Where is it listed on the timeline page?

Whilst looking on there (in IE as it seems to have stopped working on Chrome again) I noticed that loads of the entries seem to be repeated. Is this just a local glitch.

I don't know about anyone else, but despite the fact that I *love* the way the Weyland site is designed, browsing the damn thing is bringing my MacBook to its frigging knees with any/every browser, making even something as simple as scrolling down a page a hassle. To get around this, I grabbed a full screen capture of the Timeline page, and while I was at it, did some level enhancements to increase contrast for easier viewing.

That capture was over 38 megabytes, and I got the file down to under 800kb's , wheee!

I did the same to the download files from the investor page. I didn't bother doing it for the investor's page due to the fact that the data is subject to revisions as we've seen.

In case these come in handy for anyone, I tossed em in my rapidly growing Weyland Arg album on Photobucket:

Financial Highlights:



Invest your Future:



Weyland Timeline:



I'll be consolidating image files as I come across and/or make them. If anyone has any files they would like me to add, just fire me a PM and I'll sort it.

Cool

Just my 2 cents

Great work by everyone yesterday in getting those images unlocked.

I just wanted to say ( to give credence to the 3/5ths theory out there) that before the Eridu (Air) image was unlocked, the Prometheus Facebook page had the Galaxy image (Aether) as their banner w/ the Project Prometheus logo:



Now it didn't have the PP-Password combo, but it could give more credence to the fact that there are still 2 more photos to be unlocked.

I am also waiting for something to tie into the "Building Better Worlds" tagline, as it is always capitalized in Weyland documents, even if it is in a random paragraph.

No, the actual link doesn't work for me either, it's just really curious why they've broken a previously working link on the Weyland site. Somebody had to change it intentionally, right?


it's also the title of the last photo

I'm getting it on the Project Prometheus Underway entry, the first one, when you click on Project Prometheus in the text, the same place we first discovered the http://www.projectprometheus.com/245409/ link.

Thanks for confirming as well Smile

I think that's got to go down as a great spot then. It's not an admin fix so surely must mean something?

This may entirely be a dead end, but I noticed the copy on Module 1.4 is entirely different between the download JPG and the current site.

Current site:
With our continuing innovation in android technology, manufacturing and supply chain, the David model is becoming increasingly available to a wider range of demographics, accelerating growth and productivity across all business sectors.

Download:
Gross sales across all verticals have continued to increase with a particular rise in off-planet consumption of Weyland products. Cybernetics has recently become the top grossing vertical surpassing terraforming this past year.

Again, probably nothing.

That has been changed some time in the last couple hours. When I did my screengrab and made my overlay comparison, the text matched up.

They both match for me. I tried in an incognito window and in IE.

That and the timeline is screwing me up...
THe email is clearing calling out 2023, but the investor page says SINCE 2023....Not sure what is going on with that and the differences in the files.

It'd have to, unless they're doing some reorganising to make shortcut links to the pics (e.g. pp-tas for eridu) but that's kinda weird.

For now going to assume it means put pp- in front of our directory guesses, so going to retry mine.

And was purely a luck spot, was just re-creating our steps so far to try and get a better handle on everything Smile

If this is another admin repair it's getting ridiculous. How are we supposed to cope with all of these red herrings when can't tell which are real and which are errors? It would help if there was a theme to the clues we're looking for.

Curious. Mine are fresh pulls from this morning, using Firefox, and HTTPS anywhere.

Frame by frame of the bg spheres.

Hello all! I just joined so I could comment on the movie file -- I'm able to watch the entire thing and have been playing with filters. There looks to be a waveform in the background.


To follow-up for possible reproduction:

Best way to view what I'm talking about is to Deinterlace using Phosphor mode. Put the movie on repeat and watch the left of the screen, you'll see large amplitude flashes of a brighter nature; these amplitudes immediately shrink. Another way, within VLC, is to use the "Video Effects", "Colors" tab, and "Negate Colors" (only this option). You will see the difference.

Edit: Also try with "Posterize".


Heres a frame export and then reassembly of the last few seconds of the bg spheres if anyone wants to check it out. 32 frames at one second per frame.
If it looks promising then I can do the earlier glitch as well but looking at it using the above gives something but not sure what.
