I'm not given to emoticons, but if I were, after glancing at the above site, I'd choose a little face with something flying right over it's head and the little word whoosh going over it.

Sorry, you're right. I thought it was 6.

More or less a 409 means that for some reason, the webserver decided that your action would violate some configuration/programing rule. This is different from a 403 (forbidden) in that a 409 is expected to be easily correctable by the user, while a 403 is terminal.

 		LOVE the second message behind the spacer gi!

but onto arcade history and dumb trivia on cubes.

a hypercube is known as a tesseract. There is a great sci fi story by either Robert Silverberg or Damon Knight called "And he built a crooked house", about an architect who builds up a house as a tesseract. Lots of fun.

In the gaming side of it, there was this old laserdisc game called "Cube Quest" by Simutrek, founded by Noah Anglin who USED to be with Atari. Still have the button they gave out at the show: "Simutrek - who ARE these guys?"

AC? After Cube?


Ok, so how many people have seen the movie Cube? Smile Smile Smile Smile Smile Smile

Strictly speaking, only a 4D hypercube (or, rather, its representation in 3D) is known as a tesseract. Higher-dimension cubes are not tesseracts, I think.

The story you mention is really cool (I've heard of it, but haven't read it). It refelect the line of thinking in the early to mid- 20th century that there exist some sort of parallel universes in higher dimensions. In that sense, I think a hypercube was like a philosopher's stone of that time.

It's hardly your fault that I'm a techno-idiot.

So am I the only one who sees a 409 error? It sounds like I shouldn't be concerned about it.

Maybe S. Marchant is a person?

Has everybody also noticed that the 'A' is missing from the first line?

good find Marrec!!!

question is, do the filenames mean anything?


I thought about that. Remember the Marchant page? It had a string of ten numbers in the URL that turned out to be e*10^9 I believe. Well the filenames in the errorlog have strings of ten numbers as well. Being as I'm not good with math... at all, I'll leave it to someone else to get whatever they can out of those numbers. Although I do plan on trying different simple conversions.

Also, has anyone looked at the source for http://www.perplexcity.com/assets/sitewide/spacer.gif yet? Now I'm no HTML jockey, but in all my years surfing the web I've not seen HTML code like that. Might be something there.

That's it for now, haven't had much of a chance to dive in deep yet cause of Mid-Semesters. I'm just glad there was more to the pre-game than what we'd already seen. *wee*

PS: Is there some kind of IRC chat about this ARG? Cause I'd love to throw some ideas around on a more real-time basis.

spacer.gif is an image so looking at the source of that is exceedingly unlikely to give you HTML Wink
