elaine: 22nd Apr 2005 - 20:14 GMT

elaine: 22nd Apr 2005 - 20:15 GMT

there was an artist in Portland that framed lost notes and grocery lists
i didnt quite buy it
but it was really intereesting
scribbles and inside information that is so vague it lets us make up our own stories.... brings out things
true and not intending to be anything
i think the honesty appeals easily, but framing and selling it was strange

mmm don't get me on the selling of art, we'll be here forever

This is ceratinly one of the mostobscure threads i've ever read, but i'm digging it. All very interesting, and on a completely new tangent. Nice.

vous avez manqué le film qu'ils ont parlé au sujet du tantricism et comment il était tout au sujet d'atteindre l'explication tout en mangeant, devenant bu, prenant des drogues, et des un bon nombre de sexe?

This whole "Found note" thing gets me thinking about a project i keep meaning to start. Phase one: collect stuff -- Phase two: ummm collect stuff....

what happens if you do is you end up with notes and bits of lino that you keep for 20 years which means i have moved house and carried thaose things easily 20 times...so think on, you may be better off. If i had never moved house i might be one of those people on the tv programmes you get now where they send council workers in to force them to throw stuff away

i found this at postsecret.blogspot.com its a weird idea, people post their secrets there. i know i should have done it as a web link, but remember, i am a slow learner, and i only just learned how to put in the regular worm holes

okay, so that might have been cheating in oh so many ways, not least i didn't find it, i was sent it, but check this out, that i found on Peter's 'Bridges of New York City' - it looks like something we used to hear late at night on the radio during the Cold War, or does it mean something normal to anyone?

well, exactly. mind you, i would never have got a job as a code breaker, i still think the shipping forecast is really just a beautiful poem, and have a hard time thinking it is a proper weather forecast saving lives of fishermen

elaine! the NUMBER STATIONS!!! like home.freeuk.com/spook007/ or www.dxing.com/numbers.htm ? oh wow, that stuff fascinates me. tell me more about em!

elaine: 3rd May 2005 - 15:07 GMT

well done, that researcher! well our little visitor seems to have fitted fairly nicely into the MO - late at night your time, lateish here, and certainly not a hot time on citynoise, i happened to look because i had the site up having posted the lovely car for you, and my boyfriend the robot, and I saw this and it took me right back. i havn't heard this kind of thing for ages, but i suppose there is still a use for codes, and where better than a site like this to post a global dead letter? i don't know much about any of it. the famous code here is the enigma from WW2 which was broken in blechley park, where they put all the academics and crossword enthusiasts for the duration. sadly, that would not be me, i am too left field, i'd be the one staring out the window

Jamie: 21st Jul 2005 - 11:17 GMT

on a new tangent: here is a photo i found this morning

i don't know what it is

elaine: 21st Jul 2005 - 11:56 GMT

that is kind of weird. it seems to be on some kind of polythene mat on a bed, and there is an orange juice bottle behind for scale... wood?

a note found the other day
