 		::Sigh:: Am badly wanting to HURT Bob atm Razz An email from Wallace about Lewis:

Wallace wrote:
Amandel,

Well that will definitely explain how Lewis found me, I will see if I can
get hold of Esme on the phone to confirm his story.

He definitely comes off as being a bloody smug git, however he has sort of
kept his word when he was given the password.

Lets tread carefully, I don't think we want him to have any advantage over us.

ETA: Pedair has changed. Still one PW protected file and a .txt file titled "brenin's gwerin" (Welsh: king's folk) with msg:
Quote:
{2E:EF56 d`568 dg' ba]eg" }

and on the absolute bottom: a_ab

 		G'Morning All. Double post as there are two twists which look important or, at least, quite interesting imo.

Lewis Style wrote:
Incidentally has that rag of yours been following me, I don't like men in black stalking me.
The guy is bloody fast that's all I can say about it him.


More important: Bob's latest upload leads to http://www.mobilefish.com/services/rot13/rot13.php where at ROT 47

"{2E:EF56 d`568 dg' ba]eg" }" converts to "Latitude 51deg 58' 32.68" N" which is the Rollright Stones Location

One group of the Rollright Stones is The King's Men, a stone circle matching in name to the Welsh file name ,"brenin's gwerin".

EDIT: Am now thinking that "Pedair" (four) might refer to "The Whispering Knights" of which:
Quote:
Four standing stones survive, forming a chamber about 2 square metres in area

 		I also, interestingly, got this message sent via my feedback form on thebruce.net - nothing revealing, but interesting that he admits arriving via 4dfiction... (not sure why email he -sends- would bounce due to 'mta reputation'; afaik email should never be blocked from being sent, only flagged as spam on the recipient end; ah well)
Quote:
I tried sending you email but it was returned something about bad MTA reputations. Means absolutely nothing me. Louise is the technical one.

I saw your 4dfiction link, followed it and ended up here. Your websites
are quite over my head. I've never been much for fiction, real life is bad
enough without making more of it up.

Anyway I was going through my email and I noticed that I hadn't thanked
you for your help with the first note. Cheers.

Are you still following the case? Any thoughts?

I'm off up to Banbury and the Rollright Stones on the weekend, damm weird case and getting weirder by the day. Just give one simple case please.

Wallace.

I'm lurking, but there's so much going on for me it's hard to be actively involved. I try to be if there's something I can help with =)

 		re: Pedair file
Add'l on my above post. In another Welsh translation "brenin's gwerin" means "king's sound men" so imo it's likely the entire Pedair file is alluding to The Whispering Knights. Such deductions (brain-pain) but am still dufos on those dang PWs Laughing

 		Bob sent us a text file that says:

IDList=

You can go to the page and plug in this=
{2E:EF56 d`568 dgí ba]egî } reveals=
Latitude 51deg 58í 32.68î N

This Lat runs right through the Rollright Stones

do the same to {000214A0-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
and get = L___a`cp_\____\____\r___\__________ceN

 		Yikes, ModalRealism, you didn't read any of my above posts where I have already posted some of that. Sad

"a_ab= 2023" is quite interesting 'tho in relation to this email from Lewis. I'd mentioned the noise in the wav file doesn't sound (to be) within the stable acoustic frequency range which he has in quotes below

Lewis Style wrote:
I'm always looking for the bigger picture and there is more going than meets the eye here. Wallace is a fossil and he doesn't have the resources that I have available to me, besides I have him covered so to speak.

" .wav file doesn't sound within the stable acoustic frequency range. " - It isn't, from the sound file analysis I received recently it is encoded. I'm in a good mood today so I going to be nice to you and your rag.

Expert No. 1: "Detection finds a phase modulation within the signal which encodes four digits: 2023"

Lewis.

PS. BTW that is only part of analysis, I also got the complete transcript of what is being said.

So the penny finally drops and the Pedair PW is

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
2023

 		Oops. Sorry, too distracted with work.

Just got this from Louise:

Quote:
Do you like the new header image on the site?

L.

PS. Possible worlds are causally isolated from each other: I completely
agree especially in light of Wallace current case, however nothing is an
island. Cause and Effect still applies.


Looks like the same header to me, so it must mean something.
(Embedded in the source code: meta name="author" content="JAFO" )

The P.S. seems to be telling us that there was a Cause that created the Effect of Separate Worlds. (I have suspected that Maad was traveling in time or between worlds, possibly to effect a Rescue?)

 		The PW for the a_ab.7z file is
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
also 2023.


THere are 2 new audio files. The first says "You .. stop this .. happening"
The second says: "2030 (or 2013) .. Transmitting, request, for origin, channel, decay, a fox talks(?).

For what it's worth.

 		Apologies
Sorry. I didn't see that you said the PW for the "a_ab.7z" was 2023. Thought you said it was the PW for "pedair.7z". So have the audio files been figured out as well? I have to admit I've posted some pretty irrelevant stuff, especially early on, but in my defense I'm still a "Boot". Rolling Eyes

Just in from Louise:

There has been a recent incursion to the site which is definitely not Bob,
if you should spot anything please inform me.

 		Even more from Louise
I asked what the new background image is:
Quote:
M,

Not actually sure, looks good though. Though they do remind me of ancient
shield bosses (AD500 period). I once had a boyfriend he was into Late
Roman Battle Re-enactments. It is a fond memory.

L.


I also told her about the changes to the source code for the Main Page. Her reply is odd. I can see the code but she can't? Strange that.
Quote:
M,

Are you sure I just downloaded the index.html file from the site, it is
still showing my l33t name: £0U!53

I did a page source as well, no JAFO in evidence. Can you send me your
copy of the page source please.

L.


The new code:
meta name="keywords" content="ARG,04012011","P=P","ROT"

meta name="author" content="JAFO"

Has the morse code always been on the bottom of the front page? It appears to be an image file, 1-1.gif.

 		Good catch! If it's morse code it's a bit sloppy. The dits are all 2 pixels wide while the dahs are anywhere from 3 to 9 pixels wide. I'm hoping I won't have to count them.
