I don't think the numbers are "5 9 4 12 9" and "4 0 0 0 22", I mean they could be but I'm guessing it is really "5 9 4 1 2 9" and "4 0 0 0 2 2".

The space between the 1 and 2 isn't really any smaller than what's between 4 and 1 or 2 and 9 ... same the second 2 and 2. Besides real barcodes are single digits. In the IRC chat, some of us were discussing the barcode.

Ignoring the numbers aren'd a valid UPC code, the numbers still have to have a check-sum. The numbers checksum doesn't work out. Also, ther are no check numbers on the right or left. Another problem is that the bars don't all make valid numbers nor do they all match up with the numbers below.

What does everyone else think?

Hmm...If the TT webmaster is supposed to be a DH Survivor...hmm...

His name is Ron Daubert, if the website can be trusted. Maybe asking to be connected to him by phone might solve a few clues...

I'm just speculating, though...

But someone had received emails back from Ron, or was that just automated responses?

DeathPrawn wrote in another thread ( http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4692&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 ) that this is most likely a UPS tracking number.

It's not very probable that random numbers would be compatible with the UPS tracking system, so I think he's right:

http://www.fedex.com/cgi-bin/tracking?action=track&language=english&last_action=alttrack&ascend_header=1&cntry_code=&initial=x&mps=y&tracknumbers=594129400022
Possible explanations?

1. Maybe the webmaster just wanted a random number for his barcode graphic, and chose one from a blank packing slip lying around the office.

2. Maybe this will be used as a clue somehow. It would indicate that the webmaster (or whoever is responsible for the graphic) was wanting to get a message out behind the backs of other staff there. If the slip with this tracking number is used, it would indicate the path the package takes and its destination. This information could link up with other info we have.

Guys, keep in mind that Ron Daubert was NOT the one who created the website, and he said he didn't know about the barcode.

The previous webmaster, that is the key.

We HAVE to find him.

Once that UPS package gets scanned, we can find out what adress it will be sent to. I bet that is where we'll find the old webmaster.

(And we can do a phone number lookup and call him)

agreed, Marvelous speculation. we really should figure out the address. I'm aware that some people have gotten actual responces from the exec.s at TT, however, the number of connections to live people should be much much greater. For Example Sandra brown was contacted Enaxor I believe (?_? could have been someone else) and was told that she couldn't give us the old web designers information because of a piracy thingy... *mutter profanities*

so yeah I suppose the only thing to do is wait, and twittle our thumbs until that package gets scanned.

Piracy thing? Did you mean privacy by any chance?

This could be useful for decoding the bars:
