Traveller1st

[traveller1st]

Hi everyone,

I'm the same Traveller1st from over at Mike B's board as you can probably tell from the same name and avatar clew

I'm from Northern Ireland or if you prefer to have a go at our accent it pronounced Norniron. Ex-graphic designer of 17 years , musician (bass, guitar, singer songwriter), kitchen floor luthier (amateur instrument repair/restoration) last project was a cherry red squier stagemaster bought on ebay and upgraded with fender parts and a dimarzio super distortion humbucker and 2 high output singles.

Build my own PC's and enjoy 3D work (still learning). Running current system through 40' HDTV. Used to play wing in rugby.

Music - Slayer to Mary Chapin Carpenter and everything in between - if I like it, I like it.

So ..... Zodiac.

The 340, that's what got me into all this. The 340 and ZKDecrypto (thank's Glurk). I was drawn by the fact there was a mystery. That was about 4-5 years ago and it's still a mystery. All I can say is I'm glad I didn't have the inclination to join a forum back then - "I found a word, this could blow the whole case wide open!!!". I''m now thankfully older and stoopider and seem to have forgotten how to go to sleep.

The visual aspects of this case were what primarily held my attention as they were the little mysteries, the ciphers, the symbols and so on but since joining Mike's board I plucked up the courage and posted stuff on the handwriting aspects. It's
not handwriting analysis because I don't know how to do that and probably couldn't effectively anyway given what we have to work with.

I don't have a POI and don't really want one although I do enjoy reading about everyone else's theories in that regard. I'm a brainstormer kinda thinker in my approach so all information is of interest to me whether it be fact or speculation because it can make me think of something seemingly unrelated that I might not have thought of otherwise. If you have seen my posts on the other board I tend to spend some the putting random stuff out there just in-case it inspires anyone in their own research even If I don't know what to do with it and occasionally I'll get a run on something where the information keeps presenting itself.

I found my way here by accident. I was looking for a cleaner version of the 408 for pattern comparison in google images when I clicked on one image and ended up on a thread on this board dated from yesterday and recognised some names from posts a few years back on Mike's board and I'd enjoyed reading them so I decided to join.

Call me Trav

EDIT: That was back in 2011 not much add except I am mostly here now and to thank Morf13 for an excellent board and now this new website.

Hey, in the States there is a radio show hosted by Dee Snyder, do you perhaps listen to it in your neck of the woods?

I don't but I've googled it and looks interesting. Might try and find it airing online. House of Hair? Is that the one?

She's a proper old skool one from the 80's too. I'm a slave to gear, if it's got cool lights on it I somehow need it or even if it doesn't. Ebay has been my salvation and my ruin in equal measure.
