Hex
seconds

Omega wrote:
If S is second, then we should look only at the seconds in the timestamps: 45, 48, 41, 57, 59, 02, 34, 13, 36, 00, 99. The 99 produces gibberish in Hex. However, if you modulus the 99 with 60 (basically converting seconds into minutes and taking the remainder), you get 39, which isn't gibberish in hex:


OK, along that line of thinking I took all the seconds in the chat log and ran it through a decoder here. It has 5 different translations for one string of text. It decoded to this:

Maybe I made a mistake part of the way through it, but it looks like it could be the right track to continue on?

quite possibly the right track, it could also be a coincidence, though i hope not..this is kind tough...hope the old man wasn't overconfident..i'll try playing with the time stamps some more..maybe we should be using just seconds? maybe everything but the minutes?

@Deadby:

the one about the little christmas tree Is basically about a christmas tree being cut down, loved for a day, shoved in an attic to become a home to mice then being burnt..., The Fall of Freddy the Leaf is about a leaf who
"dies" in the fall..., The little Match Girl you should know is morbid, and The Giving Tree is about a tree that sacrifices itself to a little kid who doesn't really give a shit about it, ^^

What jumps out at me immediately

ASCII

and

the YHVTTS might be irrelevant though..

Nevermind, I see that the minute statement has been removed. Very Happy
Well, how about this? If you take out all the numbers that aren't "Hex"able and then decode, you get this:

I know that IMEEM is a media sharing website, but I'm unable to get onto it due to be FIREWALLED at work! Evil or Very Mad Perhaps someone can do a quick search and see if a member named either "UWY" or "Tomorrow" exists?

I'll post them side by side, i see the differences, namely the capitalization this time spells out ASCII which is this

So uh, the chat transcript is a Word document, right?
I think it's time to take a peek into the metadata...

Excellent find, shy. For those unable to view the site, there are some comments on the profile:

You have hardly worked on your site...and you're asking me to update my blog? Gorgonzolla! I don't even know if I'm supposed to be posting on profile comments. Anyway, come pick up your coat tomorrow. Get some sleep.

Whatever. Are you going to update your blog? I only see one.


Tomorrow

Ever hear of the Doomsday Clock idiot?
I enjoy intellectual things...sue me. And you left your coat at my house - Again!

Don't think I am below staying up until 10 A.M. in the morning to watch for your first blog post.

I'm a bit lazier than you in creating a profile theme...but I'll get on it eventually.

Thanks V for trying the internet. If you try to delete it I'll throw twinkies at you!

/Lisette/

P.S.: What's with this fifteen minutes to midnight crap? Are you depressed or something?



ETA: A few interesting tidbits in Tomorrow's about section:

She lists a couple of movies, all of which have slightly modified titles:

Quote:
V for Veronica, Little Missed Sunshine, Your Not There, Letter in a Bottle.


Also, her employer is listed as "Winter."

Okay, what I've found so far, Tomorrow's name is apparently Veronica. she has a cat and her employer is Mr. Winter who uses S as a lackey? i'm thinking S is sunshine now, though that is a weird name XP maybe Sunny?

Also, she's going to Paris to the Eiffel Tower with S, combined with the targets image, i'm getting a bit worried unless they REALLY like shopping, oh and my guesses on the names of her and her employer come from here.

Current mood: busy
I have to go to Paris today. I have to take a plane. I hate planes. My boss isn't one to mess with, so I just kept my mouth shut. S will supposedly be meeting me there on the Eiffel tower. Not sure why.
I'm going to miss you Lisette and the Forumstalkers who read this.
I kind of like the name.
Combining the two. Other than that...not much else to report.
Maybe someone will spot my career builders profile. Let's hope. Oh dear...now I'm rambling. I should get going now.

Hello,
whoever you are.

I was forced to create a blog-thing by my excruciatingly irritating friend, Lisette. Happy now?

I don't know what to say in this really...other than that my cat is doing well. Mr. Winter has yet to contact me regarding the recent assignment. On one hand, that is really annoying. On the other hand(Good thing I have two), it's understandable.

Perhaps he is sending S to pick up the photos himself? Can't say I blame him, after last week's incident. Not that any of you...er, "Forumstalkers", know what I am talking about. Just rambling about life. You know...that funny thing you come to every time you wake up in the morning?

O.K., sarcasm over. Blog created. I'll update it as much as I can, Lisette. By the way...if you were so adamant about me discovering the 'wonders of the internet', why haven't you joined this site with me, mm?

- Tomorrow
