 		Well, I finally caught up, puzzle wise.
Tried to go to tkpsite.com and ended up in some arthouse movie site and trying for an hour looking for a login screen XDDD. Then I realized that TKP was the abbreviation for the temporalkinephonics site.
Don't get mislead there, newcomers Smile

In the source of the www.bonsaibanzai.netfast.org copyright page. I found this:
Quote:
Message from Gaia Force's 2083 inter-temporal connection contact:

Since the hyperweb was bought by InternatioNET Governings in 2038, all knowledge and communication that was in any way threatening to corporate interests has been significantly restrained. Gaia Force was compelled to continue operations underground, but without digital web access, our capabilities are massively restricted. We require assistance from supporters in your time dimension to help in ways that are impossible for us. This website is one of our main channels of contact.

We have reason to believe that WENCON, a consortium of governments and businesses that are responsible for much future environmental degradation, also have access to future contacts. We believe they have an Anti-Resistance Unit that is monitoring Gaia Force's activities in this time. Access to this unit can be obtained from data encoded in WENCON's so-called "Environmental Success" files on the front page of their website. Our agent inside WENCON says that the code is "the name of a supporter and her last two words."

Unfortunately we have one further important task that you urgently need to complete.

One of our leading operatives, Bindu Copernica, has gone missing while
engaged in vital Gaia Force work. We fear for her saftey. All we have is
this file containing the details of her travelog. We believe this contains an encoded message from Bindu.

It is absolutely crucial that you decipher this code and immediately
send it to Bindu's brother, Salvador - scopernica at gmail dot com - who will know what to do next.


Woah, woah, out of curiosity, how did you find the copyright page?

EDIT: Okay, I'm not getting a zip file.
It keeps taking me to this:
http://my-php.net/blog/
is this right?

The Copyright page is found by going to here then clicking on PROJECTS. Scroll all the way down to just above the obligatory ad banner & you will see a copyright line, it is a hyperlink, click it Smile

 		Thanks Smile

EDIT: Has anyone noticed that the book image in the Bonsai Banzai About Page has a N* 1 coordinate? That could tie in with this...

ANOTHER EDIT: I noticed something in the Bon-Ban PROJECTS copyright page message that no one addressed yet.
Everyone probably already knows this, but:

So, now we have some idea of what we can obtain with the WENCON front page map file.

 		Well I sent an email to Salvador
Quote:
I found some interesting stuff in Bindu's file

Greenpeace location has "here"
Kyoto has "city"
The Earth Summit has "hall"
Montreal Protocol has "turn"
Earth Day has "San Francisco"
Not sure but I think the W & Y in wolves is lighter too

I know you don't know me, yet, but I was very active in the World
Without Oil reality & you can find me on live journal as RedHatty. I
want to help in anyway I can, I don't want the book to become reality!


And got this reply
Quote:
Red

Thanks so much for helping me locate my sister. I'm beginning to really fear for her safety as I know there's some people out there that don't want her doing what she does.

I´m not sure what the information you´ve given me all means. I was hoping that people might be able to find a short message from her travelog - but you appear to have sent me something else. I've racked my brains but can't come up with where she is either.

I fear that time is running out. Please continue helping.

Salvador

 		THE NUMBERS
noticed that bindus numbers come out to be the 1st 8 letters of the alphabet...(a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h) something about latitude/longitude....

Quote:
"Degrees of latitude and longitude can be further subdivided into minutes and seconds: there are 60 minutes (') per degree, and 60 seconds (") per minute. For example, a coordinate might be written 65° 32' 15". Degrees can also be expressed as decimals: 65.5375, degrees and decimal minutes: 65° 32.25', or even degrees, minutes, and decimal seconds: 65° 32' 15.275". All these notations allow us to locate places on the Earth quite precisely – to within inches. " nationalatlas.gov

 		Bindu's entry on The Great Barrier Reef is:

Quote:
Could have spent weeks here exploring underwater. Got to watch out for sharks though and whatever you do don't forget the time.


The thing about the time really stands out to me.

I also noticed that every location in the Wencon file has a date included. The lighter words make some vague sense ordered going backwards in time ("city hall turn here san francisco"), but we're supposed to be looking for a name and last two words, so... ?

Well there are another N and E, capitalized when they shouldn't be. But no numbers that I can see.

 		The Google Earth file has some files with words that are lighter, like the previous one:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
bhopal: UN

love canal: Layer

exxon valdez: africA

aral sea: dried up

the gulf war oil spill: lake


So. In addition, changing the URL for a certain file gets you to a walkthrough for the entire game. I didn't look at it... but it's there. I'm not sure what to think of this?
