Checked it while on break at work a sec ago. No updates as of yet
Ultimate nerdery. "Boss, I'd like to take my break now. I need to check Emcom's intranet to check for a conference update."

Half of the employees here think I secretly got another job and am biding my time until I can quit. I suppose it doesn't help that I came in this mornine wearing my Encom ID and an Encom t-shirt.

I love workplace gossip.

First off- wahoo! Mine came in finally!
Also, I notice nobody wrote up the little note that came with it, so I'm doing so here:

Dear "Encom employee"

I've been cranking out these badges in my workroom (behind Arcade Aid). Well, you don't know the half of it.

I've also been working my magic on the Encom system so that you can access it using the unique ID number on your badge. Your password is the same one you use over at FlynnLives.com - please note: only this password/ID combination will work (as I said - workin' my magic, but that's the furthest my magic can go).

This is the hardest I've worked since the first time I beat Astro-Gunner back in '87 (I was on that machine for three days straight - still have the calluses to prove it). Time to take a break and... play some Astro-Gunner.

--Zack

This note is printed in white on a black background. I'm going to assume there are no hidden messages- this is essentially a hidden communique. However, I'd be curious about the 2D barcode printed on the stamp- I've never seen a stamps.com stamp before so it might be normal, but no worries.

As for the website updateing- I'd suspect not for another hour and a half at minimum- all this stuff seems to be in California, which is 3 hours behind us forward-thinkers on the east coast. Thus, I'd expect at bare minimum for the info to change at their 9:00.

Er- three hours would mean our noon.

However, since 15-19 is monday thru friday, you're probably right.

Yeah, that's a data matrix code. Those are used a LOT by the USPS for tracking purposes on packages, which this counts as since it was in a mailer and not an envelope. Razz

Not -just- USPS. Also UPS & FedEx... Probably also by DHL and other shipping companies. It seems to be the new "it" thing.

I'm still on vacation so I have no idea what is going on right now (first time back in here for a week). I have 1 more week to go before getting my snail mail so I feel confident mine will be waiting for me.

Hate missing out on all this fun.

Oh, no return phone call from my message about "Las Vegas slot machines that look like video games).

My wife, who completed the test about 7 hours after I did, got her badge today. I wasn't so lucky. I'm starting to wonder if there was a problem with my picture. I used my avatar picture that I use here on uF and I'm wondering if that caused a problem somehow. I'm going to look into resubmitting my photo...

If you find a way, do let me know. I'm in the same boat, but I have no way of resubmitting through the site.

Maybe you guys should open a second account at FlynnLives and use the secondary account to resubmit a pic. but keep the primary for all the badges and stuff.
Just a suggestion!

I couldn't resubmit my photo so I sent an e-mail off to infiltrateSPLATflynnlives.com asking if they could check on my badge for me. Watch the thing show up Monday morning.

Just to be safe I used one of my alt e-mail accounts and created a new FL account and made a new badge with a normal pic of me. Either way, my bases are covered now, just a matter of if I will be getting one badge or two.

I think I'm taking this way too seriously...

EDIT:VanGoghX, just saw what you posted...Great minds think alike!

A respectful dish of lightly sauteed Trout for you: krakmunky69 posted it on Wednesday in the main "[TRAILHEAD?] Tron" thread. No offense intended, as I'm sure you're hardly the only one who hasn't memorized every post in that 119-page topic...

(As long as I'm posting here anyway, "Me five" on those twiddling thumbs. Poor overworked Zach.)
