I guess that Gough made the crossword puzzle up from scratch not just filled in wrong answers on an easy crossword. otherwise it'd be a coincidence to have:
very clever anyway. i also figure that OOG they probably expected to us to put these parallel answers together a bit sooner, which is why Nate has pointed it out for us, under the guise of his continued curiosity.
In Game: Nate has shown some curiosity about what the crossword puzzle means. Don't you think we should let him know about our flickr findings? I'm going to post a quick reply to point him in the right direction.
My only concern is that HR knows about his blog (they mentioned it in the email) and so perhaps we shouldn't share too much sensitive info in his blog. I don't think it's that important yet, but later on maybe it might be; wouldn't want to get our insider in any more trouble.
Edit: here's the comment I made on the blog...
Quote:
Hi Nate:
It turns out that the fake answers mean,
important: locate something hidden
and they are filled in over the real answers,
images community, random knowledge
this led a friend of mine to suspect that there might be an online image community where something important was hidden. and lo and behold, there is a flickr account by the name of randomknowledge. here's the link.
there is... wait for it... another a puzzle! (Which my friend has already solved.)
I don't want to ruin the puzzle for you, I know you're a fan, but as the crossword says, this is important.
The solved puzzle says: Holomove=Hollowmoves.
I think it's time to start sleeping with one eye open, ear to the ground and all that.
Let us know what you make of this equation. And take care!
Alex
Edit 2: it just occurred to me that Roxanne's comment that says "L@@K in gmail" could well be pointing Nate to an email of this solution. Oh well. This is the first time I've even connected the blogger account name to the possible email address: CodeWtrN8...gmail.com
Edit 3: tried sending an email to that gmail address and it failed. so I don't know what the gmail address for Nate would be. Any way of finding out?

Sorry if this is a little redundant but I found this website that talks about Physicist David Bohm.
Quote:
[Bohm] had begun in his youth with the Copenhagen interpretation, in which the particle does not exist, which he had always found unsatisfactory.
...
Then finally, in the superimplicate order, the particle does not exist except as an abstraction in our minds or an epiphenomenon perceived by our instruments. What exists is the holomove-ment, which in this case consists of the continuously changing quantum field (or implicate order), and the superquantum potential (or superimplicate order).
The picture on the flickr page has the Copenhagen sign, could this be what it is referring to? Does anyone understand these theories and can explain it to me in like 5 year old terms?? I'm clueless

When I found the flickr account for "randomknowledge", I emailed the link to Nate. Before he replied I sent a second email telling him about the "holomove=hollowmoves" solve thebruce came up with. Here's what Nate said.

Hi Roxanne,
Nice find (friend). Unfortunately that doesn't mean anything special to me.
I wish my name backwards was as cool as yours. "Nahtan" not so hot.
Nate
Now a weird thing about the second email I sent, I used the word "hollomoves" twice. In both instances they are now highlighted yellow. No kloo why.

I asked Nathan what George had said to him about the beers since he said in his blog that the CEO mentioned it again, this is what he posted back:
Quote:
I'm pretty over it. George was pretty nice about it. He's a good guy, but when Erik comes around everyone is on edge. I relieved some stress though... if YouTube ever lets me upload, you'll see.
So, more video coming from Nathan.

Something I just thought of on IRC in a discussion;
The Emergen-C packet was in the original package, right? Maybe the packages were from Gough who faked his death. A good way to show that he was in danger/the company was in danger. He has to leave because there was an "emergen-c" and he's warning us by guiding us to Nate.

no, thats ok, sry if i seemed defensive... its just... you mentioned grammar, and grammar is sort of a sore subject of mine. Grammar and I haven't had the best of relationships throughout school... not because I have trouble with it, mind you, I just had a fun-deficit during those lectures...

You can create a name for a flickr that is different from your yahoo ID (my flickr is konamouse but it is attached to a different yahoo profile/name, not my konamouse yahoo account).
Also, I hate to ask this, but since I am blocked from blogspot at work (as others may be), is it possible that when a new blog is posted, someone can archive it in here (and what if something changes, we then have the original).
Hawk, not to rain on your parade- cnet already outed McCann. I guess it just never got crossposted here so we could cover our eyes and pretend we didn't see it. But, earlier today in the chat when Vecheeso contacted Holomove, and the receptionist gave him(her? sorry, don't know ) an alternate email address to contact, it went to an ad writer who lists McCann on his resume. We can only assume he was mistakenly given an OOG number, but regardless, it looks like the guy he(she?) was told to contact. Regardless, yes, I think we can count on McCann being the PMs here. So from here on out... shhhhhhhhh...

Just had a thought; Flickr account, since being bought by yahoo, are also Yahoo IDs.
That means that randomknowledge might be a Yahoo IM handle, and it seems it is. Currently offline, but exists.
EDIT: Another thought; maybe this is marketing for an ad agency? Maybe they need more jobs?

Gunslinger, Just to be clear it's "re" not "are" because of the grammar. Were, not we're.
Also I think "and" and "on" are debatable since it could be correct without adding those two words. That would leave "let a re i"
Just my 2 cents.
i was adding the 'a' to the 're' because 're' isnt a word, thats all. Good point though, some of the words aren't necessary.

And for uptodate's sakes, just cos:
(reponse to my connection request on LinkedIn)

Caroline,
Thanks for your keen interest in Holomove.
While I've wanted to establish a network at Linkedin my work has had me too busy to do so. It would be a pleasure to have you in my network given your interest. If you have applied for a job here I'm certain that either Annie Goldstein (our recruiter) or the team manager for the position you are applying for will be in touch but I do know that they have a good number of resumes for the open positions we have at this time.
Also, the policy here (established by the founder Dr. Gough) puts applicants for all positions through a number of puzzles and tests before you are even given a phone interview. Good luck with your application! Nice to have you in my network.
Eliza
Ofcourse now I should probably use my actual work experience in my cv, as it's listed in LinkedIn...

Hopefully not breaking rules, I'm still new to ARG stuff, but I can't help myself now. I want to see where this all goes.
Basically, I told my school about the job posting, and they may take it down or do some more research, and possibly get more answers unintentionally.
I did get a bit more info which I didn't see in this thread after searching and so forth. For Holomove, the UCSD career website lists its contact info thusly:

I was thinking I should LET it go, but before I could even get this post up, the CEO mentions it again. So much for "we want you to feel comfortable here," AND "we are all about teamwork." I suppose trust falls and name games would be A better way to encourage teamwork? We weRE all willing to work last weekend to keep ON schedule, but Erik closed down the office for repairs. In my experience, there are two fuels for teams. Coffee and beer. Stress and relief. This wasn't a kegger, it was just a couple of beers. Am I totally off base?
