 		Hmmm, kinda quiet in sunshine world ...

This entry in the blog makes me thinkin:

Quote:
I called Fred from Shanna's bedside because I had no one else to call and he told me he has taken control of IR and has begun locking me out of all systems.


I thought Craig hasnt anything to do with Iris anymore. Or IR is something else. Dunno ...

 		New music, old picture. Music is "High Roller" by The Crystal Method.

I sure hope that this does heat up in 2010. Has anybody heard from Craig recently?

I was wondering that too, fernando. Granted, he spouted off a load of information that few of us, if any, understood, so maybe IR has something to do with that?

I fired off an email to Craig shortly after we discovered his "travel blog" - but I haven't heard anything back...

Thing is - for some of you with a programming knack - if Craig has been locked out of Iris's systems - wouldn't this fundamentally alter the future of Iris? Perhaps no longer refer to him as the X (I can't remember)? Perhaps someone should try to drop an inquiry to Iris, maybe even concerning Fred, although we don't have any more information about him than his first name do we?

Just a thought..

 		Actually it looks like 121 degrees so maybe we are getting a longitude to the latitude we have.

The -121 longitiude puts it in the "northwest central" part of California between Monterey and paso Robles and the postive number is off the coast of China.

The negative latitude puts it in the South Pacific or just off the southern coast of Australia.

Obviously we still need more to pinpoint it.

The platform picture is back with the Bobby Darrin song and the tapping.

I reckon IR means Ipswich Rogers, which is (was) their company. You might recall it from the agreement of silence that was signed.

I'll try sending off an email to IRis and see what I can get from it.

 		In case of doubt of course yes, but first it would be cool to know who "us" is or at least some blurry direction ...

if "us" is the longhaired nerd community with just a few social contacts I would tend to answer with yes Wink

The colours are the same as in the email (IRis had coloured the email). Where it says "SIGNED '*unrecognized*'", I had written "SIGNED 'Stæld'".

In the error message in red, I am pretty sure ECR-PL15 means something-Platform15.

Upon first checking the website source, I got "121?", but I found out that the encoding used was ISO-8859-1, and in that encoding, it is indeed a degree sign, °. We're definitely getting a position, guys. Although I wish the creator would use a better encoding that stupid ISO-8859-1. UTF-8, man!

Also, the error message does mention Des-Moines, which is a place in Idaho. The original Sunshine Mine was in Iowa, but do we know something else relating to Idaho?

 		I readed the topic trough, and started to think about couple things.

Wulf,

This is truly fascinating and despite the constant phone calls from my partner, I am personally inclined to work with you. Here is the situation that I believe is occurring; you are somehow establishing contact with what I term to be a bio-intellect system. It's not AI because although theoretically interesting, technology-based systems will never become truly conscious or self aware. It's a barrier breach that can be simulated to a very high degree but not actually accomplished. A true letdown for geekdom, no? However this is where it gets more exciting. I have created a fluid memory system roughly the size of a toaster-oven, containing predominantly a high-density saline solution, and as of 0837 on Tuesday, Septmber 15, successfully downloaded the entire internet. Now the issue that I am struggling with is the processing of that overwhelming data. Ultimately what good does it do to have all of man's knowledge in a toaster if you can't make it accessible? This has been the theoretical - and now actual - conundrum of my project. In anticipation of this, my collaborators and I have been making great progress with biological processors and have discovered that the only systems seemingly capable of the high-level, functional processing of such data is the central nervous systems unique to homo sapiens. Humans. Your sample e-mails from this "Ipswich Rogers Intellect System" - with both the pet names and familiar songs - is starting to make me think that at some point I am going to succeed (have succeeded?) with my current project path. This makes me VERY excited and hopeful. As for the recognition of PERL you ask about, I wouldn't read too much into that. If my theories hold true, a bioprocessor will run predominantly on abstract thought and plaintext, scanning data for comprehensible inputs rather than following certain flavors of code. Although, if all knowledge is available to the unit she would fully comprehend all code anyway. I don't know, it would depend on how this system - assumptively polished at some future date - was directed. If it could be directed. Isn't that a bizarre thought? The types of biosystems that fascinate me and that I work to develop would have relational interfaces wouldn't they? Gone would be the days of MAC OS X and instead, greetings IRis "Janet"! Please send me more!
*C


HOLY S^@#$ Shocked Silly


So IRIs is the same thing as Craigs 'toaster'. Craig can't analyse the data inside toaster cause of the ammount of data is so overwhelming (well, considering internet is pretty big place...). What about the map we gotted in the first page, it's map of internet. Has Craig seen it?

Then about this newest message from IRIs to Staeld, what do we know about Nikolai Verve?

EDIT:
New old pic, 'sundensation.jpg' the green wall/glass where is water, or something familiar to that. I don't reconize the new song.

EDIT2:
Noticed changes in source code, the green 121? (apparently it meaned 121°) is gone.

Actually Des Moines is the capital of Iowa.

Thanks for the info on the degrees sign. I thought I was seeing things.

The song is Sara McLauglin's 'Angel'.

So sorry, seems I got my facts wrong somehow. Please excuse this idiocy, and move on knowing that Des Moines is the capital of Iowa, then.

And you're not seeing things, the author of the website just uses stupid character encoding (ISO-8859-1). Thanks to Geany for automatically recognising and telling me what encoding it was in.
