 		I took the final frame and played around with some filtes and it's seems for me that there are some patterns.

One pattern seems for me like the letter Y

What do you think?

 		no, it's simply a stereogram... each frame is a stereogram with the same offset size, so it forms an animation. The dot colours (noise) are entirely random because that's house the stereo image is generated.

 		I'm in!
Been looking for a new ARG. This one hooked me right away. Did some work...on the pic 1.jpg

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

LinkI

see "What is the algorithm?" with the question mark all looking like some strange symbol...which is repeated, larger in the background. Also, there's a little tiny list, which says
Bayamos
GamiSB
CynicalMotive
shinpseudo
Rogan
Spike
---------
==Hackers?

which sounds like a list of screen names...adding them to my buddy list..

That's all I got. For now. I don't know sound, unfortunately, and the stereograms make my eyes hurt.

Glad to be back.

 		At least the site seems to be updating itself. Hopefully, it'll keep moving.

Edit : Silly rabbit ... someone didn't use Domains by Proxy and he's in Marketing. Email has already been sent to the domain owner. Looks like there's real backing here.

 		I think I may have figured out the stereogram final frame - thanks to the filtered pic above. I'm 90% sure that it depects:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It looks remarkably like the hebrew letter bet with the "ee" vowell under it. It would make a sound like "bee"


I'm currently reevaluating the other frames knowing this.

EDIT: Never mind, this turns out to be wrong. See my post below.

I really really hope it isn't Hebrew. That gives me evil flashbacks of Torment.

 		Breakdown of Each Video Frame
Frame 1 - 7
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Left side of the screen contains a "pile" of rising semicircles. In the top center, there is a large dot, and in the bottom center, there is a smaller dot. Through frame 5, the large dot begins to stretch to form a "!" formation with the smaller dot. At frame 6, the "pile" begins exiting to the right. By frame 7, the "!" is alone.


Frame 8 - 13

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The line of the "!" rotates counterclockwise. If it was originally in a "180 degrees" position, it ends in approx. a "45 degree" position.


Frame 14 - 22
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The line now moves downward. At this point, (though I don't know if it was the animation or my perception) I realized that the line is actually a HUMAN BEING.


Frame 23 - 24
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The far leg of the person bends upwards.


The animation then repeats. Until:

Frames 50 - 56
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The person is rotated.


I'm almost positive that this is what is going on.

EDIT: Also, new comments in hidden.html:

 		Sorry Ation, looks like your work might be for naught.

Edit : or not! We're getting a shoutout on the seizure page and there's an email address buried in the code.

 		hidden.html's updated.. new text at various angles and flips saying

Wyrm in the system?
Maybe it's unfiction

And

Watch me
Watch you

And in the source
I can feel you watching. I know I have your attention.
I'm sorry I can't give you more than bits and pieces, but I will soon.
I think there's more to the disturbances.
Electricity doesn't act like this. Not in this reality.

 		So, my email to the site owner asked about the site and why 10/31 was important. The site owner forwarded it to the email buried in the source code with the following attached :

I Have always known
That at last i would
Take this road, but yesterday
I did not know that it would be today

You, like I, have barely scratched the surface of the problem. The truth lies close in distance, but away in time. For now, know that your suspicion is confirmed.
