But it seems contacting isn't working very well..lol..I get bounce backs when I try to send to any of the addresses.

EDIT

I finally got something back from '[email protected]'

Hmmm. Not quite what I had in mind. Try harder - then listen closely.

~L

...and now I've got the one from Aaron.

hmmm...wonder why I got failures the first time.

You know...I received both the "work/play" email and the "try harder" email, but haven't received any of the extra ones that have been received, such as the Aaron email...strange...

She says she was contacted by recruiters...... That I Know of you do not refer to normal job contacts as recruiters the only people I know of as recruiters are sports people and military people. Clue ? or Does she just just have a intresting way of speaking.

Also I would like to bring up a suggestion. If it wouldn't be to much trouble, I think that a hint to kinda get you on the right path, like the morris code one for the reapir table would be nice before the anserw on the Wiki page would be very helpfull. Alot of the time I am just trying to find a new perspective to look at the puzzle from and not the anserw it is more rewarding to get the anserw yourslef in my opinion. Thank you for all of the hard work on the WIki page as well it has been a great help and I respect all of the hard wokr that has been put in to it.

that one for me took about 20 minutes to get. Also of note is you search aaron's email address you'll get a pdf of a conference he was a part of. It mentions jokingly that he is plugged into technology 22 hrs a day and "glows in the dark". so you'd think he'd have a blackberry, windows ce, something to be realizing he's getting all these emails and would have called someone to turn the auto reply off.

I also mentioned it to him on the Hive. I suspect he didn't know about it. Probably why he's also not answering his phone. Poor guy.

you should get tthree emails one from remote mailer, v-loki and aaron

FYI ... the "v-loki" one is likely a mistake too. V- is appended to the beginning of e-mail aliases for Microsoft vendors. That means that it was simply hitting the e-mail address for the person who set up the loki account at 42, which is a Microsoft vendor.

the email from loki says to try "harder" and aaron's last name is "coldiron" or cold iron.... maybe?

Recruiters could be like a tech recruiter...that's how I got my job I'm in right now....you know, from hiring agencies and contractors.

Interesting, thank you. I was hounestly unaware that there were tech recruiters. You learn something new every day. Guess that kills that line of thought then.

Although, there's one thing I need to take back. Originally, I said to ignore the weird white boxes that were showing up in the game. Apparently, I'm not as smart as I think I am. http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=17829

:o

My first post after the countdown expired and the box was unlocked was a pic of the white squares!! https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...893&st=1980 :p I pay attention to weird details and that's the strength I am bringing to the Neowin Team!

Okay, now is Loki slipping up or lying to us...her biography page from the pre-game stated:

"One of my professors didn?t buy my vanishing act. He called a friend in a certain large corporation. Now I have the job of giving stuff away to the smartest people on the planet."i>b>

So, was it a recruiter or her professor? And does it really matter.

Put together as puzzle pieces, what do we get?

    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot

      The original word arts were far more awesome! With their own preconfigured fill patterns, 3D layout, etc. I especially loved the ones circled below and still miss them from my primary school years: I frankly use them less these days 'cause the new one isn't as straightforward fine art as what we originally had. Same with the built-in picarts selection.
    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By +Good Bot, Bad Bot · Posted

      What didn't you understand about that was mainly referring to Google, Microsoft, etc. keeping your passwords. Password Management is a key service of Bitwarden and it's not going anywhere. In any case they do offer export to other Password management services, backup/download of passwords, and the already mentioned on-prem option. I don't agree with the OP to use the free option as it's better to be an actual customer IMO. They don't just don't delete accounts like the big tech companies with no recourse which was the main concern of this article. I was confused if the author was trying to sell this setup? It should be obvious to anyone reading this article this solution is overly complicated and overkill for most users.
    • Ads in Now Playing notifications on Spotify Android mobile app?

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I got this notification just now in Android: So I went in to disable the "Other" or "Marketing" notifications in Notifications management: But it came through the Now Playing? So if I disable that I no longer get what's Now Playing in Notifications? I'm a paying subscriber, not on the free plan... can they sink any lower?
    • Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings

      Population especially in high density areas creates more heat and more humidity. This can be noticed in an indoor arena or concert room which heats up when the room or arena fills with people, without air conditoning to cool it down, Watering of lawns creates more humidity as the moisture from the watering rises into the atmosphere, creating a more humid condition. The again, depopulating an arena or room after an event will drop the temperature inside. Desert areas are less humid for a number of reasons, including a lower population density. Tel Aviv has horrible weather, unless you like it hot and humid. Summer days are regularly 90+ F with humidity well over 70%. It is probably not as bad as Mississippi but still it is bad enough.
