Is anyone else looking at I's?

The Creators tell us OpAphid is no more. Read up on what made it great and relive old memories here.

Here is the first video. The I's are interesting, but so are the .'s and brackets. The justification changes in some frames too, but I didn't capture it. I didn't double check this, so there could be errors.

Transcript:

so I haven't updated this in awhile

and I removed all of my old videos.
(long story, but i learned my lesson)

it's nice to have fallen into a gig
that'll keep me nested in a somewhat familiar habitat...

...but I fear that is just an illusion.

at least I keep telling myself that.
but how long can i keep observing
an illusion as real before my mind
accepts it as reality?

thankfully, the weather is nice.
plenty of nature to expore. every
week I learn about new places to
go hiking or swimming...

...if and when i get that rare free
moment, I hope to have the energy
left to actually prioritize that!
(double optimism)

all summer, the momentum of my
day-to-day demands has kept me
feeling like I am trapped in a state
of exhausted motion

[irony noted]

at least it's helping me ignore just
how surreal I should find all of this,
and i am ignoring it quite well.

i am trying to approach it as my
ability to keep up with these
demands directly reflects qualities
of my inner self...

...and my inner self has a fierce
determination to be able to watch
the World Series this year.

right now, nothing sounds better
than an actual game. I could use an
excuse to try out some obscene
gestures i've acquired

but given that I was so
overwhelmed with busy work
yesterday that i had to be reminded
that it was already the Fall Equinox...

I am going to try and keep my
expectations realistic. Believe me,
I know that the closest i may get is
watching it on live TV.

I am glad at least that I found the
time to write a little tonight.

i should remind myself to do it
more often.

I've had a long day, so i'm off to let
my mind focus on a fantasy that
actually might show even greater
optimism on my part...

[and believe me, if i could help
make it happen I would]

but I'd love it if the Dodgers and the
Angels faced off next month.

but given my track record as of
late, i haven't been so hot with
most of my predictions.

[I most sincerely hope I'm due]

xoxox,

Taiya can you post that in its own thread, similar to the one i started for the other video?

I don't wanna just copy and paste your hard work when you deserve all the credit!

But please follow the same Subject Line format (so we can identify them easily).

No problem, and yes, please work on the second one. One is enough for me.

By the way. I'm thinking the vids descriptions might be important too. You should add them to their threads too.

yes. and the account is 9 months old.

Tachyon is also from the same area as one of the Creators.

I am trying to find an article that was linked off the code to see if there is a connection in what high school Tachyon went to.

Okay, done, but shouldn't we put the other one there too?

I'm logging off for the night. Good luck!

Oops, sorry. I didn't look at the names of the topics properly. Do you know how I can change the name of the thread?

EDIT: wanted to include which video this was for: for the "update of sorts video"

So I sat down and wrote down all the "eyes" for each screen, used a morse code translator and a lot of it didn't translate to anything but jiberish and there were also long strings of dots and yeah....didn't work. so I broke it down and used each line as the separation. For example:


so I haven't updated (I)
this in awhile (iii)


and so on.....and for the whole video:

I/iii/Ii/i/iiii/i/iii/Iiii/Ii/ii/iii/ii/ii/I/iiii/ii/I/iii/ii/iiIi/i/i/iii/Iii/iiiii/iiii/iii/iii/i/ii/ii/ii/ii/I/ii/iI/i/ii/i/i/Ii/iiiiI/ii/iii/II/iiii/iii/Ii/i/i/ii/iii/iI/Iii/i/ii/ii/IiI/I/iii

I figured that the lower case "eyes" were dots and the upper case "eyes" were the dashes...so, I got this for the whole thing:

-/.../-././...././.../-.../-./../.../../../-/..../../-/.../../..-./././.../-../...../..../.../..././../../../../-/../.-/./../././-./....-/../.../--/..../.../-./././../.../.-/-.././../../-.-/-/...

which translates to:

T/S/N/E/H/E/S/B/N/I/S/I/I/T/H/I/T/S/I/F/E/E/S/D/5/H/S/S/E/I/I/I/I/T/I/A/E/I/E/E/N/4/I/S/M/H/S/N/E/E/I/S/A/D/E/I/I/K/T/S

I have no clue what to make of that but that's what I found.... :?

TSNEHESBNISIITHITSIFEESD5HSSEIIIITIAEIEEN4ISMHSNEEISADEIIKTS


I have no clue what to make of that but that's what I found.... :?
There's still the possibility the 'I's are the dots and the 'i's the dashes. Is there a way I can help with this process? Also, be sure to post the results on each of the vids analysis threads.

if there is significance in the I/i thing, it would have to be the first-person usage (not just any usage). When else is an uppercase I really used, and where else would the lowercase i look so out of place?

just want to make sure we're trying the easier route before the more complex one!

Here's it assuming that the upper case "eyes" are dots and the lower case "eyes" are dashes...

./---/.-/-/----/-/---/.---/.-/--/---/--/--/./----/--/./---/--/--.-/-/-/---/.--/-----/----/---/---/-/--/--/--/--/./--/-./-/--/-/-/.-/----./--/---/../----/---/.-/-/-/--/---/-./.--/-/--/--/.-././---


Translates to:

EOAT---- TOJAMOMME---- MEOMQTTOW0---- OOTMMMMEMNTMTTA9MOI---- OATTMONWTMMREO

not sure which is right or even if this is the right direction to go.....but I'm off to bed for now, g'luck everyone!!!

OpAphid just updated her profile again.
It's quite doubtful that the perpetrator of this betrayal would use coding methods so primitive & obvious.
