redundant

2005-02-02T14:32:00.000-08:00

February 2 has passed me by, and I did not complete my Neurocam assignment in the assigned timeframe. I am expecting a letter from Neurocam to inform me of my redundancy.

Archavida is not Neurocam but is neurocam.org

2005-01-25T21:16:00.000-08:00

Avery Cardoza points out that the domain neurocam.org has been registered by Harry Smith of Archavida. Interesting that the Admin and Tech roles are listed as belonging to Robert King, of Seaford, Victoria, Australia. Another Melbourne connection. Neurocam and Archavida boldly claim to not be connected to each other, but are we to believe this?

Okay, so which Neurocam operative had the assignment of bugging Nicole Kidman's bodyguards?

The blog of Operative Ice has been disappeared.

I have received a new Neurocam assignment. More to follow.

IO hoax inconclusive

2005-01-16T16:13:00.000-08:00

It appears I've been too lax in my Neurocam / OI thoughts. I didn't read the information at Hamish's blog properly. I thought that OI claimed to have emailed all recent Neurocam recruits - and that's what my fraud claim was built on. In fact, as an anonymous commenter has stated in my previous post, and as has also been mentioned by the incisive Lady J, IO never claimed to be using Neurocam files or emailing ALL recent recruits - s/he only claimed to be emailing some. So the fraud theory is inconclusive. My gut-feeling though, is still that IO is a fraud.

the Oulios Iatromantis mystery

2005-01-12T16:43:00.000-08:00

My own suspicion on the Oulios Iatromantis mystery is that it's a hoax. Hamish engaged in a back-n-forth of emails with this character, in which Oulios states that s/he is emailing all Neurocam recruits of the last year. Whilst it seems that many of the operative blogs have reported similar correspondence from Oulios, neither myself, nor another (non-blogging) operative I am in contact with, have received any such correspondence. I suspect that Oilios is only contacting operatives who display their email address on their blogs. Up until 5 minutes ago, my email address was hidden. This leads me to believe that Oulios has no access to the Neurocam recruitment files, and is simply corresponding only with operatives who maintain a public profile.

Oulios Iatromantis

2005-01-12T16:27:00.000-08:00

Lots of operatives reporting Neurocam activity this week, especially in relation to the mysterious Oulios Iatromantis.

Me? I'm still waiting to hear back about my first assignment; the rather rudimentary introductory package retrieval. Maybe Neurocam are too busy with the higher-level operatives to worry about lowly people like me.

I found a new operative blog: For What It's Worth. It's run by Lady J (I wonder if she's actually Lady Bond).

What happened to Lady Bond's blog?

Neurocam blogs

2004-12-28T21:34:00.000-08:00

Has anyone ever wondered if any of the Neurocam operative blogs are actually run by Neurocam? What if they all were, and I am the only real person in all this?

Neurotrip

2004-12-27T00:25:00.000-08:00

I have returned from interstate. Noticed Neurotrip has appeared, a blog by another Neurocam operative. Nice work. No word from Neurocam for me though.

Interstate

2004-12-21T14:42:00.000-08:00

I will be interstate for a week or so.

Peripheral Neurocam activities

2004-12-20T21:08:00.000-08:00

Smatterings of peripheral Neurocam activity in the last two days. The article in The Age obviously sparked a lot of interest and discussion, which Graham has collated. I found a couple of bloggers toying with the idea of joining Neurocam, and tried to convince them to partake. I got to the bottom of an anonymous comment warning me to watch my step, and started wading through the useful links provided by -Q-. Still waiting to hear back from Neurocam in regards to my first assignment.

DVD burner

Really enjoying Orbis Quintus blog at the moment. And listening to Antonio Carlos Jobim. Acquired a DVD recorder today, am looking forward to tinkering.

A Love Supreme

2004-12-19T21:47:00.000-08:00

My plan for the Christmas break is to listen intently to A Love Supreme from start to finish, once a day. At least.

Carnivale

2004-12-19T18:55:00.000-08:00

Last night, the first episode of Carnivale. I am looking forward to sinking my teeth into this magic-realist drama. Today I hired the first disc of Dennis Potter's originalThe Singing Detective television series.

Neurocam initiation

2004-12-19T14:23:00.000-08:00

I registered with Neurocam sometime around the 11th or 12th of December, 2004. I can't recall exactly. On Sunday 12th December I received an email from a Mr Maxwell Knight, informing me that my Neurocam application was under evaluation, my identity being subject to background checks. I would receive further correspondence if my application was successful.

On Friday 17th December I received an email from Mr Charles Hastings, informing me that my acceptance into Neurocam was imminent, pending my performance on Assignment NCI-3001/02. I was to retrieve a package from a safe located in a secret location. Attached to the email was a map of the safe's location.

On Saturday 18th December, under cover of darkness, I parked my car in a nearby street and made my way on foot to the safe. The safe was buried in the ground, beneath a camouflaged trapdoor. Inside the safe were numerous packages - yellow envelopes sealed in zip-lock bags. I removed the one with my name on it, replaced the safe's disguise, and returned to my car.

Once home, I opened the package. It contained a small badge, and a letter from Ms. Brigit Fischer, the CEO of Neurocam's Asia-Pacific Quadrant. It asked me to send an email to Neurocam stating that I have completed the assignment, and to state the verification code. I did this on the morning of Sunday 19th December.

On the morning of Monday 20th December I received an email from Mr Charles Hastings, informing me that I am now a part of Neurocam. Surveillance footage of my performance on Assignment NC-3001/02 was being assessed, and I would soon be contacted with information regarding my next task.
