 		[UPDATE]Path of Least Time 21st May 2006

Everything closing in
Sunday, May 21 2006, 02:48 PM

I spotted Miranda climbing up the slope towards Silburn-Griggs about five minutes ago. She's only a tiny figure, barely visible without binoculars, but it's a good indication of how close I am to her. From the way she was moving, she seemed exhausted, clearly suffering from Oxxypro deprivation. She won't be going any further than the mines, that's for certain. As for me, I'm feeling fine, but on edge. I estimate that I'll be at the main entrance of the mines at around 4pm, less than an hour after her.

Here's how you can help me when I'm in Silburn-Griggs. I'm going to set up a real-time text system here on my website, a bit like the chat systems you use on Earth, where I'll be able to tell people what's going on and ask for help. My key is able to transcribe my voice, so I won't have to be standing around typing - I'll just be able to 'talk'. As I mentioned yesterday, the mines will seriously reduce my bandwidth, but I should occasionally be able to send you images and audio in addition to text.

There will be two main 'rooms' on the text system. One will be 'open' and you'll all be able to talk and make suggestions in it. Because of the volume of the discussion in there, I won't be able to watch the open room.

The second room will be moderated. I've chosen eight volunteers who will take the best and most relevant suggestions from the open room and copy them into the moderated room. I will be watching the moderated room and that's also where I'll be 'speaking'. You'll all be able to watch the moderated room, but not type in there.

The text system will go live at around 4pm, just before I enter the mines.

I know this may seem exciting for you - and I suppose it is - but it's serious for me. I'm very nervous about what I might encounter in the mines, and so I'll need you all to stay focused and be helpful. I'm counting on you.


Suggest that we use one thread for all PoLT threads today to prevent an unimaginably complex morass of threads developing Smile

EDIT: *sighs* ...as I see that we now have three threads for just this update already...

Suggestion in preparing for the live event.

Can someone start a thread to do with the live event, in case they can't talk in the 'chat' room?

Can anyone check the images and audio for cryptic messages with dedicated software?

 		why would there be cryptic messages?

unless Kurt = 3P!!!

which is unlikely, as he was almost blown up etc, would it be hilarious if Kurt is using us and rele he is the evil one....

 		Perhaps if Kurt's signal gets really bad, he might only be able to send small, coded bits of information? I dunno.

Entering Silburn-Griggs
Sunday, May 21 2006, 04:01 PM

I'm going to reach the main entrance of Silburn-Griggs in five minutes. I've set up the text system, you can visit it now. While I'm in the mines, I'll be doing all my talking in the text system, not here, so you should join it if you want to help.

Try not using the port number in the address if you are using a separate IRC client.

No difference. 6667 is the standard IRC port anyway.
