 		Solved.
Got it.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The Hokey Pokey song is a reference to putting something in and then taking it out again. This page talks about Archimedes investigating the Stomachion puzzle and his notes on a document that were later removed/erased.

There is actually a literary term for this (what the word "grammata" was supposed to clue us into, I think): palimpsest.

This leads us to http://www.theunraveling.com/palimpsest.html

I'm not quite sure what "diaman" and "phormidon" have to do with it, but there you have it.

 		'The Ants Go Marching' plays in the background. Here are the lyrics...

Quote:

The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching one by one,
The little one stops to suck his thumb
And they all go marching down to the ground
To get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ants go marching two by two, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching two by two, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching two by two,
The little one stops to tie his shoe
And they all go marching down to the ground
To get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ants go marching three by three, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching three by three, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching three by three,
The little one stops to climb a tree
And they all go marching down to the ground
To get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ants go marching four by four, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching four by four, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching four by four,
The little one stops to shut the door
And they all go marching down to the ground
To get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ants go marching five by five, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching five by five, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching five by five,
The little one stops to take a dive
And they all go marching down to the ground
To get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ants go marching six by six, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching six by six, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching six by six,
The little one stops to pick up sticks
And they all go marching down to the ground
To get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ants go marching seven by seven, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching seven by seven, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching seven by seven,
The little one stops to pray to heaven
And they all go marching down to the ground
To get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ants go marching eight by eight, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching eight by eight, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching eight by eight,
The little one stops to shut the gate
And they all go marching down to the ground
To get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ants go marching nine by nine, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching nine by nine, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching nine by nine,
The little one stops to check the time
And they all go marching down to the ground
To get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ants go marching ten by ten, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching ten by ten, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching ten by ten,
The little one stops to say "THE END"
And they all go marching down to the ground
To get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


81 is 9x9, so 81x81 is 9x9x9x9.

9x9 'stops to check the time'

and

10x10 is 'the end'

A clue, or teasing us that the end is near?

 		And the background image...

Looks like an ant hill, some sort of rainbow-colored bird, a server farm, and SimCity.

The ant hill has plenty of ants and ties in to the song. I don't know about the bird. The server farm has a lot of servers, you've also got '9s' as a reference on uptime for servers (4 9s is 99.99% uptime). And SimCity...

 		does the "turnitupdrownitout"-> in the source code have anything to do with it, or is it just saying, pay attention to the music?
