Can't...stop.....moving words....around....
Hm so far I've noticed "program" and "number" gets changed into bits
Edit: and "ms"
Edit2: and "hell" Is there supposed to be a pattern lol?

The common word/position database it uses is here. Each line consists of a word, x, y and color. The client reloads the database once per second via a XMLHttp object and animates the words to their new correct positions.Originally Posted by jverkoey
If you drag, the word id, new x and y are sent here.
This is the upload code:
and the download code:Code:function updateDB(id,x,y){ var ajaxOb=initxmlhttp(); encodedStr="id="+id+"&x="+x+"&y="+y; var url="/TESTe428sdhv?"+Math.random(); ajaxOb.open("POST",url,true); ajaxOb.setRequestHeader("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded"); ajaxOb.send(encodedStr); ajaxOb.onreadystatechange=function(){ if(ajaxOb.readyState==4){ var response=ajaxOb.responseText; if (response.length>0){if (response == "ok") {updateCounter--;}} } } try{ajaxOb.send(null);}catch(e){} }
Now that the protocol is known, someone could create a C program using the same database.Code:function udSlDisp(){ var ajaxOb=initxmlhttp(); var url="/TEST495jfdqn?"+Math.random(); ajaxOb.open("GET",url,true); ajaxOb.onreadystatechange=function(){ if(ajaxOb.readyState==4){ var response=ajaxOb.responseText; if (response.length>0 && updateCounter==0){ counter++; var respParts=response.split("\n"); var firstLine=respParts[0].split(","); var next_slot=firstLine[1]; var tStr=""; for(var iDB=0;iDB<slotsArray.length;iDB++){ if (dragId != iDB){ line=respParts[iDB+1].split(","); if (line[0] != slotsArray[iDB].innerHTML){ slotsArray[iDB].innerHTML=line[0]; } tx[iDB]=line[1]; ty[iDB]=line[2]; var lx=parseInt(slotsArray[iDB].style.left); var ly=parseInt(slotsArray[iDB].style.top); if (lx!=tx[iDB] || ly!=ty[iDB]){ needfly=true; } } tStr += tx[iDB] + "," +ty[iDB] + "\n"; } if (needfly && !needfly2){fly();} } date=new Date(); now=date.getTime(); if ((now-lastaction)<60000) { window.setTimeout("udSlDisp()",1000); asleep=false; } else { asleep=true; } } } ajaxOb.send(null); }![]()
When I checked before, the front page was counting down in 1.5 seconds increment from 406727, which by my calculations is 7.11 days.
I'd be surprised if it is actually a Microsoft site considering:
I'm guessing a fan site. Actually, a search on the telephone number provided in this post suggests it is the work of one Allen D. Hart.Apache/2.0.46 (Red Hat) Server at www.101101000.com Port 80
EDIT: According to Google, I'm the first person to post the culprit. Do I get a prize?![]()

nice job anonytmouse !!!
Have I crossed the line?
On the main http://www.101101000.com/ if you type in certain words different things happen to the globe.
For instance, type:
Halo or bungie - The globe turns into a "ring of light" AKA a halo
I love bees - a heart replaces the globe
Origen 360 - Ants start crawling on the screen
revolution - The globe turns red
Bill Gates - The lines on the globe disappear
I'm still trying out different words and things but I'm pretty sure this is a Microsoft involved site because everything relates to MS in some way.
