Currently traveling so can't look into it in any detail, thought I'd mention it.
It has indeed and it has more of that code:

Has anyone contacted our friend F.P. Sun regarding the code and the original encrypted text file?

Yikes! When it rains....not to mention this block of Morse code in Wallace's old site source code:
Quote:
"--... ..--- ----. / .- -. -.. / ...-- ...-- ...-- / .- .-. . / .. -. / ... - --- -. ."
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
729 AND 333 ARE IN STONE
This info in the source' content is also new:

Seems a good time to point out the new entry on Wallace's blog contains the following:
Wallace on his blog wrote:
After the police had left she found a book of matches on the floor which she knew didn't belong to anyone that worked there because nobody smoked, she thought maybe the men had dropped it.
The book of matches in question had a name of nightclub on it. The Red Ripper , there's a name I didn't want to see any time soon. The Red Ripper is in a part of London where even the criminals feel nervous.
ETA: It seems we have another murder case
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Andrei Romanovich Chikatilo (Russian: Андрей Романович Чикатило, Ukrainian: Андрій Романович Чикатило, Andrei Romanovich Chikatilo; October 16, 1936 – February 14, 1994) was a Ukrainian-born Soviet serial killer, nicknamed the Butcher of Rostov, The Red Ripper or The Rostov Ripper who committed the murders of a minimum of 52 women and children between 1978 and 1990. He was convicted of 52 murders in October 1992 (although he did confess to a total of 56 murders and was tried for 53 of these killings) and was subsequently executed for the murders for which he was convicted in February, 1994.

Emailed Wallace about more details on the Kat case and smaller FPSun with a more generic inquiry as well. We'll see if anything comes of either of those.

reesylou , am quite impressed & hope you have time to continue. All I'd gotten was half of the easier one, "31stofMarch 1922 s" & kept messing up with "BillDesTaylor", thinking it must convert to "JackTheRipper" being the same length etc.. Props!!
Thanks, and I also hope I have time to continue.
I was involved with Chasing the Wish and a couple of other games around that time, but life got in the way... however, I keep getting drawn back here, led by references from others in different areas of interest.
Things are pretty hectic right now, but I will at least keep reading and jump in when I have time.

Wallace in an email just wrote:
Got anything on these codes from Sun yet?
Bill is coming back today, so hopefully I will have a new post this evening also Kat's brother Tom Kat (I've changed his name obviously) is going to show me the scene of the crime.
I'm not ready to venture into the depths of London just yet.
Wallace LIKES hearing from everyone about what we're solving etc. And prickly Louise does make for a hehe-larious read.
Also: Is this a d'oh moment or does anyone else already think they were trying to drop that fridge on Wallace's head?

New post on Foilshead Why? blog:
Quote:
Nutty Professor of Cambridge Causes a Stir!
One of my sources sent me this data from yesterday.
"Infamous among the students as the Nutty Professor, he shouted in the middle of University Library 'the World has ended and the darkness is coming...'"
Apparently the whole thing has been hushed up, although my source was unclear on who did the hushing.
I'm tempted to leave the house to investigate further however I haven't left since the 9th February, odd that it lines up with the 9th February Cover-up. It didn't even occur to me til now that perhaps the events are connected, normally I quite good at spotting these things. It is like a veil has covered my eyes. Why haven't I left the house in just over a month I'm sure you are currently wondering. Answer is I'm not really sure just can't put my finger on it, feel like the world outside has some how changed very subtly it is barely perceptible really.
Maybe that professor is right after all.
Have we figured out what this means on Wallace's old site? I am not good with encrypt/decrypt:

Wasn't the Nutty Professor the guy missing in the 333 case?
Have played around with the code above but haven't had any success with it and am now wondering whether we ought to take another look at the codes featured in the last case.
Will be away for a couple of hours but will test the theory when I get back.
ETA:
"Nutty Professor" was indeed the nickname given to Edward Maad the missing professor in case 333.

The only thing I can find through a google search for 729 would be an audio compression algorithm such as the one used in the audio recording in the original case.
729 & 333 are still trapped under the mountain? Cannot be changed?
These straws? Watch me grasp at them.

Gah, I still am not sure what's going on in this game at all
.. sorry.
I know it might not be tremendously important (although it is starting to seem like it might be) but can someone recap.about the last case of Wallace's? His old blog doesn't bag a ton of detail I can read on my phone right now.
Please?

Just got a brief email from Wallace after I asked him about the Kat case and details about it. No new info, just a promise to go over the questions I asked in a blog post he's gonna make in less than an hour. Still its cool.

Interesting... a new email from FPSun.... saying Fred Percival Sun is dead/gone.
Quote:
Currently no body has been found but there is enough evidence showing how he passed on.
We do not suspect the 'numbered' to be involved, especially since reading his last email to you. It would appear that Fred decided to forestall the 'numbered' attempt to access his work. Whilst C.O.P.S. have a far amount of data collected so far, Fred's work was paramount. It would appear he has spread it to the four winds.
I've only recently become involved in the Group all be it indirectly in connection with Fred. My position is very precarious indeed and I can't risk my employers discovering my involvement in this affair. Fred however did give me some encrypted data to pass on should the need arise although he was very exacting in his instructions with regard to the data.
The lost of Fred can not be expressed in words, the world has lost a fighter against the darkness.
A recent email asked the following:
" there is still time to clarify who the numbered are who you said: "history is being rewritten by the numbered" and that "They exisT"."
"They" obviously are the numbered. They are called that because C.O.P.S have counted them I should of thought that was obvious.

PS. If you wished to be removed from this email list please reply with the subject line of "remove me"
Obbiously this links with the Nutty Professor's outburst and Wallace's old site update about the sun going. Does this mean it is NOT Wallace/Louise updating the old site? Will see what else I can find out.

Okay I'm stationary for God knows how long, stuck in traffic at the moment.
Look at:http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=31300&start=360
For data about the last case, page 25 was pretty much the end. Amandel posted something useful from that Leamas guy.
I'm sure someone can do a quick summary.
Gotta to go some sod just cut in front of me. One of these days I will get round to registering properly on the site.
