24

Okay, just a quick trip into the world of a geek...

For those of you who watch 24 (you know, the show with Jack Bauer)...well we watched the 10:00-11:00 episode for the new Day 5 season. Of course it was on Tivo, so when Jack sent an image of the terrorist to Chloe so that she could analyze the detonator on the dude's vest and reprogram Jack's phone to the detonation frequency...

Well, upon closer inspection, the email address he sent it to was co'brian@CTUGOV.net and the image was 106KB...

Not satisfied with that, I did a whois on the domain (there is no website for the domain), and found that it is registered to:

Record created on 14-Oct-2005.



I decided to play along, sent an email to Chloe and cc'd rrgprops@yahoo.com. I actually got a response:



thanks for the response, a lot more to come

Thanks Cindy, I thought it was cool, especially since somebody responded to me :-)

This was the first time I followed up on one of these...I may do it again!
