GENERAL NEW RELEASE SPECULATION TOPIC

[DaveJ]

I have a feeling this may end at a 6/24/2013 release date.

6, is well, 6.
24 is 2+4, which = 6
2013 is 2+0+1+3, which = 6.

666. Wasn' this the goal of their last official release (TCH)?

Sorry if this has already been brought up. Hard to keep track at this point!

I haven't heard this one man, and I like it! A lot of people are speculating a June release, would be sweet if it was that date for the whole 666 thing too, and I wouldn't be surprised. Do people think a June release is realistic though? I feel it may be a bit too soon, but I really hope I'm wrong on that.

The background image on boardsofcanada.com has changed.
As of yesterday it had a lower brightness than the background image for the news and the discography tabs (I specifically noticed this yesterday because I had never seen it before).
Now the brightness on all of the background images match.

I cannot surmise what this might mean, just noticed it.

? I don't see a change, the exif data for the background is still showing 1998-08-28 19:33
I know, exif is anything but secure but I didn`t notice any changes?

Sorry about that.

Also, when you decompile the SWF file at:
http://boardsofcanada.com/discography.swf

there are things that have changed, the two audio files are different from what they used to be I think. Didn't they used to be a pair of relatively ambient beds? Now they are very fast bursts of noise, like a click.

Last thing, there is a "shape" now in the swf file:

google image search has yielded nothing.

all the talk of encryption keys and one time pads has me obsessed with that blank tweet from last month. my brother and I are thinking if we can just remember what time it was sent on march 23 it might mean something. but he's into numerology and thought 23.7.13 more fitting, who knows..
TWITTER
that is all.

Are you sure that's new? The sounds there are just barely a blip and sound more like system sounds when you click on icons, but I can't be bothered to check the code for each sprite in that swf.

Furthermore the audio files are still there... you just need to check the source page for the site when you have clicked on Discography, shows you audio/06f.swf and audio/06m.swf

can you explain to me how this works? X and Y lat and longitude, 4 codes yea, which is X and Y? but we've 2 more to go so where does that leave us?

i dunno how to use this, sorry

[aloiv2]

Enter them into the "grid reference" field.

[Ken Cosgrove]

One of those coordinates links to a street beginning with my surname. Boards of Canada are trying to communicate with me!



(or it might just be a coincidence)

No TV ad in the UK tonight.

No TV ad in the UK tonight.

Personally, my money's on [as] as the TV station it will be broadcast on, just because of their relationship with Warp and the target audience and what not.

With the two fill in coordinates, they make a circle around the Lammermuir Hills and/or the village of Longformacus.
