Safe

This is what my computer set-up at home used to look like:



And this is now:



... I’m safe. Thank you to everybody who has written or tried to connect with messages of support or concern. They didn’t try to silence me (at least, not there in the office), but Randall did summarily dismiss me. I think that’s the first time I’ve seen him happy.

You know I said I was working on automating my flat? Before I left I had a webcam up in my bedroom as a motion sensor. The stream was archiving over SSH on a friend’s server. At 3.01AM before the flat network collapsed, the camera caught this:



I keep getting strangers trying to auth me on MSN and Skype. I think the only people I can trust are either dead or imprisoned. Some kid tried to Skype me but there was nothing but silence on the other end.

I'm working on a plan. I'm going to need help, so if you’re on this side keep an ear to the ground. And if you’re not, I’m coming for my friends.
