Professor's Broadcast from the 4/14/04 email

OK, what does this mean?

From some of the virutal postcards and stuff that the Professor has sent to various people, he's been suggesting that he's going to cross the country to visit them. One thing that is seems pretty certain is that the Professor is no longer in Oregon. Marcus (according to his last chat) believes he is somewhere in California. Who knows where he actually is or where he's really heading.

As for the mention of the updated website, your guess is as good as mine. I thought it was the 1981.htm page, but unless there is a message hidden in the dogeared.jpg, I couldn't find anything different or hidden there.

For his sign-off, if there is one thing the Professor likes doing, it's changing names. I don't know if it's a clue or just an annoying quirk. I really should go back through everything and figure out what names he's used in what order to see if that gives us anything.

Hmm... well, the main page of bluelouboyle.com doesn't seem to have been updated -- it still has 'listen to the music of the night'. The midi on the front page is for the song "Music of the Night". Has anyone listened to it all the way through? Any hidden messages?

There must be a clue to the next 'secret location' on the Drexel website hidden in the music... certainly when reading this:

Quote:

CliffordWorly: What you do not realize is that Music is everything to me..
CliffordWorly: It's the way I communicate trully.. How we all do.
CliffordWorly: Look at the score again Carlotta..


"Look at the score again" might imply there's something in the notation that could point us anywhere? I listened to it a few times, but there's nothing that jumps out at me... unfortunately, I'm completely unfamiliar with music notation... did anyone more musically educated look at the midi's details?

Not rightly sure where to post this....I just had a brief chat with the Prof, and he gave me one hint as to where his "location" was. He simply said "You remember what I did with 1981?" then he signed off. I posted the full conversation in the Interaction forum here http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4038

could he mean http://www.bluelouboyle.com/1981.htm ?


And:

at least we know when the chat will be 4:00am EST (see the countdown timer on bluelouboyle.com that is posted by Bill as found by gypsychk)
http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4037

where was the last chat going to be held? EDIT : Yahoo-- Computers & Internet--User Rooms--DOWN W/ TOBI McGuire

(I found this in Aware General Updates:drexel's log updates 4/4/04 posted by Caterpillar)

2nd EDIT: I can't find this room...did anyone find this before on the 4th?
also, perhaps we are back in aquachat?? I loved those guys in aquachat, I want to get a new aquarium anyway.

any chance this will be in the same place?
any bets?

Since I still can't figure out where the professor wants this meeting held, I'm gonna be staking out the following sites at 4am eastern

Yahoo Chat - Computers & Internet
Yahoo Chat - Music
Aquachat

If and when I see anything promising, I will post back with the details.

I'm also on AIM, ICQ, MSN and Yahoo IM if anyone wants to get ahold of me in the meantime.

Ok, working on the assumption that we are looking for a solution along the order of: http://www.bluelouboyle.com/ ????.htm where ???? is the common element between the stuff on the main page.

Note: if it's not capitialzed in the file, then i didnt try it that way. And I've only been trying the .htm extension.

Anagrams for Mask page

I've been playing around with anagrams of
Quote:
Come to me Angel of Music!
Listen to the Music of the Night!

With nothing solid to show for it, but within those letters are...
COMMUNICATIONS MEETING. GO TO THE....CLIFF
leaving the letters LUTESHOMESITE

or if we replace the GO TO with USE..the left over letters are GOTLOTHOMESITE.

My thinking is that CLIFF = Clifford.

Just putting it up here, in case someone else sees something.

And what about the i.jpg? How does that fit in?

Another anagram....
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Communications meeting: go to cuttlefish's home. He left.

While that *might* mean aquachat, I somehow think it's just a funny coincidence.Laughing

If driz's post is correct, I found something called Cuttlefish Radio. It's off the air right now. Which coincides with "he left". Question

EDIT- There is also an IRC channel.

During live events we normally host discussions in the #cuttlefish IRC channel.

Hey Myss, I think what you found is great, but that's a big *IF*. Smile I'll be amazed if that anagram is more than a fluke.
With the hints that WR gave earlier...

I'm thinking it *has* to be something to do with the music...what exactly.....I flounder, without a clue.

I don't think anyone has actually figured anything out ... RAMiles noticed that the prof added a link off the mask jpg which led to the broadcast. It's still a mystery to me how we were supposed to get from here to there.
