We should keep calling him at work like on Seinfeld until he gets fired Laughing

Just kidding, of course!

Called the number, got an answer on the first ring, sounds like a real person who's responding, i'm gonna see if i can find out where the number belongs to, i told her i was calling about the job and was immediately transfered to voicemail, I used Skype for the call so they apparently except calls from all numbers.

Okay, here's what i've got.

(858) 812-2838 is Unpublished or Unavailable
(858) 812-2838
Type: Land Line
Provider: Teleport Communications
Location: La Jolla, CA

Edit: I also have screenshots of the microsoft version of google earth of the area i'll post if requested. also, if requested i can remove this information.

I decompiled the SWF file. I can make something out of it, but I can't really program ActionScript. If anyone can, take a look, will you?

*de-lurks*

Thought this would be good to have on file here - I made a transcript of the interview of Dr. Gough, in case we need to look at it later.

Quote:

Interviewer: So, Dr. Gough, what new directions and techniques have you been working on?

Dr. Gough: Well for many years now, I've been working on trying to explore the boundaries in the holography field, first moving into photographic representation of objects three-dimensionally, making images that we all can see and interact with, and then try see how far we can extend that interaction beyond what we've done up to this point.

Interviewer: You've got a reputation for taking nothing at face value. Some say you don't respect your predecessors, traditions, or even laws.

Dr. Gough: Oh, I never presume anything. After all, anything in science that may be said to be impossible, might be possible. We have to further examine it and press the limits. People think that laws, scientific laws as they hear about them, are absolute things. They're not. They're merely descriptions. And, they represent current knowledge. [Loud snap in background] But current knowledge is always increasing as we continue our research, so I've made it a goal in my life to find those areas where people want to things that are said to be impossible, and try to do them. And often enough, I've managed to do just that.

[Video skips, perhaps a break or skipping over part of the interview]

Interviewer: Continuing our discussion with Dr. Gough, what are your guiding principles?

Dr. Gough: Integrity, and perseverence. Those are my core values. And of course, I also believe in the value of hard work.

Interviewer: Perseverence is fine, but what about balance, work, life, family? Do you have time for these things?

Dr. Gough: I have excelled in science, and I've made that the focus of my life.

Interviewer: Dr. Gough, thank you so much for your time today.

Dr. Gough: Always a pleasure.

It has to be a big player... to put ads in the New York Times, Craigslist and LinkedIn, you gotta have some brass.

hah d'oh!

For some reason I had "SixToStart" in my head Razz

sheesh... yes SixApart was also behind livejournal.
Still, there was no reference in that formatted feed page to sixapart. But if they're behind software for holomove, then it's worth shrugging off I think. Confused

I hope it has nothing to do with microsoft. If it does I will cry all over my keyboard and break my Macbook.

oddly, when I loaded the RSS feed for the News (feedburner link), the formatted feed page appeared, and somehow the tracker caught that the sixapart.com homepage was requested. No idea where from. For some reason when I refreshed this time (not the other times I checked out the feed page) it returned a standard RSS xml feed, with no other formatted content. Perhaps it was cached before and they recently fixed the reference *shrug*. Is SixApart involved? Or was this just a fluke?

Anyway, so no there's no revealing secret requests or anything just from a general use of the flash. I haven't checked the source yet though, but I'm thinking for now that there's not really anything to find. We have our 'puzzle' =)

@nighthawk

Area codes aren't much trouble. I'm impressed too.

Plus, why WOULDN'T it be from MS? They've sure got their "power user" target audience/demographic here. Why not send a game over?

EDIT: Well, never mind. I'm having my doubts about Microsoft now. They wouldn't host it on a cheap web host like bluehost.com; or would they for the sake of the ad agency? I'm going crazy.

That's even a San Diego area code.

Who are these people? I'm impressed!

Maybe it's me... but isn't the point of a massive viral marketing campaign from a professional corporation to promote something? Wouldn't the point be to, you know, know the PRODUCT?
