Much like the lovely Ms. Paige, this webmistress has decided it's time for some spring cleaning.
Of the purely administrative kind.
Call it librarian porn, but the Operatives list needed some discipline. I've deleted most of the blogs that haven't been updated in more than a month, though I'll continue to check on them periodically. Any blog that shows signs of life will be restored to the list. I've also added even more new operatives: another Buffalo, NY blogger Roger That (friends with Toby?); Melbourne (bastard!) op Exodus; and not-so-new operative Conchis, who I suspect may be living la vida Solar. Cam operations in London circa September 04? The Circle di Luce? Hmmmm. (Softly hums the old SS ditty "one of these kids is doing his own thing"...) Conchis recently returned from a prolonged and seemingly unintentional blogging hiatus; it should be interesting to see what he comes up with next.
In other news, Hely updates with the following hash: 2346238487632 1209381203812830912HFK777TRE. Does anybody else wonder if we're being toyed with here? That maybe these "coded" messages of late are pure gibberish?
Last, Q makes a slight modification to his most recent update, adding a link from the "Beware the blue hat" text to fortitudegame.com. Fortitude is a Jason Maling project that will launch its first Australian match on April 9 in Melbourne (natch). The first training day was -- coincidentally or not -- March 20, the same day as the Bolte Bridge assignment. [note to self: do not draft posts and try to answer emails at the same time...]
That Fortitude thing made me blink a couple of times. They must be really bored down there.

OMG- even i was shocked to click on the Ms. Paige link. you chose THAT one!?! ;) well, i put it out there. i'm sure our librarian has it all archived so there's no sense in me taking it down now is there?
:)
i'm glad you are purging the defunct op blogs.... and i'm excited about the new meat- i mean operatives.

Robin, if this is truely you, then you KNOW where I am and you know WHY you know where I am. I understand, Hastings is watching. Your behavior has been erratic (with regard to your recent postings), not at all like you. What is it? You seem frantic. You need to calm down and act with a clear head. Cardoza is leaking information. Keep an eye on him. It's encoded and encrypted and cryptic and I haven't got a clue as to what system of encryption they are using, but they are using him in ways that he hasn't even begun to understand. Ease back off of Hawthorne, she's crafty and not to be underestimated. I understand the allure, but so try to control yourself. None of this is to be made public. Keep calm. As you yourself understand perhaps more than anyone - image is everything.

Beltaine, knock it off.
Or at least learn how to mask your damn IP address.
From here on out I start deleting your shit.

Beltaine is Unwhoiam. That case is now closed. Good stuff.

Interesting, I once encountered another Henley imposter who used the initials RJ...
It is amazing how many Robert Henleys there are out there...

Ahhhhh. I thought I was running a quart low on information; now I know why. Anybody seen Tom Thumb? Or just his thumb. That should do it.

Kind thanks for the link. It has been returned, and not out of kindness. The quality of your content and articles is great (in comparison with other Neuroblogs around here).

It doesn't surprise me that Beltaine is behind unowhoiam and robinhelync. His latest approach seems to be emulating Xul Solar's early alchemy of Neurocam and world news.
