I've been given my own wiki server to manage. It is located at http://www.wikicomplete.info . I'll create the new GDN wiki tonight and activate the forum. I would appreciate it if everyone goes ahead and joins the main site (and the Hive Mind http://community.wikicomplete.info

For teaching hackers about converting from one number base to another…..

GDN has discovered a series of coded messages and been able to decipher only the fact that the DAY NUMBER portion of the messages date is instumental in decoding it.

========================================
If the message is dated 8 Dec 2007, the base would be 8

Then the hacker converts the numbers from Base(daynumber) into Base(10),
… then converts to ASCII. This would come after Square1's assignment, of course.)

I saw them in QBExpress 24. They look like fun.
I see forum posts about them and even reference made to them on your FB Tutorial page.
I would like to find them on your site.
I've check several FB Tutorials and even the GDN site map.
The Hacker has managed to evade my every detection.
Has he moved? Been liquidated? Sold out to MicroSoft?

Here is an idea for a challenge.

The robot has locked Sandman's lunch in his robot-stomach. To open up the robots stomach, you must print a key that looks like:

Perhaps, but do I want to? :P Either way, I'll try saying a few things on the forum (although considering most of it looks like Q and A stuff, not sure where I'll fit in).

Oh, and by the way, you know that game for that competition? And how you wanted to know when you can play it? Well, it should be done next week.

It's getting popular. Any help at all would help, even just talking on the forum. But then again, you're a core member of GDN — you can learn anything. :) —hartnell

Wow. I never noticed how many people were in the GM Wiki community. But, I'm not sure how I could help, I know nothing about GM.

No worries :)

Here is my next one, but it's quite a step up from the others -

Probably should come later or be made easier, anyways, here we go:

do until a = "Good Luck"
read a

sleep 3000
cls

loop
end

data"Bad news…"
data"We have a traitor within our organization."
data"Sensitive information has been leaked from"
data"the restricted area of our…"
data"…Department for Questionable Practices."
data"Only 10 people are able to access this area."
data"We know that the traitor must have accessed the information…"
data"…on September 18, 2007 while he or she was alone in the department."
data"Here is the raw data log of the entry control system from that day."
data"The first number of each line is the hour entered in 24 hour format"
data"Then the minutes, then the hour and then the minute when they left"
data"and lastly the ID number of that person."

Er, no, it was originally intended to be a wiki / book and was hosted here. There was much that was supposed to happen with it when I gave it to QBE to be a regular feature, but it was severely goofed. Only one challenge was to be published at a time and it wasn't even formatted correctly. It spurred me for a minute to continue work on the series but I got dragged down again. (And I'm still cleaning the mess here.)

I think you have both skill and the right idea about challenges so I'll contact other people who have expressed interest and try to get us all together. In the meantime, please post more challenge ideas :)

Hi again,

My own availability can be a bit patchy at times as well, but the concept is up my alley and being involved won't hurt my own learning curve, so I sure would be happy lending a hand.

I gather initially it was just meant to be a regular contribution to QBE, where do you want to take it now?

Continuing FBHacker: Re: Continuing FBHacker

Tue, 13 Nov 2007 10:25:14 +0000

Actually there's been much talk behind the scenes about turning FBHacker into a wiki / book. Since the publication of FBHacker in QBE, many people have discovered it. If I were to start an FBHacker project, would you be interested in helping out? I'm really busy and even though I really want to do this, I can't dedicate the time without for-sure gonna-be-there dedicated members to help.

Hello, got myself an identity now:)

Just thought the last part could be extended by Penny saying that it's all very well, but manual control is so 10 minutes ago and N00b should make himself useful by building an autopilot for the mower…

What do you reckon?

Also got a few more ideas, might manage to put another one together tomorrow - I trust you'll let me know when you want be to back off
