Okay I suck at codes too. I can't find anything, but I did find interesting filenames for the pictures in the source of the website:

Code:
http://www.1407oakhurst.info/images/dfgtyhg_jfwy.jpg


That's the door image. Nothing odd there except for the filename.

There rest are
1) The cell, with the number being the row-column where the cell is
2) The picture with the number's actually being on them

Note this though:

Every picture, besides cell 3-3 has a flip side to it. So you guys are right, the center cell has no number to show.

Another couple things to note:
Why are all the filenames seemingly encrypted?
Why is there a different picture for each blank cell? Don't all the blank cells look similar?

I was wondering that myself, but I couldn't find any sort of discernible patterns. Another odd thing I noticed was that a few of the rollover images were 1px by 1px bigger than the others...I wonder if that has any significance?

Also, random, but creepy...there has been a black yukon with tinted windows parked outside my house for the last couple hours...the NSA is on to me!! ;]

I've been playing around a bit more with the numbers from the portal website, and haven't really come up with anything worthwhile. I put it into a an excel spreadsheet to see if there was a pattern of some sort. The only interesting thing I discovered, is that when you add all the numbers in all of the columns individually, and then all of the rows individually - then get the sum of both - they all equal 315...? I've attached a pic of what I was working on - the red numbers are the sum totals of the rows/columns. The blue letters at the bottom correspond to the particular number above them. I was trying to see if it spelled anything out. And of course, the green 315 is the sum of of the 2 sets of numbers.

So do we know if anything occurred yesterday? I remember Bricker stating that he might still attend the meeting, but that was the last I heard. I also went back thru the package I received to see if I could see anything significant - the numbers on the portal page don't quite coincide with the book I have, as the book only has 59 pages.

I'm starting to get a bit stumped.

==edit==
BTW - I did try to ROT the letters - but nothing useful there either.

Interesting find, Wulf. There's no way that 315 is just a coincidence... though despite the 315, I still feel like something might belong in the underscored spaces.

In other news, I've been emailing Port back and forth, so he isn't dead or anything; nothing really useful here yet, so I won't post them right now 'cause they're long ass emails and I gotta run. :B But when something comes up, I'll post! /off to class ahhh

i see a transcription error in Wulf's chart above, the 3rd row 5th column is displaying "2 1_" for me (image ghjjio_gi9t.jpg), making the overall total = 316.

Yup, you're right. I must've fat-fingered it when entering it. I wonder tho, does it actually have any relevance..

=edit=
I think a couple of the other things we should make as demands, be that Port, and Bricker, and anyone else affected have their memory restored to them...

Oh wait. /facepalm
I should've seen this earlier. Of course the columns and the rows add up to the same number; it still adds up all of the numbers in the grid, just in different ways. Now if we were multiplying or something like that, it would be a different story...

STILL. Doesn't mean that 316 isn't important somehow.

I think thats a reasonable demand. Any chance you would be willing to update the excel spreadsheet with the right number? Thats a really nice resource, it makes it much easier to see. :]

EDIT: Just checked my email, I have an email from TB:
By the way, I'm just about halfway through driving back to Boston from MN, I'm checking in from a motel here in Michigan.
Any chance if something big happens, you could post it to twitter so I get updates to my phone? thanks in advance :]

The NSA is not interested in Portnoy King - only in preventing the loss of The Oracle as a resource.

The NSA is interested in Brian Bricker to determine how he either (a) knew about The Oracle, the Watchers and Rage, or (b) created the reality that now includes The Oracle, the Watchers and Rage.

Holly was recruited to undercover work by her late father, Ernie Blankenship. Infiltrating the Watchers was a natural move in this situation, don't you think?

Can you turn off the systems at the Brightman yet?

Can you prove the girl is still alive?

Okay. Bit of give and take here. Also this would prove that "Ernie" (dead though he was) wasn't working with us from the get go.

Although I have to admit, why would the all-powerful NSA want lil ole us to shut off the systems? They're also acting like we CAN shut off the systems.

Also I tweeted Rage to ask for proof of Holly being alive.

EDIT:

Whoo. Finished putting the grid together.








Now I did this for a couple reasons.

1) So we can look at the actual pictures as opposed to numbers.
2) To show what Alex said was true. A couple of these images ARE larger than others.

Nice job on the grid!! Unfortunately, a few of the images arent loading for me. Probably just my connection here.

Also, Rage responded to my question about proof holly is alive:
Quote:
ArlenRage Let me see what I can do. Will you take my word for it?


Uh-oh...I hope he didn't go and kill her off...

EDIT: Also, Brightside is run by the CIA...we still dont know how/if the CIA and NSA are connected in this. Just a thought.

EDIT 2: Hmm, he does say that the NSA is invested in protecting the oracle as an asset...

I was just looking through the file names, and patterns started jumping out at me...I dont know if this means anything yet, but here are the patterns I noticed:

Funny. Out of the 6 that don't fit into any pattern, the last 4 are the 4 pictures that are larger than the others.

As a side note, before I forget again. I had received a direct Tweet from Rage while I was absent asking where I had been. I responded, and then started moving in a different direction. I essentially told him that I knew what the outcome/conversation between he and Jenny would be (nothing that specific mind you), but then started asking how he'd feel if he knew he was a character in a story and that everything he did/thought/acted upon was already "pre-ordained". I expected a response similar to "aren't we all in someone's story?" - to which I replied, basically "and you think I can see the future?"

I was more curious as to his response to this, to see what would happen. I'll keep you posted. If you'd like to see the actual tweets, let me know and I'll post them.

=edit=
Oh, and I figured out the portal pattern...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
BINGO!

Funny that you are talking about that, since I'm currently trying to persuade Port of the exact opposite.
My emails to him have been describing the writer and how we know that the end has been written now--which has something in store for Rage as we all know, but may or may not have anything in store for Port.

My theory, in short, is that both Rage and Port have diverted away from the characters that the writer wrote. Mainly, Rage created this "game"; the writer never predicted that, and he never predicted us. In that sense, Rage "broke character" and through that diversion, we met Port. We are not supposed to exist in the writer's fictional world, yet we've been influencing the directions that both of these characters take for the past few months.
So I feel that the writer, at this point, has very very little control of the outcome. Despite how good he was at predicting the beginning, I don't think that the end that we've seen will necessarily be the end. It's entirely based on what we do, and what we tell Port and Rage to do.

... i-if this makes any sense. I could also post the long emails if someone wants, because they probably make more sense.

Also:
