 		That's just the title of the newest Modest Mouse album. It may hold a clue, I'm inclined to think all the posts on the tksix blog are a clue, but I don't know.

 		The name of the .jpg posted earlier in the thread is octal for, "prev. was qr"

EDIT:
After looking at the barcode image, I see it's a QR code. Using the offline decoder available at:
http://www.hafenscher.net/qrcode/
It decodes to:
"dotshroud @ gm"

 		a few possible things found
when I clicked on the "K2" link at the bottom of the tksix page it brought me another page that explained that K2 is an advanced template for the blogging engine WordPress developed by Michael Heilemann, Chris J Davis, Zeo, Steve Lamand Ben Sherratt (all names from beside the youtube video, ben being the one mentioned imultiple times in the source of the barcode page.

when i clicked on ben sharratts name i got this page:

http://nybblelabs.org.uk/

this is a site created by ben sharratt to apparently promote software he has created and coincidently enough, one of those things happens to be a barcode scanner.. Im not exactly sure as to the importance of this site.. it almost looks oog...any thoughts?

 		A lot of the pages we've seen involved so far have looked very oog. I thought about clicking that same link but I was sure it was oog. Just goes to show, I don't think we should assume anything.

 		this may be another useless coincidental tidbit of info but if you clicked on the "doncha" link with all the programmers names it tells you he is an irish photographer who used a 10-20 camera.. weird nothing else seemed to relate though..weird





EDIT: the tags for the video have been changed..

 		I know this is a moot point now, but can someone explain to this noob how you translate octal? I looked at the ascii chart provided but I'm not seeing the message as translated. Please, for my edification.

 		a reply from dot shroud
i got a reply from the dotshroud address

i asked him:

Quote:
what happened on 10/20?

were you refering to the 1976 shipwreck of the norwegian tanker Frosta and the Goerge Prince ferryboat on the mississippi river where more than 70 people were killled?

and does the clue "they were dead before the ship sank" have anything to do with this?

Please point me in the right direction and i will do everything I can to help



his reply was:

Quote:
has anyone seen Ben? Re: what happened
--
use teamwork, find Ben


I guess finding ben, finds us answers.
so ben is the mission as of right now.

we know his name is ben sharratt and he is a programmer for wordpress. other than that it gets vague...



EDIT: heres a page someone sent me for decoding octal: http://nickciske.com/tools/octal.php

hope it helps beef

Code isn't hex, unless that is a preliminary step to the solve.

 		wait a second... i didnt mail him saying the name sharratt until two seconds ago... how did he know i was saying that


unlessss he is reading these boards....hmph..

EDIT: out of thread note: to all those who are playing "Ragnorok" ... in the video that was just released for shroud, check the glowing window in the middle of the dark room... look familiar? "i want to go home" ring any bells? i may be crazy but it looks really familiar... plus he just answered a question posted on the OOG boards.. same thing the pm did there too... hmmmm... like i said i could be crazy...

You're right about it being a preliminary step.
Take your hex result and try it as input in something like:
