I actually did bring that up on page 39 at the bottom. go check it out. Very Happy points for me.

i'm sorry >.> didn't saw it !
wish my 2nd tought is a new thing

PS : I tryed to search for the symbols ">>>>" on differant search engines but nothing Sad 0 results ...


I didn't think you would. What would >>>> mean? Probably just a space for the next fax back. But i wonder how the two messages might combine to form a telegram. If anyone is good with secret codes, be my guest.

Maybe there's a Cipher involved? I doubt they'd do it, cause it's a little small to have much in it to cipher, but you never know.

I bring up cipher for the fact that around 2-3 weeks ago on Chuck, Episode "Chuck Vs. the Living Dead", where 2 people contacted each other by way of the classifieds and you had to decode it to get the actual message.

aha! Sound familiar ladies and gentlemen? Do tell more, this sounds intriguing. Our cipher supposedly has to do with either the letter "I" or the poster's name. Which we don't know. How would a cipher be used in this case?

well, we do have one name. Don't we know who wrote the program? Someone mentioned earlier that it was impossible for him to be the sender rather than reciever, I do believe, though. In any case, we could start with him. Anyone remember his name? I'll have to get back on the site and find it.

I think that's correct. Can we make a cipher out of his name with our message?

Clarification please


Am I reading you guys right in the last 2-3 pages with the suggestion that the output on STIES site would be an incoming telegraph transmission or faxish transmission?

I think what is suddenly confusing me on STIES site is that the DOS like program running doesn't seem to fit with the domain name - it's throwing me off so not sure how to perceive it. I still look at it from a webmaster's point of view - with the popeteer site, we'd assume a webmaster set that up to promote a company. Who would set up a site called scariest thing i ever saw and then what happens...speaking IG specifically, is his a webpage and the webmaster is sharing a program called remote viewer....or is this supposed to be considered a machine in and of itself, and we ignore the part it's on a webhost, domain, url - etc.


Reading the last couple pages, it suddenly made sense, then pissed out on me...if we're accessing something from an outside point of view - we're observing a transmission between d. morris and whoever and this is their conversation, their exchange and we're simply eavesdropping for clues...or is someone connected to the site IG still, trying to make contact with "us" the viewer?

To me, d.Morris could be the Morris code (not morse), or it could be a phonetic hint to the Morse code...which would be more standard with military applications.


Help! ;--p

Someone suggested recently that the ">>>>" found at the bottom of the "stop posting" message was meant to imitate the old dot matrix printers. In that case, they wondered if the ">>>>" was to indicate the tear line.

Hey guys and gals (and others)...first posting, let's see if I can get trouted right out of the gate. I did search first!

Anyway, we have two printed items. First, the pages properly aligned gave us:

no certainty if a live may be after us we go underground

Which is certainly atmospheric but that's about it.

The pages also led to rocketpoppeteers.com, but nothing to be found there either (so far...still waiting to see if anyone gets anything back in the mail from Minot).

The other printed item was from the hidden print box behind the PDP-11 simulator on the desktop:

Stop posting publicly. I can answer your questions.
I have proof.

>>>>


What if these two messages work together in some way? There's one obvious thing that came to mind on the second message - "i" can answer your questions. Maybe that doesn't mean a person, but the actual letter "i"?

I also find it a bit weird that the second message is laid out as it is. Why is "I have proof" down a line? The first line is only 51 characters, and I'm pretty sure even old dot matrix printers printed at least 80 characters.

So far this line of thinking is getting me nowhere on my own...thought I would see what others think.

P.S. I think I saw something somewhere on this question, but I can't find it...does anyone know what sort of desktop that is we're remote viewing the PDP-11 simulator on? I don't recognize those icons.


Want to share a little more of my thoughts on this.

What is bothering me is that from the items we got out of the STIES website, the rocketpoppeteers.com site seems too obvious and more of a block than anything - something people would immediately leap to, so they put up the image. It doesn't go anywhere. The pages printed also don't really go anywhere, but it seems like the trail here dies too fast. Then we've got these two printed messages, and I feel like we're missing something special about them.

So I jumped on the "i" can answer all your questions part...thinking that maybe the i's in the first message (there are 3, in the words "certainty", "if", and "live") would point to something, maybe in their original context (words above them, below them, before them, after them).

My hunch is that what I'm looking for is the name of another web site.

P.S. I do think the >>>> is the tear mark on an old dot matrix printer.

P.S. Actually I just realized that >>>> doesn't remind me of a dot matrix tearoff at all. It reminds me of a receipt printer tearoff mark. One of the old roll printers. That's kind of curious. Old dot matrix printers used boxed paper with tear off pin holes on the edges, that fed through. They didn't put a mark at the bottom because it would automatically eject to the next page perforation.

But the little roll printers (receipt printers are a good example) do and they do print fewer characters per line, and 50-some characters sounds right to me offhand.

Interesting. As you can see, it's still bugging me why that printout is aligned the way it is. Smile

The RSCOM8 file that printed the two images is a .DAT file, which is an arbitrary data file not associated with a particular program. Many email programs will attach a file as file type .DAT:

http://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/how-to-open-dat-files/

So we're printing it using the .PRINT command, but has anyone tried to do anything else with it? I'm having trouble doing print to file on Vista, never tried it before.

Maybe open it in Notepad or Wordpad and see what's actually in it?
