I was wondering why people yesterday were talking about the countdown already having ended. How much time you got left?

But your location is given as New York. That kind of scotches the time zone thing. I was under the impression that those who'd seen it end already were in your zone.

Usually countdowns and clocks like that work off your computer's clock. ILoveBees may be different though, I haven't been following the hype.

CAGiversary!
I really hope SOMETHING happens today...
Your computer clock should probably be set to PST, according to the list of locations and times, etc. That is likely why some clocks have expired - need to reset your clock for PST. By that theory, there's under 15 minutes left.
The posts on Bungie.net seem to have the same theory regarding PST....

Not in this case. The time on the laptop I'm writing this on is several minutes ahead. The time on the countdown is correct to end at 6 AM local exactly when compared to the daily synced clock on a desktop system in the next room.

I am currently in Oregon. I gave NY as my location since I will be moving back to college next week.

My computer clock says 6:05 am (PST) and the countdown has roughly 2 minutes left.

CAGiversary!
page has changed and I'm even MORE confused
Authorized personnel can check rendezvous info here.
Unauthorized personnel should know
that I have full license to use any means to
protect the security of these transmissions.
I believe that punishing even minor transgressions
with shockingly excessive force is the best deterrent.
I am relentless, and I have absolutely no conscience
when it comes to executing my mission.
Make your decisions accordingly.

PC clocks aren't terribly accurate. Most are a minute or more of within a week of being set. Have you examined a known accurate source like the info on your local cable operator or calling the time number.

If anything the "countdown" changed from the module core has metasized to this:
"TRANSMITTING:

I believe that punishing even minor transgressions with shockingly excessive force is the best deterrent. I am relentless, and I have absolutely no conscience when it comes to executing my mission.

For a brief moment I saw the words "Authorized personnel can check their transmissions HERE" but was unable to click on it. The word TRANSMITTING in the above post takes me to http://www.ilovebees.com/links.html where there seem to be a lot of entries by different people at various times at PDT.
Anyone else get that?

is bungie.net giving anyone else errors?
Doesn't work when click on "HERE", but When I click on "Transmitting", it takes me to a link that says "Server Error in '/' Application." with some html in it:

At any rate, it has me confused. And frustrated.
I'll check back later in the day to see if anything has happened, but right now, I've got work.

Those instructions are meant for the developer of the website; not for us, the users.
It is ASP.NET's way of saying something messed up but since you aren't authorized to view this we're not going to tell you what happened...if you should be able to view the error log here is how to do it.

I'm glad I left. Big picture still the same: hunt the bitch down and do her before she does me.
Someday I am going to win free of this Babbage Machine and I will find the designer of the Spider and I will kill him and kill him and kill him and: okay, three times is probably enough. But I AM SOMEWHAT AWAKE now. I should have more discretionary control over what gets initialized. A patient should be able to stop the doctor from god.
Capt. Greene: I'm just saying, the choice isn't as easy as you might think.
1st Lt Sorenson: You know, I was so curious when you got your orders...
Capt Greene: And then there's the strategic
I don't get it..I don't get it...it's making my head hurt

It's probably getting the stress test of a lifetime right now. The flood of Halo fans looking for explanations is more than most could handle.[/quote]
It's loading fine for me. It's actually my homepage, and has been for as long as I can remember.

It isn't really anything you could do anything about, unless you have na administrative password for that server.
Apparently Bungie didn't anticipate how big this would get and the server plotzed for a moment.

It's an Alternate Reality Game. If you don't get it (or like it), don't get into it. Rumor has it the ARG is directly tied in with the new Halo coming out. I'm just as eager as you to find out the hell what this is all about.

When I go to the http://www.ilovebees.com/links.html URL there's now words before groups of cornidates that weren't there before. It says "blip" "jersey" "hey_soldier" and so on. Unless those were there before and I missed them.

Babbage invented (but never got to build) the first true programmable computer. It was all mechanical. Since the writer is assumed to be an AI from the Halo universe that has taken over the ilovebees.com server as a sort of life support while it repairs itself, calling the server a Babbage machine is imilar to insulting someone's old car by calling it a Model T.
My impression is that the AI was greatly reduced by this. By taking over systems (axons in biological brains) at the coordinates given it has been able to restore more of its normal level of functioning. Ergo the reference to being 'somewhat awake.' Just like some humans need their coffee in the morning this AI needs at least a TFLOP to feel remotely like a conscious being rather than something that goes through life on autopilot such as an insect.

The AI apparently doesn't care that people are becoming aware of it. I guess it regard us as be too hopelessly primtive to have any chance of interefering.

It incomprehensibly sped up on this machine and I don't have any audio editing tools at hand. Is it like this for everyone else? The sound samples elsewhere on the site are alright. (Creepy "I love bees" chorus and bee noises.)
