I submit the following guess.

If and only if today, I feel like the machine will ping, or that it must
ping, then the machine that goes *ping* shall go *ping*

I change my state to vacationing. My expected duration
is until I can access my e-mail (which bearing in mind
the past performance of celtic.com may be the 12th of
never).

Looking for some inspiration, I go to the Library and enter *that* room
before going home.

I play the Map Shard which I recieved, and name treasure 275 and Laa Laa.
Please reveal to me a secret :)

After returning from the library, I fell into into my bed and dreamed a
horrible dream of the Ackanomicon, the Elders, Phoebe and the Machine.

Waking, covered in a chill sweat, I heard the sounds of clicks and beeps
which somehow made sense to my fevered brain.

Entering the living room of my house, I found there the Machine, and
here is what I can remember of the strange sounds that it uttered.

IF AND ONLY IF today *** ******** ****** *** ****** ************ *****
******* ********* ** *****, THEN the Machine That Goes *ping* shall go
*ping*.
