While we're on the subject of wikis, here's what I've got so far for some wikilogos. I'll probably do a handful more tonight/tomorrow, but I want to have these up for suggestions while I'm doing others to keep them in mind.

I'm aware that they're larger, but it's easier to work that way. They look fine at the appropriate size. :) Keep in mind this is "untouchedup," but I'm not going to spend time on that if people totally don't like a logo or something.

Edit: please view at full size. Looks terrible compressed like that.

Did some coding Attached is a file containing a text representation of the black and white pixels in the original black/white noise-or-barcode picture. Each 0 or 1 represents a single "block" in the original picture (i.e. 2 or 3 pixels wide/high), with 0 = black and 1 = white.

Interesting things to note:

1. The pixel array is 256 pixels wide by 256 pixels high.

2. There seem to be 2 areas, each rotated 180 degrees and placed beneath itself. There's the "main" area, on the right, which we found before, and there's a 4-pixel-wide strip on the left hand side which is rotated and placed "below". In essence then, once the rotations have been removed, I think there are 2 things here: a 4x128 strip in the top-left of the image, and a 251x128 "body" in the top-right.

It's also worth noting that we can't tell where the "break" in rotation is - it's possible that the top half has been rotated to get the bottom half, but also possible that the left half of each area has been rotated to get the right.

3. It doesn't seem to convert into ASCII, at least, not using it in the format it is now. I looked at it on it's side (i.e. so the left hand edge becomes the top) but can't see any obvious signs of ASCII (no repeated 0110xxxx patterns).

4. Perhaps with all the talk of PGP here, we're looking at a key and a code, or a public key and a session key? The left-hand strip is a total size of 512 bits, which could be a public key. I'm not sure how session keys work in PGP, or what size they're likely to be though.

Busy this evening, so I'm sure plenty will happen I'll look into this more when I get a chance, or if it looks extremely relevant, hum...

Nice work all, wiki updated mostly.

The whois for gatethreeincident.com also shows it was registered just the other day, on 26th June. Seems weird - he first mentioned gate 3 on the 23rd. Maybe registration takes a few days to go through? Or maybe he just wanted us to find the gate 3 article?

[Edit - forgot I was going to post other stuff ]

Eric: I guess the file will help out once I get it - very curious. One of the AA's got away - so I think they are making the file public to those who have the key - very confusing

This, plus Stuart's talk, plus Eric posting my PGP key at me all makes me think the file will be PGP encrypted.

On the "who is Stuart Munro?" question: Eric's LinkedIn profile page (now gone - see previous post) was private, but if you logged into LinkedIn you could see it. I think that mentioned that he worked for xperience communications (http://www.xperiencecommunications.com/) - so mason dropped them a mail and got a reply back from Stuart, I believe.

Eric just contacted me using Google Talk. Sorry, but I've been so busy I'm not quite sure what's up.

That was another anagram for Threatening Deceit, but I dismissed it because...well, it's kinda nonsense.

Wish I would've posted it, too.

[Mason]

I don't think that 'never' was there when I looked. Hmm.

Also, Stuart replied with the tie question:

You missed META name="never," which seems to be important to note because it's spelled normally this time, as opposed to "nevar."

Bah, I watched Highlander while you guys were having fun? What a waste of an evening... Catch up tomorrow.

[DelVillan.]

Awesome.

Sorry about the delays I'm having. I found that stuff a while ago, but my internet's been on and off all day. Doing my best :)

THE ESCAPED ALIEN and THE GATE 3 INCIDENT

[DelVillan.]

This may or may not be important, but after looking for anagrams of Threatening+deceit, there is "Gate Three incident," or "Gate 3 Incident." If you do a search for the latter, it happens to turn up something that allegedly happened in Area 51. I find it to be a red flag that anything anagrams to "Gate Three" at all, really.
Can anyone check that out? My internet is iffy due to storms, so I'll be looking for any more possible clues in the two words instead.

EDIT: Heh, I guess it was important.

Well, if we are going to go all Lewis Carroll, then here is the poem, Jabberwocky, found as a part of his novel Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (1871).

Quote:

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. "Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!" He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought— So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought. And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came! One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back. "And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!" He chortled in his joy. 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.
