For anyone that wants to play around with one time pads, heres my Python code that subtracts a pad from a key, scroll all the way down:
http://www.codeskulptor.org/#user10_f9aS7PxtT4jSw2j.py

print old_decrypt_key('boards',[5,1,9,2,2,5]) will remove the pad "boards" from the code " 5 1 9 2 2 5" and print the answer

This is so awesome! too bad I will have to be leaving for work right now. This ride has been great. Kudos to everyone who solved all of the puzzles. You guys deserve a medal or something. And Fredd-E for keeping up with BocPages through all of this madness. Great Job! I'll be returning soon with high hopes of another big occurrence.

and yet the video is of desert.. we're being played with a bit:)
someone at RT has pics and no video, so I think it's being drawn out a little.. sounds like it hasn't fully happened yet, whatever it is.

The way I read it, whatever 'it' is has already happened.

'So, this just happened, outside Rough Trade East. Vid to follow (technology permitting).'


Unless the window dressing is a precursor??

It is from the description of July and Candy:

Someone thinks that the words relate to the numbers (there are 7 words so two of them have to be considered together)

I can't see anything happening tonight, its a bit late just to do something random....

I think perhaps they are just preparing the shop window for the new album, or perhaps some event happening tmrw/sunday.

So we are maybe getting some amateur live footage of them with beards and all?
