Audacity also does spectograms. Since you can open multiple files on it you can (theoretically?) view multiple spectograms so you can put the image together. But there's no need to start from scratch, you should be able to just take the spectogram images already made and then just get the new ones as each new video is published. To get it from Youtube all you need is the youtube-to-MP3 converter I linked to on the first page.

Boston Beats - I'm not sure, It could just be a joke. But people just keep telling me that.

Melchizedek - This spectrogram updates daily. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15495351/output.png Looks like a stillframe from a vhs, to me.

In case anyone was wondering (and missed it in the doc) we've got an IRC channel set up for this.

If you don't have an IRC client, use this link http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=%23%2377Days

EDIT: Also, there is a good website with info to catch up: http://77days.net

*YAWN!*

It's been a long, long slumber on the unforum.

This is getting interesting.

Gosh. I haven't been here in a while. Like, since eon8 was a thing. Anyway.

I did a very little write-up on how TIMM and PronunciationBook relate (or, rather, don't) mostly using stuff I gleaned from this wiki and the TIMM board here. I wasn't actually around for TIMM, so I'm mostly just piecing stuff together based on what y'all had to say, and I'm hoping someone who actually knows about TIMM might want to weigh in.

Still, I think it's pretty interesting that TIMM characters continued to interact with players up into 2011, when PB was already rolling.

If it's not related to TIMM, I am going to tread very lightly in this game. I'm all for giving people second chances, but it looks like they dropped TIMM right in the middle of the game and people had invested much time and energy. You know that old saying....fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

I know this is already detailed on the wiki, but I know some people only really check here, and this is really creepy. Unsure how it was found, but this .onion site was uncovered: https://ho2qvbmhpeeqnd4t.tor2web.org/
It's counting down to the same date as the Pronunciation Book videos, and the image and mp3 that play in the background are named "77". There are more connections, but those are the most glaring. Even if it is only a coincidence or a hoax, it's still more than a little unnerving.
If you're interested, more details can be found here: http://77days.wikia.com/wiki/Paracelsus
No point in me retyping a whole wiki page.

How about a little guessing game/pool ?

When the 77-day spectrograph is complete, will the person (or animated character) be recognizable ?

And if so, who will it be:

Dick Tracy ?
Daddy Warbucks ?
Richie Rich ?
Barack Obama ?
James T. Kirk ?
Thurston Howell III ?

It did indeed. This doesn't really feel like marketing for a sequel, especially considering the length of the set-up, but anything is possible I suppose.

Personally, I'm still banking on something connected to TIMM. But that could just be wishful thinking.

The noises at the end of 36 sound like the pips you hear on an old fashioned rotary phone. Anyone know of a way to interpret them to get a number out?

nm : just reading up on this its just part of the spectrograph. Never mind Very Happy

Also if we are guessing who the image is : Rick Astley. This is a 77 day Rickroll. Calling it.

You mean that this is a several year long rick roll, considering how long pronunciation book has been running.

I wanted to mention this, just for shits and giggles, but Dream Theater's new self-titled album comes out on Sept 24. 33 days from now. I doubt it's anything significant, but it got me thinking: release dates? There's that onion website with that odd song being played. Maybe there's a book that's going to be released that is at odds with PB's political, moral or spiritual interests, and that song is more relevant that we might think. Maybe there's more than one thing happening on Sept 24. Like, multiple things being released at the same time. Y'know, a diversionary tactic. Remember those gunpowder laws being passed while everyone was focused on gay marriage? I don't know if PB is American or not, but he sounds American and his pronunciations are all pretty American. I'm totally spitballing here and I have no evidence to back this up, but the discussion on PB seems pretty dead here and I wanted to stir the pot a bit.

Also, video 32 is out.

Quote:

Sport. The triplets are looking good this year. Nothing can stop them once they get going. Cheer for them, please.
Lunch. Steinmeat(?) again. But a deal is a deal. Leave the scraps, they'll clean it up.
Supreme. Looking balanced and tan. Smooth sailing ahead. Wear your shades all day.
Challenge 2. The castle is a long way away, so keep your signals crisp. Find high ground.
Friends. Unexpected. They've got something to say. You can see it in their faces.
Corsair. Skip the island. Your leggings are looking great. Nice barrel.
Charm 4. That's three drinks too many. Doesn't matter if you spill a drop. Look at that smile.
Complaining. Pool the elements from the sky. A dry meal guarantees a conflict.
Chance 1. Not what I wanted to see today.
Moldy. If this is what living in the castle is like, I've got to run.
Chance 2. Even worse. Meet me in the lodge.
Change 1. A message I've been waiting to hear.
Challenge 1. This can only keep me alive so long.
Change 3. You'll make management soon. Keep the gloves on, please.
Change 7. Just promise me you won't wave goodbye. Chef, flip 'em high and keep it hot. All the Doric columns in the world won't spoil this.
Chieftain. Elegant evening-wear, and a sword. He must be important.
Challenge 3. The promise of farming. You'll eat well tonight.
Dinner. She's sitting alone. At least it looks that way.
Construction. Hot day for a suit. But we have to finish before sundown.
Twins. It must have already descended.
Cowboy. She doesn't respect royalty(royal tea?), but she's elegant.
Ocean. An old friend, moving up. Congratulations.
Flog. It's not the real one, but that doesn't mean it's not dangerous.
Dreaming. Don't know what to make of this. It must not be important.
High-brow. Not my favorite. Too much talking and no action. Great music, though.
Thee(?). I'm proud of everything I see.
Calling. Something is going to happen in 32 days.


Call me crazy, but this sounds like some "The Most Dangerous Game" shit.
These are the numbers in order: 214211373 (plus the 32 days)
What are 9 digit or eleven digit numbers used for? I dunno.

[Ordered by number]
Chance 1. Not what I wanted to see today.
Change 1. A message I've been waiting to hear.
Challenge 1. This can only keep me alive so long.
Chance 2. Even worse. Meet me in the lodge.

Change 7. Just promise me you won't wave goodbye. Chef, flip 'em high and keep it hot. All the Doric columns in the world won't spoil this.

Also what's with the Triplets and the Twins? Did one die? Lots of c words in this one.
