06: The Emperor's Red Clothes

wingrid    4:15 pm, someone playing around at the ISP buggered up
                             all my counters for the last two days. I tell
                             you - presto they're fixed.

                             some coincidence, eh? Unless the counter
                             software was down for maintenance, I'd say it
                             was deliberate provocation against me, only, and
                             whoever did it, got scared when their packet
                             sniffers alerted them to the fact that I had
                             told you, I thought my ISP was involved. My
                             tenure at the ISP is complicated by the fact
                             that I have a 1000 year lifetime account. They hate
                             that.

psych3     4:16 pm, oh i see they could have sniffed the message.
                             but sometimes coutners do play up so could be
                             a coincedence, that is if u beleive in
                             coincedences. . . . .

wingrid    4:21 pm, nothing to it really. I think the universe
                             doesn't work reciprocally in straight lines.
                             But I have learnt to recognize when it starts
                             to rip. It is starting now in the fabric of my
                             universe. . . . At such times I duck.

wingrid    4:23 pm, I think by now the ISP realizes that a Barry
                             Hart could get them; as well as the newspaper.
                             I shouldn't have anymore problems from them,
                             hopefully.

wingrid 4:26 pm, yup - web counter at photo of the millennium ram
site now at 243. . . . .

A week later, when I put this tag in, this counter was 516, at 2:43pm on Jan 6, 2000.
let's see, hmmmm? 516^2/(3*100+216^2/(3^6*2^6/(6*6*6)))-243^2/(3^5)=263
which coincidentally, is something resembling Fermat's last theorem. . . . . . . . . . . . .

A week later, when I put this tag in, this counter was 1461, at 2:43pm on Jan 6, 2000.
which means that something like18% of people's systems were sickened; before getting all this story. . . . . .

wingrid    5:02 pm, I took a direct hit. BSOD 00000:0000000 had to
                             reboot. all my PCs are sick and I need to reload
                             windows. did I loose anything? - your last message?

wingrid    5:05 pm, if a lawyer asks if you saw the counter
                             corrupt and then again ok, according to these
                             messages, you would understand what he asked?

wingrid 5:07 pm, can I send you an outline for an affidavit to
get a discovery order against the ISP?
