Okay, I woke up about two hours ago and decided that I'd go ahead and do some deciphering on the message Josh (Araxor) left me. I almost went with binary, but then remembered that, with Josh, nothing is ever that simple.
So, I copied the text as it was and stuck it into a word document. When I did that, I noticed that the 0's made a pattern. So, I highlighted them.
Bingo. Letters encoded in the binary script.
I then reminded myself that it couldn't be that easy. Josh was way too good at ciphers and codes before whatever happened to make him post that.
So, I looked at the letters. The bottom row of binary letters looked to almost be something backwards. I sighed when I remembered half an hour ago that one of his favorite methods of making a secret message was by taking the letters of the alphabet and giving them a numerical order. A was 1, B was 2, C was 3.
That didn't help me much. All it did was make me send the letters through their paces, and, about five minutes ago, I ended up with two words backwards.
Keep running.
That was a rather appropriate message to give me, but I doubt it was directed at me. I'll get back to you on what the top set means; it seems to be an anagram in addition too whatever else he planted.
I also need to get my head around this new time zone. At least in a plane some time passes. I don't have jet lag, I have teleport lag.
