    As you can see from the time stamps it was a short night for me...work, work, work. I thought I would add a quick addendum to my Computer Puzzle Alert novel.

    As it turns out, and after I thought about it a bit, having the alert on the full page does churn out false positives. I verified that overnight cause every 30 minutes I got an alert that the page had changed. Well of course comparing page 105 with the current page 109 will always cause a miscompare. DUH! Anyway the alert might still work as long as you stay on that page but I think you may have the same problem. Once the page has been edited and it differs from your alert you will get false positives. Need to do more research I guess. You will just have to be aware of when the page rolls over and update the alert accordingly.

    Or because I had inklings that this might occur and why I set up the second alert! The second alert seems to be more consistant. I would still probably set up the page alert also incase the first page isn't updated promptly. It also helps to see what other activity is going on in the thread.

    Well its off to work, hopefully the strong winds are with me and I save on gas. Either that or I break out my umbrella and fly to work. Later peoples.

    Hey happy people,

    my first thought here is "Look up!"

    The detective is looking with his magnifying glass, and the fish is jumping up.
    And the man in the red shirt is looking up.
    And if the jogger should look up to avoid being crushed.

    Then you've got the "+ML <up arrow>".... so "M.... LOOK UP"

    So what's the M?

    Alright, my first thoughts are:

    spied+er+fish=SPIDERFISH

    OR

    spotted+angel+fish=SPOTTEDANGELFISH

    AND

    box+sing=BOXING

    I'm feeling pretty shaky about my first thoughts tho! :rolleyes:

    Finally a moment of free time. I was thinking along the same lines as cjsbug, and here is what I thought of, although it sounds like from garbot1 that I'm on the wrong track also.

    detective: look at
    boy/man: look up
    fish: look over
    boy in box: look or look in
    opera singer: out
    airconditioner falling on jogger: below

    so what do you get: LOOKAT LOOKUP LOOKOVER LOOKOUTBELOW

    so the boxboy: could be LOOKIN then OUT and BELOW

    all of this is telling us different ways to LOOK, so take it a step further and you get FIND or SEARCH.

    I can't figure out +ML<up arrow> other than the <up arrow> may mean uppercase.

    I thought staulcubs answers were pretty clever also. I was thinking the boy was acting like a little angel.

    I don't know why I'm still up. Its been almost 20 hours today so far or was that yesterday!?! I had a few more ideas I've been working on but nothing is coming of it. Before I go to bed here they are.

    the <up arrow> of the +ML could actually be a melting 'T' and then
    it could read '+MLT' = MELT, possibly MALT


    boxboy = I
    opera = scream
    I scream = icecream
    +MLT = icecream malt


    detective = spot a clue,
    boy = spot something,
    fish = spotted fish,
    boxboy = box seat,
    opera = spot light
    jogger = wrong spot


    detective magnifying glass reflection on his hat
    boy is in a state of reflection
    the fish image has a reflection in the water
    all the other objects have a shadow reflection


    something like REFLECTIVE MELT = ICE, MIRROR, IMAGE, SNOW, GLACIERS, BUTTER, ICECUBE, ICEBERG, WATER, SUN, SUNLIGHT, HEAT, LIGHT
    REFLECT
    REFLECTIONSHADOWMELT
    REFLECTSHADE
    REFLECTIVESHADES = SUNGLASSES
    SHADOW, SHADOWS

    Thats all I have thought of so far. Since tomorrow is already here, I better head off to bed before I meet my daughter getting up for school.

    Okay you have my undivided attention for the next 30 seconds, what kind of help do you propose?

    I would really hate to go to bed and find out it was solved minutes after that.

    I am kinda of wondering about the wording garbot1 just used 'Sounds'. If you notice in the picture the opera singer is the only one making noise.
