Does anybody know thhe building in the redstyle pic building?? I have a theory about the lines on there. It looks to me like a shield, the kind that's on school jumpers in Britland with a letter "F" in it. Maybe the name of a school?
The pink style one looks like a bell with the letter "B" in it - B ig B en??
Once again I find something interesting and I have to goto work!!

Actually, there was a very bizarre point and click 'game' that was really more of an art tour a while back...
it was called the hospital.
Thats what the building reminded me of. Certainly the clocktower is not Big Ben, but we'll just have to see what it *IS*

strangly enough this is a jpeg, it seems a little large for a jpg, maybe there is something inside?

I'll post the code on the picture here, so that it's copy-and-pasteable for people wanting to attempt decryption.

note that it looks like there's a space just before the first '4' in the string, but I believe that it is just that the font used will not overlap the letters at all, which makes the '74' look spaced although it is not. (I can't recall exactly what this type of font spacing is called, but I know it's been discussed in another place)

Hmm. It's not actually a jpeg.
When I open it in Notepad2, it doesn't have "jfif" at the beginning... It's actually a bmp -- it has "bm6" there.
Plus it's just...dunno...WEIRD-looking.

Telling us to look back? I went back to http://home.comcast.net/~projectgateway/ and there's a countdown. A day and a half left.

Ooooooo.. I checked the PG homepage just the other day when this first came up, so that's pretty recent. Or at least I think I did. Maybe I just checked the front door? Hum. Anyway, nice find!

Personally, I was kind of looking forward to joining this "Shake Society", with all it's funky and yes, even groovy connotations.
