Is anyone else looking at I's?

Post by Captious »

Fot the upper lowercase thing in Tachyons videos this is what I have

I I i I I i I i I I I i i I I i I I i I I i i I i I I i

I I I i I i I i I I i i I I i I I i i I I I i I I I I I i i i I i i i I i i I i I i I i i I I I I i i i I I I I I

i I i I I i I i I I I I i I I i I I I i I I I I I i I I I i I I I i I I I i i i i I I i I I i I I I

oldest video to newest. But I can't get them to dl so I can zoom in so I don't know if I messed up on some of the small text ones. This is just the I's not the contractions. Can anyone either tell me this is okay or fix my mistake(s) please?

That would require knowing when the breaks are unless the breaks are new screens. It also would require knowledge of whether we should be counting contractions of I since they vary in upper and lowercase too. I'm just looking for confirmation at this point. You could turn this into all sorts of things after. Dots and Dashes, Ones and Zeros etc.

maybe it's page by page of the videos then?

like, break down the I and i usage on each page of the videos.

each page change would then be a break, right?

Yes that is what I meant. I've already had these ideas believe me. But the ideas are useless w/o the correct pattern. I couldn't dl the videos to zoom in and my monitor is not the best I need someone else to have gotten that too. Then we can go from there. Deciding about contractions and page breaks.

I tried to fit it into ascii, but can't find anything intelligible in either direction.

Transcript of Urgent: For my helper...

i think it might be time that I thought things over.
i might have too much order in my life, to the point
I can’t make sense of it!

I feel like i am just waiting.
Waiting around for all of the things I want to happen.
Things i need to happen.

Waiting for something…
ANYTHING!
I wait, i wait, I wait.

It’s like I am waiting for you to just tell me what i should be doing.
Waiting for Mom and Dad to make sense of the order for me,
To help me see the meaning in it all.

Even though I feel invisible lately.
[in every facet of my life, actually]

I have nightmares that none of you even care anymore.
And i can’t help but let it get to me.

Am I cut off?
i’ve just been sitting still.
[it feels weird]

in light of that…
I am going to figure out what conclusions I have come to.

i don’t have access to all the answers. It feels like I’ve only had access
to a lot of questions.
I am too confused to try to figure it out on my own.

Maybe once we sit down, look at it all, and talk about it…
Maybe then we will be able to make sense of it!

I think that sounds like a good idea, don’t you?

So can I please come home now?
Pretty please?

I know you’ve all been busy.
I haven’t heard from you in ages.
And I haven’t been able to get ahold of any of you either.

So I am going to use the calling card you gave me for
situations like this.
And I hope that you can make the arrangements for me.

Please remember:
I wouldn’t ask if i had any other way to get home!
I am counting on your help here.

i’ve just been dealing with so much that I can’t handle it all anymore.
I really fear that I have been losing my mind for a while now.

None of us want that. Right?

In my heart,
I know that I am making the right choice in regards to my difficult decision.

With that in mind:
I anticipate that i will only be here another day, maybe?

i will have a few goodbyes, which are important since i should try to leave
on a pleasant note.
i can handle that, I am sure.

Before the sun rises today, I will gather all that i can.
There’s a lot to pack. i will leave with more than I came
here with.
I might have a few souvenirs to grab as well.

i cannot carry much, so I’d prefer to courier the bulk of it.
Once you receive this message, can you immediately send
a courier over to retrieve it all?

Once the plan is in motion, I’ll use the calling card.
I just need to overcome a few restrictions I’m dealing with.
But they shouldn’t be a problem.

Hopefully I will see you soon!

XOXO,
T

Tried translating the I and i into binary, with each rep by 0 and 1. either way it turns into random puncuation symbols. Actually looks like swear words in a comic strip.

So anyway, don't worry about going that way.

what about taking each I and i per page and using that as morse code?

each page would make one letter.

each video would make one word (maybe an anagram)?

and I am assuming we mean the "I" and "i" used in first person only? With uses of "I'm," "I'd," "I'll," etc.?
