so that gives us:
that doesn't ROT to anything, and atbash is also gibberish...
Heh, yes it does. Just the other day, I was given "yzgu.fvahg" from another puzzle on this very forum. Seeing "yzgu" here reminded me how that worked. Put them into ROT-13 and look harder (I'll include the other puzzle for comparison; search if you need to):
Code:
yzgu.fvahg / yzgu gbq euqul
lmth.sinut / lmth tod rhdhy

Unfortunately, per cather's tip

doesn't work.
But:

We're not supposed to ROT euqul, and going to luque.html works fine.
Edit: Beaten!

Just took a look at http://xdigi.net/SynCor/luque

There's invisible text on the page right after, "If you've gotten to this blog...", that reads:
confirm this information through email johnathan.luque AT gmail dot com, I will reply with more information.

Hey everyone!
This looked very interesting so I decided to jump on board. (first ARG that I have gotten in to)
Sent off an e-mail earlier saying I was willing to help, and got a reply saying just to watch his blog and wait for an update for our next assignment.
Pretty cool.
Update: Just got an IM from PM, I do not have the whole conversation, as it was short and unimportant, but this is the last thing he said that might serve some importance.
Quote:
sync0rswim: they're here
Inferno5447: who?
Previous message was not received by sync0rswim because of error: User sync0rswim is not available.
Yet another Update: Check out the blog, it has been updated. It seems we're now looking for another syncor employee's blog, a Jeremy Willard.

View source shows something extra in the CSS that starts with uggc:// - ROT'd URL if I've ever seen one. C'mon, everyone, and let's go on down to MySpace !

Yes, it is. What it means is left as an exercise for the reader.
Oh, and he is online on his MySpace right now. I'm not going to get a MySpace account, so if someone else wants to chat with him, be my guest.

So this is what I found out.
Jeremy does not accept IM.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://xdigi.net/SynCor/particles takes you to Jeremy's Weblog similiar to Jonathan. I don't see anything in the way of a clue there yet.
