update: http://pherotones.com/doctor.php with a video of a college lecture

-- chatted with the doc - shes said Elkstrom was working on the business side of things and so the message might be related, and that in her opinion "sig = 1"

[12:38] drpherotone: Really?!?
[12:38] drpherotone: Excellent!
[12:38] drpherotone: I havn't heard from Elkstrom today, he hasn't been into the lab..soo...
[12:40] JIBlock: It's a longitude and latitude location. We are trying to pinpoint it's location.
[12:40] drpherotone: Hummm...I see. Well they were all numbers, weren't they!
[12:41] drpherotone: You all are so very smart.
[12:41] JIBlock: Does American University ring a bell?
[12:41] drpherotone: Oh, no...it doesn't sorry. Where is that?
[12:41] JIBlock: Washington DC
[12:41] JIBlock: are you having a lecture there?
[12:42] drpherotone: no, i'm not.
[12:43] JIBlock: Ok.
[12:44] JIBlock: do you think he is trying to send you somewhere?
[12:44] drpherotone: Hummm...
[12:44] drpherotone: Maybe he is trying to tell me of a place???
[12:45] JIBlock: Yes, but where....did you have any one place that was really special to you all?
[12:45] drpherotone: Hummm...well, of course the lab, but the only other place is in denmark.
[12:45] JIBlock: Denmark...where?
[12:46] drpherotone: Well, that really isn't important. It was just a night of passion.
[12:46] JIBlock: Ah.
[12:47] JIBlock: Do think they are GPS or Long/Lat coordinates?
[12:47] drpherotone: Ah, they've just posted my lecture at the site!
[12:47] drpherotone: Oh, I look terrible on film.

ah, just had a good conversation with the good doctor on AIM.
Here's some of the more important parts, for simplicities sake.

Quote:

DuckieDarko (12:38:54 PM): hope that note from Ekstrom hasn't been giving you as much of a headache as it has for me
drpherotone (12:39:29 PM): Well, to be honest...I just chalked it up to Elkstrom's devilsh nature
drpherotone (12:39:39 PM): I havn't heard from him today..
drpherotone (12:39:48 PM): he hasn't been by or called or anything!

DuckieDarko (12:40:06 PM): ohh, is that like him at all?
drpherotone (12:40:35 PM): uh, well..he has been handling the business ends of things.
drpherotone (12:40:45 PM): Perhaps he is busy making a deal for me!

DuckieDarko (12:41:11 PM): hm, that would be good, wouldn't it!
DuckieDarko (12:41:22 PM): and especially considering the holiday
drpherotone (12:41:33 PM): Yes! And then everyone could enjoy Pherotones on their own phones!
DuckieDarko (12:41:56 PM): Yay!

A mysterious note before being mysteriously not around? Yikes.
Then we talked about how she wasn't speaking at American University, and then:
Quote:
drpherotone (12:45:14 PM): Also, it was in a heart...
drpherotone (12:45:46 PM): so, perhaps it has something to do with him giving me something?

DuckieDarko (12:45:57 PM): hmm that does indeed make sense
DuckieDarko (12:46:08 PM): well, either way, its the strangest valentine I've ever seen
drpherotone (12:46:47 PM): Yes, indeed.
drpherotone (12:46:54 PM): Oh, very good...
drpherotone (12:47:06 PM): They've just posted my lecture at the site


Yay lecture!!
[edited] to be easier to read

ALSO

I congratulated her on her lecture, and I had an away message up saying I was sick.
She asked if it was my throat, and said something was going around the lab. Here's to the good doctors health!

From the good doctor's latest blog entry she lectured at a major university last week. Googling the area code on an ad underneath the Pherotones fact sheet pictured, it appears she was in Greensboro, NC. Anyone from around there hear anything about this?


That was a 336 number; however, one of the poster specificly mentions "Carolina." College towns have kids with cell phones from all over. Around here "Carolina" is the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. (And IIRC part of Orange Co which Chapel Hill is in uses 336.) All the other UNC system schools use UNC-whatever. UNC Greensboro is UNC-G. The only Carolina is the flagship, UNC Chapel Hill.

From what I can figure
1) the numbers are indeed coordinates
2) the coordinates are almost certainly somewhere within Research Triangle Park
3) She has been in contact with Elkstrom, who has a surprise for her, but he probably won't reveal it until we solve his note.

I just can't make the numbers work for any coordinate system within RTP...

From the Chris Rock bit,

"Why is it that no matter where you are in the world, if you're on MLK, there's some shit goin' down..."

I actually thought of that same bit when I saw that. Razz

It seems the Doctor has had her college tour cut very short, according to the newest post on her blog. Had a quick chat with her before class,

She said that she has potentially good news still to come, and is unsure whether it is the Universities or the colleges that have censored her.

And now, off to class. Oh, life.

good doctor

I also talked to the doctor earlier today and she told me that the closed minded had shut her down and she is also looking for distributors for pherotones. She mentioned they were coming up with ideas to get the word out but she wouldn't give me anything more on it other than we will think of something.
