Did you post this on www.abovetopsecret.com
Someone did.
What is the point of that website? Personally, I have no idea. |

Did you read it? If you read it and didn't understand it, I don't think I can help you. If you didn't read it, well, read it. |

Sinsanity,
I quickly read the story and I'm confused - Is it written as a piece of creative writing or is it a genuine account of what you did? If it's designed to be fictional then I think it actually has some potential - interesting idea to explore the main character's mind through their reactions and interpretations of the translations, sort of creating a whole world (and book) out of completely random triggers. As for the internet becoming sentient, wicked idea for a book. Swap the 9-11 / JFK thing for general distribution / supression of information and then the whole emerging sentient-internet and wider collective unconscious would really work.
Can you fill us in as to your motives of writing this? _________________ - www.takectrl.org - |

Hey freddie,
Thanks for the cordial post.
It is a genuine account of what happened. All the translations are valid.
After I went through all that, I wrote it down like it happened.
Of course I framed it as a piece of creative writing, but the events happened like the story says.
And Like the story says, I pass it off as a programmer with too much time on his hands and amazing coincedences. |

What I don't understand is how can you write something that most people won't be able to understand and if I can't understand it how can you then say you can't help me.
What do I need help with exactly?
I'm intrigued. |

Hmmm, okay, I'll try.
I started putting random letters and the letters of the alphabet into notepad and saving it as per the "notepad bug". This is where you save a file with the contents in the form "zzzz zzz zzz zzzzz", four letters, space, three lettters, space, three letters, space, five letters. When you reopen the file some mysterious zeros appear instead of the letters. If you take those mysterious zeros and put them into a translator, Chinese symbols appear. If you translate those Chinese letters you get words.
Here's the translator I used:
http://perso.orange.fr/gaoling/hanzi/index.htm
Here's a sample of the last half of the alphabet:
z - Air; sky; empty; air force; in vain, air defense, low altitude, anti-aircraft defense.
y - A sacrifice at the beginning of a military campaign, cult. Manifest.
x - Rocky hill,
w - Eye; look, see; wide open eyes; to gaze in astonishment, blind; unperceptive, shortsighted, straight, erect, vertical, close eyes, sleep; hibernate, hypnotism; mesmerism, people, subjects, citizens.
v - Fatigued, head sores, chronic disease, chronic illness; sorrow. Legs.
u - Field,
t - Twin gems,
s - Commit crime, violate; criminal,
q - Fire, flame, burn, anger, rage, ashes, dust, lime, to roast, spirit, soul, spiritual world. Sacrificial animal.
p - Small river, gray ash, dust, engineer, physicist, head covered in dust.
I say that's a pretty amazing coincidence to 911.
Others may see no connection to 911, that's there opinion, and I respect it. |
