldn't put anything online unless you want somebody to find it.

The only car he owned then was a Toyota.


not sure how important all this is, but i thought i'd share it all. i thought there was more interesting stuff than that, but i guess yesterday was a bit intense.

indeed.

I think the car connection is important.

In both pictures the car is a Nissan. At least I think they are, I'm not much of a car guy. I did check The Nissan site though.

in an e-mail 256 told me he didn't like domestic cars.

and then there is Fairlady.

"Fairlady" is indeed a nickname for Nissans. It could be a coincidence....but.

Has anyone communicated with Fairlady outside the "safe" site?

if she is on this forum, then I apologise. I did a site search and found nothing.


I could be way off but it just seems important to me.

His car is a Nissan 350Z, the one in the polaroid is a 300ZX. both are known in Japan as a Fairlady. I did ask 256 about FairladySPLAT256...com and the response was:

She has been helping me as well.


so whether she is IG or OOG i am not sure.
