Prelogue


As a brand new editorial assistant, I understand that I have a long way to go to really 'get' what Medical Communications is all about. I seem to have enough difficulty getting print items proof marked and sent to production. Or I get slowed down by a seemingly endless list of copyright permissions. Or sometimes I panic that I am not being legally compliant and so don't talk about my work.

Today's Annual Company Meeting was great in the sense that I got to see my company as (a bit more of) a whole. There's a lot to this career I've picked. From proprietary websites to physician videos, and from good-old publications to conducting steering committee meetings via Skype-with-tassles (essentially). There really is so much that I could get my teeth into. And it's all really exciting! I think I would love to break away from the 'old-school' (but never-the-less important)publications, and into a more inventive, digital role. I'm looking forward to developing new ideas in the future, giving clients a new service and inventing new ways for them to show people all the lovely, interesting science that surrounds their new drug. In an increasingly net-savvy world, I think it'll be really exciting trying to invent new digital media to get people to look at your pharma client's website.

What do I know, I'm only an EA? But today has really made me want to learn more about this industry. It's an industry I didn't think I'd be part of and I still want to get more into science media production-y based roles, but how exciting is it that if I stay, and if I work well and get lucky, in twenty years it could be me making these big decisions about branding or digital presence of a pharma company. Or maybe that's a terrifying idea. I am only an EA, who is still learning the role.

http://www.deathball.net/notpron/finale/pron.htm "aliens are coming" Source code says "what am i?" After the image file. 1. What are you looking at? 2. It's clear there is no link, so you don't need to look for a user name and password. 3. You ned to change the URL. 4. Keep guessing what you are looking at. 1. I tried "/ufo.htm" and got wrong way. 2. Then I tried "/egg.htm" and got another wrong way. 3. One of the "Wrong Way" clues says you have seen this before. 4. I guessed "/lamp.htm" which was RIGHT! :)

Level 16

Image
http://www.deathball.net/notpron/zoo/mznvh.htm This is the image you are presented with. It's clear upon first inspection that each of the squares corresponds to each of the previous 15 levels. 1. The source code says "invert a-z" 2.Could this have something to do with the URL? 3. What do the numbers in the pictures mean? 4. What does # mean? 5. Apply what you've been told to the levels referred to. 1. Inverting the letters in the URL gives. "all/names.htm" 2. You know it has to do with the usernames of the levels concerned. 3. The # indicates that the name is inverted (the clue is in the source code) 4. The numbers in the boxes must refer to the letter number of the user name for that level. 5. When there is a # after the number that means, invert the letter. 6. Combining all the letters from the usernames you get the following DOOM MURDER And there's the Username and Password :)

This is notpr0n...

OK! I've had a new idea for this blog. I'm supposed to be revising! HAH! So obviously I've started playing notpr0n again! It's a massive online click and play webriddle! And it's nigh on impossible (for me anyway) without help. So I've decided to go through each level I've down and write hints and teasers for each level, then in a black font I'll write the solution to each level. This was, those who don't want to see the answer don't have to. And those that do want to see the answer simple have to -A to select all writing on the page and view the solution. 1 last thing, I can't be bothered doing all the levels, so I'll start from where I left off before I started revising (in my opinion this is wher eit starts getting hard. LEVEL 16 FOLLOWS!
