Numbers from Dimension.pdf typed out:

There are 26 columns, definitely worth noting.
According to my excel sheet there are 81 different numbers, but this is not my forte so I could be wrong.

Thought the "takhallus" in the URL was intriguing, so I did some searching...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takhallus#Pen_names_.28Takhallus.29
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/0614/index.htm
Not sure if it is IG though...

The word takhallus is derived from Arabic, meaning "ending".
So is this where the game ends? I bet someone needs to go to the cafe to get this one, maybe it's a floor plan of their building.

I read the Wiki link from Van and it also means Pen Name - maybe it was chosen because it's a pseudonym for Richard or something? I dunno - I just hope it's not done yet, I like puzzles.

It's definitely not done... we have a whole bunch of other clues to sink our teeth into. Let's focus on that. Anything new from the IRC?

I may be wrong, but it doesn't look like a floor plan to me. The shapes are too inconsistent. Upon fist gander I immediately thought of Tetris. To expand on that, maybe it is a jigsaw puzzle? Anyone want to give it a try? I would, but I don't have a printer. [/img]

I tried overlaying the punchcard onto the abstract stuff... got this:

doesn't look like anything to me, but might help someone.

Since Richard's site is called True Cryptography I've been running the abstract.gif through the Hide In Picture (2.1) program with various p/w-s. No joy so far...Anyway,HIP d/l HERE
Can't exactly say why,TheIllustratedMan, but I truly like your idea of overlaying both .pdf files....

I went with TheIllustrated idea and did an overlap too of both pdf. But I tought that maybe the two other pics on the site could mean we only punch out where there's blue and red. So here are my result. Still don't know what to do with it. I've sent a copy of the punch card to Richard through fb messaging. Doubt he will respond but doesnt hurt to try.

I've played around a little with this idea.
I cut/pasted each piece in Gimp and put them all in separate layers. Problem: pieces aren't lining up no matter how I move them. Here is the Gimp File if anyone wants to download it.

Sorry for the double post but the shapes on this site look like the shapes on makyla77's punch-card.

I don't know if this has been mentioned before (or that it helps), but the numbers - 6633426464 - on the front page of experiencethenode.com translates to "node gaming" when you enter it into a text message auto completey thing...
Plus: on #node I get on getting the message "You need voice (+v) (#node)" when I speak... I don't know what this means!

Yeah, you're right... nice find.
I tried this with the numbers from the punchcard - 626331321 and couldn't come up with anything complete. I did get "named" from the first five numbers but the following 1 screws it up.

I think they're pushing us again - Richard Rhoale just updated his facebook profile to say Herman Hollerith is his hero. That's a name that's big in the world of punchcards.
