Looks like there's a flash up there now. So far haven't seen anything useful in it. Seems to be a guy juggling, and the words circa dean at first.

EDIT: Oops, got beaten to it.

circadian:
Wikipedia says:

Quote:
Circadian rhythm is the name given to the roughly 24 hour cycles shown by physiological processes in plants and animals. (The term circadian comes from the Latin circa, meaning "around" and dies, "day", meaning literally, "around a day.") It was initially discovered in the movement of plant leaves in the 1700s by the French scientist Jean-Jacques d'Ortous de Mairan. For a description of circadian rhythms in plants by de Mairan, Linnaeus, and Darwin see http://www.hhmi.org/biointeractive/museum/exhibit00/02_1.html The formal study of biological temporal rhythms (such as daily, weekly, seasonal, etc.) is called chronobiology.

The circadian rhythm is neither fully dependent on nor fully independent of external cues such as sunlight and temperature. Early researchers identified that some sort of "internal" rhythm must exist, because plants and animals did not react immediately to artificially-induced changes in daily rhythms. However it has been well established that a mechanism for adjustment also exists, as plants and animals will eventually adjust their internal clock to a new pattern (if it is sufficiently regular).




So what does it mean ... Do we need to watch it over and over again to see a pattern and learn from it????

anyone any idea?

I liked the Peel photo better than this juggling thing...

A few random observations:

circadian = circa Dean

Could this be a link to Rowan who was/will be presented an award by the Dean of the Triskabiblios Academy of Time & Space

Re. the jugglers - 2 of them, both female?, some nifty camerawork going upside down, etc. The whole thing reminds me of three things:

* an alternative 1980s music video
* something out of Record-Breakers (mass juggling record attempt?)
* an Open University program (that wire-frame model at the start is a giveaway)

When you fiddle with the Flash settings, the whole thing replays with the words 'circa Dean' superimposed at all times.

On the topic of the Flash settings, you can allow vib13 to access your camera and microphone and store up to 100KB on your computer. Has anyone tried this, and is it a standard Flash option?

Hopefully someone can take my musings forwards from here...

Decompiling - I dunno. Rogi?

I'll be of no help there.
I can't find it, right now, but there was mention of a freeware tool for doing this very early on in the Big thread.

Withe posted some captures from one using PhotoImpression, but I don't think that editor decompiles flash files.

Nope, it's just my quickie "flip 'em over, crop 'em down, lighten 'em up move 'em out (Rawhide! *whip sound* Sorry, had to do it. Laughing )editor when I don't feel like usin Photoshop. The controls for that task are faster in PImp than in Pshop. I can break up any .gif frame by frame, but unfortunately, I don't have the equip/software/the know-how to decomplile the flash. But don't discount me for lack of trying, I've tried. Very Happy

Or maybe the circadian rhythm for this game is based on the moon phases. Every full moon and on some new moons, things happen.

It looks to me as if it is a man juggling but his age is regressing back to childhood.

Hmmm... there's a juggling convention in London on the 22nd and 23rd. Though, right now I'm just throwing ideas around.
