Untill I red this line:

And her photo on orkut (http://www.orkut.com/AlbumZoom.aspx?uid=2267757785725596586&pid=1, login required) has definitely something in it. Horizontal bars and darker dots added over the image. It is acceptable to post it here? (Anyway, I can send it by private mail to people interested and without an orkut account..)

(oh, another weirdness: in the last mail she sent to cyfre she faked my SMTP! the IP address is completely wrong, obviously..)

It's fine to post the image here. The link requires a username and password, and it looks like you have to be invited by a pre-existing member in order to join. Long story short, i don't have access to the image. =)

Well I was bored, so here's what I got. Horizontal sizes are probably not exact but the rest should be right.

Barcode anyone?

looks like Code 128. (doesn't look like UPC or code 3of9 or interleaved 2 of 5)

fyi, I'm trying to use http://www.barcodesinc.com/generator/index.php to generate sample barcodes, and http://www.barcode1.org/pub/russadam/128table.html to decode them.

It definitely starts with the code 128 "start sequence". The first character may be a "0", and the third character might be a "9", but I can't seem to get all the characters to fit.

If that's the case I may have done it wrong, I only did it quickly, so may have some mistakes. I didn't notice any obviously missed though.

Uploaded photo - as you can see you can't just cut and paste.

("Horizontal lines" argh. And I am supposed to know about barcodes, sigh. Crying or Very sad)

Anyway, I have noted that the two barcodes can be joined (last two and first two bars correspond) into what seems to be an EAN-13 barcode. I tried to print it and scan it but all I get is a checksum digit error (you know, the reader beeps and says "error".)

Isn't there a barcode font you can d/l from somewhere like wingdings but it produces lines instead?

Was there anything else in the profile (besides the picture) that look like it could be some kind of clue? no links or anything?

can someone do a yahoo people search on this person and see if it yeilds any info? i tried but am having trouble navigating the italian site and the US version doesn't check italian registrations. also, does the email name have any significance? hi to everyone, btw. this one looked too interesting so i finally registered. i am thinking that the two personalities using the email address are the same person, explaining why the shared knowledge of the nathan name and possibly why she stated that she felt like she should remember something. split personality? Barcode fonts as mentioned above. can't check them myself as i am at work (and getting nothing done now)

That's what I was going to say before I flipped to page two of this thread. Razz

The extracted barcode looks like it matches the original to me...

Have you tried feeding it a different way, or perhaps joining them one backwards, the other forwards, and other combinations like that?

Hi ! I'm new here.. fell into this thread by chance... looks like we have a nice little mystery to unravel here.

I tried doing that. They don't fit together. I've tried everything I can think of with this barcode and I havn't come up with anything at all.. No number seems to fit anything. Arrrr.. brain...melting...

I also havn't been able to come up with any info on Yahoo.it about our friend there. Since the barcode thing is going so bad for me, I think I'll focus myself in this direction and let the "smart" people figure out the barcode. I can say that it's DEFINITELY not UPC. I tried scanning it with our scanners at work (They'll get numbers from ANY barcode) and they wouldn't scan it (wouldn't even see it). I'm wondering if the barcode isn't necissarily a barcode and means something else...
