The notes aren't that random, they all fit into a key - personally if I wanted acess to as many notes to translate into a code I'd use C major because it's got all the natural notes in it - no sharps or flats. I think the music is meant to sound a bit other-worldly, and there's not enough different notes, most of them are the same ones just octaves higher or lower
It still could be some sort of code. Binary signals are referred to as 1 or 0, on or off, or high or low, so perhaps them using the same notes from a different octave alludes to this in some way. I dunno really, and I won't be on a PC with sound until later, but it might still be worth telling us what the notes are and seeing if anyone can see some sort of message.

Thats not the change though, that page is delivered dynamically by the server when there is no index.html page for that directory. However, that page tells us that the root "perplexcity.com" was updated with a new folder/file on saturday...
The old /tmp directory is still up and you can see from there that the change happened at 16.50.

LOL, thats what I'm saying. There was a change on the 14th May at 16:50, however, that page is not the change, that page mearly tells us that there was a change on the root of the site.

Okay, okay
Last time I dabble in something I know nothing about!
Well, it probably won't be but hey.
Least I learnt something

I will translate them as soon as my ears feel a bit better, am suffering with an ear infection, anyone else fancy a try?

I'm no musician either, unfortunately. However, it's clear that the options for literally spelling something out in the form of musical notation are pretty limited (there just aren't enough letters corresponding to notes to make very many intelligible words)...
So, I'd say that, if the notes *do* mean something, then it would probably require another susbstitution code further along the line to 'translate' fully...but what that might be...we'd have to wait and see...

well, without being able to hear properly from one ear or at all from the other (there's a kind of high pitch squeak which is v annoying) I'd say there's only about 3 notes in it anyway. Will have a sleep and get right on it later

update, iv just found logo on the coffe mug, i cant post the image because im at work, but i worked in starbucs when i was 17 and i think you can rule them out, but if you look just to the right of the lipstick and play with the light settings so that the shadows are towned down a bit, you can make it out, anyone else see this?

I think it's two things - A lamp standing in front of a building with a chimney.

I think if you compared it with the other light on the right of the lampost you would see that it is just the middle part of the lampost sticking up
