I’ve you’ve stayed following @ssyndrome in the years since that was a thing, you’ve seen the countdown tweets: THREE TWO ONE BEGIN in ASCII. [Kudos to Jeremy Goss for getting that figured out and to my attention.] This makes sense given that we were given hints about April 24.

So here’s what we’ve gotten today: @ D E R E K W E B B was the last @ssyndrome message, which would indicate that Derek won’t be maintaining two accounts this time around. [He also won't have us be complicit in the start this time.]

In the time it took me to start writing this post, Jeff Holland jumped on the binary / hex in the images:

01010011 = 53 = S
01001111 = 4F = O
01001100 = 4C = L

Any guesses? We’ll keep watching this through the day [although I have classes this afternoon].

1809 GMT: 4 is 01000001 = 41 = A.

Sola. Are we getting another Reformed record?

[And here for a while I was stuck in class.] We got M and I, which set me to expecting The Sound of Music or something, but …

RF user RedSoxLAS thinks she’s got it figured out, and I agree:

It’s Latin. Sola Mi is “my only” but could also loosely be “only me”

Go to www.sola-mi.com and put in your email. The site will then thank you in Latin “Gratias”

It will also point you to a new twitter: @officialsolami and a new facebook

At the bottom of the page you get a new hashtag #whatisthenexus

If you add @officialsolami ‘s first tweet (“hello”) to www.sola-mi.com/hello you get a wordpress blog that hasn’t been fully set up yet but seems like it might be in the future.

Any guesses on the significance of the username sola6770?

Don’t believe her? View the source on the /hello/ page. That’s Derek in ASCII.

Any way, join the Rumor Forum and talk about the new album. Are you excited?
