decoded file

Anybody else notice that this decoded music file is exactly 1 [ONE] megabyte in length?

there is the 1 [One] or I [eye- 'I' letter roman numeral?] connection

I am going to open in Audacity and see if I can isolate the voice

decoded file

seems to be output all to single channel so no way to isolate voice .
That doesn't mean can't be done I suppose.
Audacity won't do it though.

weird

Just for the heck of it, I decided to check my work email. (The VPN has been screwy lately and I thought I'd check on it.) I had almost 100 messages but most were the usual spam and "plausibly deniable" MIS requests. There were also 10 or 15 different emails that were just really weird.

The first thing was that a bunch of people who clearly weren't employees wanted access to the company intranet. wtf? At first I thought it must have been a mistake, but after the 8th one or so I really had to start scratching my head. Hackers, maybe? If it is hackers, I can't imagine what they'd want from our company intranet. It isn't exactly a very juicy target.

Despite the fact that we spent a year in meetings planning that thing and like fifty grand for software and consulting building it, I'm probably one of the only people that uses it. Even I only use it for moving big files around. If someone were looking for sensitive information (my company does deal with sensitive stuff sometimes) they'd be out of luck. We have military contracts. That means we're required to keep any machine with their crap on it physically isolated from our network. Hell, I'm the MIS director and I'm not even allowed to touch that stuff. They have thier own contractors that handle everything up to and including plugging the computers into the wall outlets. When those machines break, the techs call the contractors and THEY come fix them. I have nothing to do with it.

That's not even the weirdest part, though. We've had hackers try to get in through the web site before. Whatever. They all have the same level of (and lack) of success. The really weird thing was the rest of the emails. They were all different, but a lot of them talked about "the signal" or asked if I knew anything about what "6EQUJ5" means. All seemingly from different people. By the way, if this is supposed to be some kind of social engineering trick by the same hackers, it isn't working, guys. It didn't seem like that, though. They all seemed so, I don't know, earnest? Like they really thought I would know something that could help them.

Anyway, I don't know. I should really stop checking my work email on weekends.

OK, sounds cool Cool

BTW, he made the myspace on DEC. 7th [pearl harbor day]. but signed up on the 5 ^th december 2008
at 12:!5 in the morning.
any significance to this?

Hackers we are now, hehe

USer prifile at the car site it says in another post of his:
In Topic: whats considered "ragging out" a car?

Quote:

"Son, I'm taking back the Caddy. From now on, you will drive this 87 Tempo. Floor it as much as you like."

Thats is from a movie or song or book?
Can't find answer on google, so maybe it is clue

Notice the 87 tempo.

just pulling the straws again

http://www.carforums.com/forums/index.php?showuser=17718

is this same kapinski?

Also, the other kapinski, possible PM in Ohoi, well, I found this from the
monarch trail whch led to domain checkup ofSOUTHEASTTUBE.COM

Quote:

Kapinski, Matthew S mkapinski ( @ ) monarchsteel dot com

Which again leads me to think the PM is located in ohio and does/did work for Monarch steel

Someone please tell me to stop on this trail.
It's too addictive, these args

It is not only the wiki all the information was already posted here at the forum (even the carforum connection). Those sites led to the password for the intranet.

Re jaybill's bagpipe quest: pure spec that the instrument is African

I think you've hit the nail on the head there, it doesn't sound like bagpipes to me (at least, certainly not the Scottish ones (I'm Scottish btw)), but it does sound like a north African/Middle Eastern sort of instrument, it reminded me of the sort of thing you'd hear used in a movie that's set out that way. I thought at the time that it sounded like something from a movie, so did a bit of reading up on the Contact soundtrack to see if it was on that, but I don't think it's anything to do with it. But that ties in with the Blackhawk Down idea.

Listened to the decoded sound file again and I'm fairly certain its playing too fast so that whole tempo 87 idea someon had might not be that far off. I dont have any good audio stuff but if somone had any and could slow it down I think it might make more sense.

I cleaned up the audio the best I can, I can also slow it down to 87bpm if you want me to.
