That's not morse, that's binary. Eight bits and all. But it doesn't seem to decode to anything readable: perhaps it's meant to be put in a file and opened? Not sure what the file type would be though: I've tried the easy ones. Here's the binary as hex code, for those following at home:

PS. it actually runs as a program, prints out a bit of gobbledegook, and goes into an infinite loop... but no errors. Weird.

Every time I get the solve, I go to post and EarlyWyrm beats me to it.
Good job.
EDIT: Though I went the Morse to Binary, Reverse, Binary to Base-64, Base-64 to ASCII route.
I guess we wait till March 20th, now. I would have expected the date to be 4/20
ETA: ahintforthewise is binary for:

Actually I think March 20 is the deadline for us to solve everything...
Does anyone know what the p.wav file is? I'm at work with no sound...

I'm hoping you're right, seems like too fast of a trailhead just to get to a timer? Although I agree, 4/20 would've been more appropriate
The p.wav is a reversed piano piece, I don't have a decent spectrum analyzer so can't screenshot anything other than a waveform...
I've tried everything getting into thefinaltest.rar - anyone have any ideas? If the pswd is part of the p.wav/quaint.wav I'm at a loss.

I'm bruting the file, now, but the tool I found only allows for 3 character keys in the free version.
Could try a dictionary attack with all the words we've seen on pages, as solves and in email replies, I guess.
ETA: The structure of the quint.wav file seems a lot like the name of the timer page to me (timertimertimeroldtimer).
There's a new pic in the directory, too.
It looks broken (Like the string /chasm may have been added to the end).

edit: at the end it has:

The wav file in the chasm folder has a name that is octal for:

Also, this, on the main page:
If the earth were ever to split in twos,
A perfect shade eases each side's disease
The chasm'd be the most perfect of blues
Lest the oceans come to reveal the breeze.

Sorry about that. Sometimes I get a little carried away with the edits.

Oh, no problem, of course.
By the way, has anybody recovered the actual tunguska.jpg? It might still have a clue.
Edit: I just spent some time trying to recover tunguska.jpg and it's apparently hashed pretty good. Looks like random bytes from it were corrupted? So I'm guessing he didn't want us going off on a wild goose chase with it.

I don't recognise the p.wav song and am not too good with www.songtapper.com (Kinda sounds like the person playing the piano might have been a little rusty as well)
If someone else would like to try that and look for a song that begins with "p"...

Gah! Haven't these people ever heard of the "line-in" jack on the sound card?
ETA: There do seem to be a lot of gamer references in this game.
"tungusta" etc.

Actually, "tunguska" is a Russian river where an explosion took place in 1908. It was supposedly caused by a meteor. So it fits with the whole Nemesis theme.
