The gibberish from the window is
Code:
Ml6 8vk8lzxsv7
6l GDJ yl FJ,
turned upside-down and backwards. It decodes to
Code:
Ml6 8vk8lzxsv7 6l GDJ yl FJ,
Not reproaches to 639 by 59.
using the following key and rules:

Code:
ABCDEFGHIJklm.!
zyxwvutsrqpon,?
0123456789

In a given ciphertext:
Characters (letters or puncuation) from the top or middle rows are substitutions for those in the opposite row.
Capital letters represent numbers (A-J == 0-9), unless they're at the beginning of a sentence (such as the M=N in the window text).
Numbers represent the lowercase letter above them.

Maybe we could try 'Vigenere' or 'Blaise de Vigenere' as the key?
Viggy keywords can't have spaces in them (otherwise that's a good idea). It was one of the first things I tried, but VBV may give a different/better result than the program I've been using.

I couldn't find the page after reading it - how did you guys solve the code in the Lighthouse and/or candle pic?
The second to last post in page 11 on this thread has a decent explanation; if you need more details PM me.
