Update?

I think so.

There were 2 comments approved for Mike's last blog entry, one from me, and one from a very spamish looking spycam ad. Then i realized that when i'd submitted my comment it said it had to be approved by mike before posting, so the spycam ad either was a mistake... or something else.

So i clicked on it and low and behold:

http://parvuluspatroni.blogspot.com/2008/07/blog-post.html

a new blog for us to follow!

Title: Parvulus Patroni (Latin, gotta shake the cobwebs outta those brain cells)

Parvulus: most common meaning is child, also given the prophecy, this seems a likely meaning

Patroni: protector, advocate... i think protector sounds good ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patronus )

if anyone remembers latin better than me plz speak up and forgive any errors i may be making, i havn't translated anything since highschool. but given the endings of the two words, parvulus/child is in the nominative (subject) position and patroni/protector is in the Genitive (possessive) which would give "child of the protector"... but as i said i'm nowhere near sure...

or now that i think of it, you could also take patroni as just being nominative plural (also a subject) which would give "child protectors"
which, now that i think about it, that sounds better and makes more sense overall, what do you all think?

PS: not sure who or what is in the pic, tried destegging but no luck so far...

PPS: not sure if this was previously discussed, but, has anyone been to the treehouse site lately? There's been some strange convo going on for a while, unless that was some of us, but i'm not sure...

Sry for the double post but i didint want to keep adding on the old one, and i thought this might organize it a bit.

the original comment on mikey's blog was:

Sorry, but how did you use CHEESE with the image to get that text?

Also, this seems like it might be a good time to use that cypher wheel, although I have no idea how.

I used a program called "camouflage", which can be downloaded for free, and used to hide or take out secret messages from picture files by using passwords, all i had to do was select "uncamouflage", and type in "cheese".

Good point, this seems perfect for the cypher wheel!

OMG!

Cipher wheel = BINGO

Ok, this is just too awesome to ignore. I'm on board.

Ok, so i sent a message to Mikey when I first found the Parvulus Patroni site, talking about the encrypted message (b4 Dionysus had decrypted it), and I guess Dionysus had sent him a message too after the message was decrypted, but this is what I got back:

Sounds like it. Maybe you should ask him if he's comfortable letting you or Dionysus translate his messages for him? It does sound like he's asking for encryption help.
