 		I think she is a little mad at all of us Crying or Very sad
Anyway here is my chat with her
Quote:
10:20pmClaire
Hi Catherine. how are you doing? this must all be very hard for for you.
10:20pmCatherine
Hi Claire, I am doing ok. All of this stuff with the website is helping me keep my mind off of...ya know, the other stuff.
10:21pmCatherine
Are you guys making any progress with the site? I never heard back from Geoff after I gave him the email. I feel a little used Wink
10:22pmClaire
we may be able to make some progress on the website tomorrow.
We will be able to get into the site if we can get the right password
10:22pmCatherine
Why tomorrow?
Can't we do it today?
10:23pmClaire
i don't think so. from what i have heard it is only available on wednesdays and fridays
and only for 3 hours
10:24pmCatherine
Ugh. How did we find this out?
10:24pmClaire
from Olin Adams
10:25pmCatherine
Oh so Geoff heard back from him? Ughhhh. Why didn't anyone tell me!?
10:25pmClaire
he is trying to help us out but he needs to be careful not to put himself in danger
sorry, i guess we all assumed someone else would tell you
we are currently thinking of passwords to try tomorrow
10:26pmCatherine
Well, Claire, if its ok with you, when something big like this happens, will you at least tell me? I would rather hear it from three or four people than not hear it at all.
10:27pmClaire
ok. i will make sure i keep you informed
10:27pmCatherine
Thank you...I wasn't trying to be pushy, I just feel like I was left out to dry on this.
10:28pmClaire
currently we are thinking of passwords to try tomorrow. all we have to go on is that the last password was bonaparte
hopefully that will help us find the new one
10:30pmCatherine
So August's password was 'bonaparte' That is interesting.
I don't really know what it means, but its interesting Very Happy
Claire
yes, and he was born in august so maybe we have a theme there
10:35pmCatherine
That is all we have to go on?
10:35pmClaire
i am trying to find important people born in september now that we could try
10:36pmClaire
it is all we have for now. if we knew the password july it would probably be easier. I think geoff is trying to find that out
10:37pmCatherine
That would probably help. Did he ask "olin.adams">
10:39pmClaire
he said he would. i will ask him to make sure he has.
10:44pmClaire
ok. i have asked him
i have to go now but i will let you know as soon as we have any more information.
take care
10:45pmCatherine
Thanks so much for chatting claire
I enjoyed it.

 		It's remedied, and really, not your fault...
but this is going to be very rough going if I'm supposed to be the one to pass on all the information to her first, especially if this is planning to become a time-hog... if this is supposed to be a general community-oriented game, that's going to be a stumbling block... unless of course I just get hated by her and she ignores me because I'm not actively working with her - maybe if I stop playing, she'll focus more on everyone else because she hates me =P
blah.

eta: goodgood, looks like she'll at least be satisfied if someone keeps her up to date. tnx tallerbird (I had a feeling you were Claire Wink

 		Just got done chatting with Catherine on facebook. The only real highlight of the convo:

Quote:
3:16pmMaven:
good point

what were some of your dad's hobbies?

3:16pmCatherine:
Hobbies? Haha, he loved gardening, as weird as that sounds.

He was always covered in dirt. Before his....death, he built mom this beautiful flower garden in the back yard.

3:18pmMaven:
what type of flowers did he like to plant?

3:18pmCatherine:
For some reason he LOVED roses. The garden in the back is probably 90% roses. And some other kind of flowers. Sorry, not much of a gardener either... Wink

3:18pmMaven:
roses are lovely

3:19pmCatherine:
I agree. There's a bench out there that my mom likes to sit on.

She just sits there and smells them all day.


Napoleon Bonaparte's first wife was always called Rose until she met him and he didn't like the name, so he always called her Josephine and she adopted this name.

Quote:

Maven:
What does your mom do for a living?

3:30pmCatherine:
Umm...she used to substitute teach(I guess another inspiration for me) but she hasn't had to work in a long time. She likes to paint things around the house.

3:31pmMaven:
oh really? what are some things she has painted?

3:40pmCatherine:
She likes to paint some scenes from the garden dad built. She also does some abstract stuff.

I like the garden stuff, not the abstract so much.

3:42pmMaven:
that sounds lovely

what's her name?

3:43pmCatherine:
My mom? Bridget



Just some more info that might lead us in the direction of finding out the RSA code word. Other things we talked about was what Catherine had planned to study at Ole Miss: Childhood Education.

I'm already confusing this with Edward Eckles in my head. Laughing Don't confuse me more! Laughing

I should be around tomorrow to help with passwording. What time does that work out to be, UK time? I am hopeless with timezones. Laughing

 		Leaders born in September:

Queen Elizabeth I of England (September 7, 1533)
Georges Clemenceau, Prime Minister of France (September 28, 1841)
Silvio Berlusconi, Prime Minister of Italy (September 29, 1936)
Daoguang, Emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty (September 16, 1782)

I'll be too busy at work to have fun with the passwording so this is the info I've found for suggestions.

 		Got another message from Catherine
Quote:
Claire,

Sorry if I was rude with you earlier, I hope you can forgive me. It is unfair of me to expect anything from you, and I am just grateful for the help that you have given me.

You(and everyone else) have been amazing friends to me, and you don't even know me.

Thanks again for everything and I hope someday I can be as good a friend to you as you have been to me.

Sincerely,
Catherine


I kind of makes it a bit more real that she would get annoyed with us not keeping her informed.

I guess because we know the pm's are reading all this and know what is going on, that we don't think to actually tell the characters.

Anyway it is 5am and i am off to work Evil or Very Mad Good luck on that website

 		password guesses
crazy idea
I won't be online during the access time, but here's a crazy idea...

IF (that's a big IF) July's password turns out to be Rembrandt, then I'd guess the password this month is von Tauentzien.
Here's my logic:
Napoleon Bonaparte born August 15 th is the eight name listed on this wiki page.
Rembrandt, born July 15 th is the seventh name listed on this wiki page.
Bogislav Friedrich Emanuel von Tauentzien, Prussian general of the Napoleonic Wars, born September 15 th is the ninth name listed on this wiki page.

If this turns out to be right, I'll plotz. Laughing
