 		PM?
Did anyone decode the audio clue to get the PM's name for this? I tried but wasn't able to.

 		Sped it up to normal speed. Sounds like someone's pronouncing individual letters:

 		I tried that, but it almost sounded like phonics to me, and I wondered if he was sounding out a word (his nickname?) and then cut and rearranged the clips. I tried chopping out the extra lead time in and out of the sounds to see if I could merge it into a word but got caught up in too many possibilities.

 		Yeah, I tried shuffling them around, but didn't come up with anything coherent.

Not that I'm coherent right now....

 		It's not rearranged, or edited in any way. The WAV is me actually speaking the syllables. They key to decoding them was given a "few" times. ^_^

 		I'm pronouncing phonemes -- the language spoken is immaterial. I think I'll leave it at that.

Puppetsmaster references the dropped clues to this puzzle. I take it most people haven't read the journal in its entirety (due to the fact that nearly all of it is locked and only viewable by people on puppetmaster's friends list) as it gives away things that haven't been mentioned. I wish I could figure out how to turn all locked entries public. If anyone is more wise in the ways of LJ than I, please speak up.

it's a lot of manual labor, but you should be able to go to www.livejournal.com and choose "manage" and then choose the locked entries and change their designation to public.

Listed that way on the PM LJ and Ewan's LJ

I, also, noticed SpaceBass's discreet little nod to your RL identity in the description of the game. You have left quite a trail of your life behind you on the Interweb.

Comment on PM LJ
Nod to RL identity > Guy?

Quote:
No one has volunteered to take Ewan out to dinner yet. Justin is very excited by the chance to play the role, so I'd hate to tell him that no one is game.

Justin_Case?

Dunno.....just some musings....

 		Heh. What I want to know is if SpaceBass actually solved it or just traced back the IP/referrer.

 		Is there any way to become a "friend" on LJ without having a LJ of your own?

Well, it's difficult. And it involves lots of $20 bills. Nonsequential.
And a Nigerian intermediary.

Keep watching your email. One of my associates will contact you. Cool

I am not sure what you are asking. If you want to read the journals of people on LJ, you have two options:
* Create a dummy account for yourself (it's free and you don't have to use it for anything but reading), then add existing LJ users as friends.
* Go to a person's page on LJ and add it to your RSS reader. Most readers will pick up the hidden tag that points to that person's RSS, Atom, or FOAF data feeds.

The former method will let you see the person's "friends-only" entries if they mark your account as being a friend. The latter will let you see only public journal entries.

On the other hand, if you have your own blog that publishes RSS, a LiveJournal user can go to the bottom of http://www.livejournal.com/syn/ and plug in the URL. This will create a dummy account that gets populated by your RSS data every 30 minutes. Existing LJ users can add this to their friends list (it's called a syndication account). This is nice because the journals of all your friends--both LJ members and non-members--gets aggregated on one page.
