:) I was being slightly ironic. (And on second thoughts, I might scrub the sig a little -- newbies probably don't need to see it!) Anyway, I've been looking over past results and I've found some interesting things. I think you and Emily are right. There's something odd about the 2016 draw: the...

Not sure if it's equivocal enough.

I really, really hope it comes together for you and the others in 2017. I'm no stranger to wanting someting so badly and seeing it slip away...

Thanks so much Simon and everyone! It's a massive relief and very exciting- I was walking on clouds in class today! Love all you guys. And I'm really praying for the 2014 crew who missed out-- hopefully 2017 is your year. (And it looks like I owe Cthulhu some lambs for my piece of luck...)

Looks like I'm another one: 9XX. :) Though with so few selectees, this probably puts me near the back of the queue! Hopefully it'll be OK...

No barcode ==> not real. Come on, folks. Calm down. Edit: ha, didn't see the barcode. Still looks dodgy.

I think we should propose a more robust system to the DoS and see if they bite. There's money in them thar government contracts!

Very good point. Though this thread is topical right now (not to mention fun). So maybe the new thread should be called 'OC 2016 Selectees information thread' or something.

That 'we are experiencing technical difficulties' message pops up in my experience when I hit 'back' and try entering the details again. It even shows when I enter my wife's details, see the 'not selected' message, then hit the back button and try again. The important message is 'Session timed...

Your photo shows a twitter feed that doesn't mention anything about KCC finding the problem or Timeout people being winners. Did you post the right photo?

What you're saying could well be true. The thing is that a certain subset of people only get the timeout, all the time, everywhere. The phenomenon is reproduced over and over for those cases. Even in the same browser session where a non-selectee gets the 'not selected' message. So saying...

Bloody hell. Humanity can always surprise me with our capacity to invent creative ways to be ruthless and scheming.

Now this is an interesting thing. Let's say someone got hold of someone else's 1NL. How would that benefit them? To be issued a visa, you need to show at the consulate with a passport, birth certificate and other goodies. I suppose you could fill out someone's ds260 with all the wrong...

Heh, tried that. No dice. Typical IT net ops: 'Problem? What problem? No problem with our system. Desktop issue.' Later: 'Oh look, whatever problem you thought we were responsible for, but weren't, is fixed! Yes, we're boss.'

I'm very much inclined to agree. But I'm not excited yet because it might blow up: maybe I'm not really selected or, perhaps more likely, I have a dud CN! :p

I was tied up :) Sent about fifteen mins ago!

Are computer generated random numbers really random? ;)

If it's any help, I'm a math tragic and I look for patterns in things too. I get where you're coming from. :) But it's likely not a thing with the dates.

PM on its way...

Gah! TCPFlow. Back to the mac. I've added the HTML source in the link below (txt file). I'll add the packet sniffer output in an edit. http://1drv.ms/1If4WZU
