Neurostalking
With nothing pressing to do this afternoon, and nothing forthcoming from Young "slackarse" Atom about it, I decided to tram it out to Neurocam's supposed HQ on St. Kilda Rd and see what was up.
Nothing spectacular to report - it's a quiet, leafy, three-story complex of 20 apartments, situated directly opposite the Royal Victorian Institute for the Blind, and identified by plaques on either side of the gates to its parking facilities as "The Clivedon".
Online research suggests it's being used for both residential and commercial purposes, but there's no visible signage, apart from an estate agent's board out the front advising that unit no. 15 is to let.
On my way home, I couldn't help noticing that the prominent billboard ad for online employment service seek.com at St Kilda Junction currently advises commuters in fifty foot letters of fire (okay, several foot letters of pastel blue) to "SEEK HAPPINESS". I wonder what Innocence's legal department would have to say about that.
Not that they've got anything to do with Neurocam, if you believe the Cam's recently updated disclaimer page, which claims "Neurocam is not Innocence". (Nor, we're told, is Neurocam "Complicant" - apparently a reference to this - or "anything to do with spiral dynamics". They've also disassociated themselves from Jason Mahling's Splint project, and the manufacture of recreational drugs in the Netherlands - although not the manufacure of recreational drugs anywhere else, which might be significant. Or possibly not.)
Perhaps not uncoincidentally, a plug for Neurocam in the January 8th entry of Shelly Innocence's online journal Shellywood (as in "My sister Kelly came over today and said 'Shelly, you must try Neurocam!'") was replaced at some point over the last week with one for everybody's favourite subcutaneously administered anti-wrinkle toxin botox.
The Cam's disclaimer page has also stated for some time now that Neurocam is not Archavida, apparently in response to Archavida's site pointedly declaring that Archavida is not Neurocam. But someone using the name of notorious (former?) Neuro-associate Robert Henley has registered the domain name www.archavida.org. Meanwhile - as spotted by Mr. Cardoza - Archavida's Harry Smith, using the same contact details, has registered the domain name www.neuocam.org.
Both sites remain vacant at time of writing.
I have completed a fifth of assignment NCI-2332/01 (aka "Operation: Magus"), but I'm bound not to disclose anything about that.
