 		[EMAIL] from Ron 9-24 re: IT at TT, weekend plans
I'm guessing more people than just I got this...But I haven't seen it posted:

Subject : Sorry
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey sorry for the back-to-back e-mails. Don't you just hate it when
you remember something else you wanted to say right after you hit
send?

I am thinking we may need to resort to more immediate methods of
communicating in the near future. Do you have a phone number or AIM
name I can use to try and contact you? Or even a number for SMS
messaging? If you do, send them to me so I have them, OK?

Thanks,
Ron

 		I think most people got the request for an IM SN (I did, at least), he just probably forgot to include it in yours and so sent you a second e-mail.

 		Here's what I got...

Quote:
T -

Speaking of "TT going down," I'm sure you know by now about the mix-up when they re-booted their site. I did a little discrete checking and found out that they hired some temporary IT guy to do the system restore for them and it looks like he botched things up good. But still, I wonder how something like that could happen, especially since I also heard that the big boss himself, Mark Robinson, was there to oversee the whole thing.

It's funny too that shortly thereafter the www.urbanmythology.net site got hacked. And now I've been having trouble accessing my sites as well. They haven't gone down entirely but I am having trouble logging in to upload files and so on. That's what has kept me from getting that third encrypted file online. Coincidence or something more? Luckily I can still access this e-mail address through the webmail interface.

I did meet up with Jaimie and we are headed to Gold Hill right after I finish these e-mails. I hope to get access to the Gold Mine Hotel tomorrow, thinking there might not be construction going on there over the weekend. I'll keep you posted on how everything goes, of course.

Thanks for your help. BTW, I am thinking we may need to resort to more immediate methods of communicating in the near future. Do you have a phone number (you may have already sent it to me, I know) or AIM name I can use to try and contact you? Or even a number for SMS messaging? If you do, send them to me so I have them, OK?.

Ron

 		SPEC
I have a feeling that Ed/Amanda is working for TT... Think about that one e-mail... "It was a pleasure to burn".

And the fact that urbanmythology and tt went down at the same time....


hmmmmm.

 		I got the same message as Satanis. The subject line was, "Run Rabbit Run" I thought that it was a little bit odd and maybe worth mentioning.

 		Hey my first interaction(though canned)

Subject was "Run Rabbit Run".

I've checked out the Dream Projector website before from other people's e-mails and didn't know what to make of it all. What connection do you think Ed has with it?

I guess you know by now what happened when Tomorrow's Talk tried to restore their website.

ARG! I sent him my phone number and AIM SN in my e-mail!!!!!!!

In response to:

Ron,
Please keep me updated on your progress. Have you met up with Jamie in
California yet? I would suggest that, while you are in California, you
visit the Dream Projector research facility located at:
Dream Projector, Telegraph Hill Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94133

Ex webmaster Ed has quite a.... visible connection to it.
Be careful. We know that they will stop at nothing to contain the truth.

Please contact me:
AIM: *******
Phone: *-***-*******

Thanks,
"The Watcher"

 		Of course Ron emailed me. Same subject: Run Rabbit Run.

Here is the only part that is a little bit different from everyone else:

If we come back through Vegas after checking out the old hotel I'll be sure to look you up.


Here is my reply:

Ron:
So glad to hear that you are okay (I was getting worried after
Randall's death). My cell phone number is (xxx) xxx-xxxx. My AIM nick
is xxxxxxxxxxxxxx. My yahoo nick is xxxxxxxxxxx. Hopefully you will be
able to reach me via one of these methods (phone is best).

Amazing stuff we got ahold of at TT during the reboot. Best thing is
the password for the remaining disk. Bad news about the hacking at
UM. If they had hit Jaimie's site, I would say TT is behind it -
except for the fact they have idiots doing their IT stuff right now
(or maybe they did hire some off-the-street hackers).

Tomorrow is some sort of ghostly anniversary at the Gold Mine Hotel.
Please be really careful - and I would very strongly recommend NOT
going down any mine shafts or exploring any tunnels. You may want to
sleep somewhere AWAY from the hotel since the wind blowing through the
mine shafts probably is creating a noise in the 40 Hz range and I
believe that is linked to the people at the mental hospital going
insane (or at least having weird dreams).

If you make it down to Las Vegas you can use my computer. I have a
pretty good firewall and virus protection software, and cable modem.

Hugs (stay safe).
Heather

DOH! Not that again Smile While it MAY be a future-reference to TT burning down, I'm thinking it was just a clue to search with Fahrenheit 451. If I'm wrong I'm wrong, just doesn't seem like something Ed would do -- personally.

 		My Ron emails "Run Rabbit Ron"
My yahoo one is kind in the same thread as the one from here.

Thanks a lot for the phone number - I've been thinking we may need to resort to more immediate methods of communicating in the near future. Do you have an AIM name or even a number for SMS messaging?

I'm sorry I missed you in Cambridge. You actually went to the Mental Hospital at midnight eh? How long ago was that? Were there many buildings still standing then? Did you hear any strange noises or see anything weird or unusual?

I am headed to Gold Hill right after I finish these e-mails. I hope to get access to the Gold Mine Hotel tomorrow, thinking there might not be construction going on there over the weekend. I'll keep you posted on how everything goes, of course.

Thanks for your help.

Then this other account received, basically, the standard email.

Thanks for alerting me to what happened to the Tomorrow's Talk site a couple of nights ago. I did a little discrete checking and found out that they hired some temporary IT guy to do the system restore for them and it looks like he botched things up good. But still, I wonder how something like that could happen, especially since I also heard that the big boss himself, Mark Robinson, was there to oversee the whole thing. Thanks for the offer to show what you found but someone else already sent me a link to a mirrored site so I'm good. Smile

Thanks for your help and please watch your back. BTW, I am thinking we may need to resort to more immediate methods of communicating in the near future.

If you do, send them to me so I have them, OK?.

 		Does anyone think that this has anything to do with John Updike's book, Rabbit Run? Which is about the 50's I believe.
