Update 20170306, I see that www.ilovebees.com redirects to www.42entertainment.com/work/ilovebees. The ARG developer's web site; however, they no longer host the original site's web pages. :( In the coming days, I'll work on updating old links below to pages retrieved from archive.org's wayback machine.


AXON Maps have links to opened wav files.

Chapter 1-10 ordered wavs on local copy of humptydumpty.html, (Last update: 2004Oct29)

2004Oct29

1642PDT-- SP not dead afterall. The Queen and Sleeping Princess are now joined as one.  404 page updates; humptydumpty addition of Chapter 10 ordered wavs; contactme updated with fleaspeak throughout the day until Queen and SP united as one.
Hidden text in todays image set contains the Princess monologue. Check fireflies wiki (last archive.org copy August 4, 2009) for more details. Local text only copy here.


2004Oct26

0137PDT--Mel updated recipe7.html with real axon list.  SP updated humptydumpty.html with Chapter Nine wavs.  What more going to sleep now?


2004Oct16

Site upkeep has slipped by the wayside with work the last couple of weeks.  No recipe3, recipe4 or even recipe5 axon maps :(

Prepositions puzzle finally solved from last weeks SP puzzles.  a_pawn.wav (Sounds like...upon)

Two (2) wavs to fill in the blanks from SP's contactme page.  Axon hunting/enhottenation has been going well the last couple of weeks.  All wav files opened in the first two days even with the more complex SEEKING tasks.  And, next weeks promise of requiring even more group effort for recipe6.html axons on 10/19/2004. Update 20170306, www.ilovebees.com redirects to developer's website but individual pages are no longer hosted there. I've found the pages archived on the Wayback Machine, recipe6.html Last save 20141012.


2004Oct01

0916PDT--New updates: contactme.html, embedded text/etc in images and new list of Axon coords on recipe4.html, yeah... well :( none close to me.


2004Sep28

18:20PDT--SP is free, new text on http://www.ilovebees.com/contactme.html (local copy of Pious Flea and SP conversation here.) Humptydumpty page updated with chapter 4 and 5 titles.

17:26PDT--18/19 wavs opened, 6/6 seeking opened.  Top_hat only wav not opened. Good job today.  Now what about the SP, is she free or not?  Anyone...

17:23PDT--25 axon sets: 6 seeking and 19 normal timed sets from preview list. 17/19 opened. 6/6 seeking opened.
6 new crewmembers:
Gilada, Lt.; Tom Bridge, CPO; Trynian, Maj; aliendial, Cmdr.; hmrpita, Rec.; Adam, Lt.

09:15PDT--hives.html page contains new text.  Melissa speaks about Durga in the future and the SP being encrypted with a code to lock her up?  Interesting...

00:48PDT--As expected, TRANSMITTING link on homepage changed to recipe2.html.

New ordered waves not shown on http://transmit.ilovebees.com/humptydumpty.html but still accessible for weeks 4 and 5 have been added to my local copy of humptydumpty.html.

Working on new maps for recipe2 AXON maps will have up later...when I get it finished probably sleep now since work tomorrow can't stay up real late (early) today :(

Someone on #beekeepers pointed out that web pages containing wav files, those hosted on transmit.ilovebees.com web server, are hosted on akamai.net servers for widespread distribution.  DNS for transmit.ilovebees.com returns canonical name a1180.g.akamai.net with aliases of transmit.ilovebees.com and www.ilovebees.com.edgesuite.net with IP addresses of  69.31.48.24 (canonical name: ip-69-31-48-24.nlayer.net) and 69.31.48.14 (canonical name: ip-69-31-48-24.nlayer.net) while <anything_else>.ilovebees.com returns IP address of 69.20.126.147 with no reverse lookup data.


2004Sep27

20:45PDT--waiting for 0000PDT to roll around for update to www.ilovebees.com to show recipe2.html for new TRANSMITTING link on homepage.  Or, whatever the PM's update includes at midnight...

15:30PM--english_longbow wav file unlocked not sure the exact time noticed when I arrived home from work.

18:55PDT--bang HOT 8/8 and nine (9) axons left. How many will go HOT?  Still have old links left on recipe3 and comatas pages.   Not getting these old axons, guess they are probably bad phones or hard to find locations that should move to new location Friday.

18:47PDT--bang at 6/8 and still going strong. Fourteen (14) axons left. Will it go hot?  Hope so...

18:19PDT--lots of new items today,  new puzzles (solutions here), axons marked seeking on recipe1 page all went AXON SPIKE.

Thirteen (14/21) wavs opened thus far today.  Several with only 1 or 2 axons to go live tomorrow.

Axon coordinate wavs opened (check map for link to wav file): stockpile, camouflage, cochlear_tuning, payday, not_anymore, card_counters, taupe_sir, just_a_joke, housekeeping, funnest_fieldtrips, chain_oil, stretch_em, can_opener, double_down,...1 left for today will it open...BANG.

17:37PDT--777/777 reached: Critical threshold achieved. Authorized personnel be ready for axon spike rendezvous.
Resulting in six (6) lucky people talking to a live caller instead of a recorded conversation.  Each resulted in an AXON Spike wav file opening:

on_reach duty brain_ninjas shut_you_off common_ground by_accident
xnbomb, Col. Mike Was, Cmdr. Man-Alive, Sgt. weephun, Lt. Chappy, Mstr. Chf. Shad0, Lt. Cmdr.

01:58PDT--recipe1_axon_maps.html now available but not formatted completely right.  Going to bed will fix later.
What must we do to SEEK them out: on_reach, duty, brain_ninjas, shut_you_off, common_good, by_accident?

New Chapter 3 wavs added to humptydumpty.html page.

00:00PDT--Well they went to recipe1 not contactme page.
