Here's the image on the page:

There are several clickable areas above the image, with these URLs:

Yes strange but interesting Smile Look forward to seeing what happens on Monday.

I'd like to think it was Zandi, and even if it isn't, it's still cool because it's all part of the Myst realm in someway regardless of who is doing it.

I read the code as well. It was amusing, but I wonder if ZoneAlarm didn't cut out some of it.

(for those who don't know, ZoneAlarm blocks portions of the HTML source from being run or viewed)

Ahhhhh Shucks!

Shortly after the first clue was posted, I tried to access the following URL: http://www.pathoftheshell.com/spiral.html, but the page could not be displayed. Tried again, this morning, and still nothing. I even tried Zandi's preafter.com, to no avail. Confused

Not sure WHERE to send proof, but I'm open to suggestions... Wink

Oh, wait... I did find this URL: http://www.pathoftheshell.com/zamboni.html

I have no idea where you send proof??? Unless the person who is doing the site is looking at the various forums to see what people are posting? When I right clinked ands viewed the source code, it said Zamboni and put that into Google which came out with the same zamboni.com website the link you posted leads to. But apart from that I have no idea Confused

The source code at http://www.pathoftheshell.com/coordinates.html

has changed to:
<!-- Maybe I should get some of you folks to help me with my math homework... -->
<!-- Send more to nczgyji@kvocjaocznczgg.xjh -->

That translates to sheldon@pathoftheshell.com

Thanks for the updates, Patchallel. This is the most cryptic puzzle yet...for me, anyway. Which ain't necessarily sayin' much. Embarassed

But, I'm keeping my eyes Shocked peeled.....

New page:
syntax? you mean there's supposed to be syntax?

The contents look like Java...

Edit: I stand corrected; it's C++
