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.


Sure doesn't -look- like a Jpg. I agree that it looks weird, though I'm not used to looking at bmps... who uses bmps anymore? *gah*

On a more general note, I never got interested in the first incarnation of PG but this does seem interesting... *following*

We actually think the countdown is going to 'end' at midnight EST, as it seems to vary with your computer clock.. which is 5am GMT Sad

 		Presumably nothing happened at midnight GMT? (Just for those americans that are wondering, when your clock hits midnight, it just says countdown complete...)

 		CyberStrike and FireStorm appeared in the IRC room.

[05:01] *** FireStorm has joined #section32.

[05:02] TJ229ER: but it's not..
[05:02] Bill: limericks!
[05:02] Brain\Storm: FireStorm! CyberStrike!
[05:02] CyberStrike: So... this is interesting...
[05:02] FireStorm: What's that chief?
[05:02] sequoya: hey!
[05:02] Bill: we could set an ARG record for how fast the limerick contest began after teh launch
[05:02] Corla: Hi CyberStrike, FireStorm
[05:02] CyberStrike: I didn't think that could happen like that.
[05:02] FireStorm: What?
[05:02] FireStorm: You're confusing me.
[05:02] MissWiSH: huh?
[05:02] FireStorm: And you're talking to yourself.
[05:03] CyberStrike: Ok, look, watch what happens to this packet.
[05:03] FireStorm: Did it just split?
[05:03] CyberStrike: Yeah... it's like... it went both ways across the dimensional barrier.
[05:03] FireStorm: Soooo... what...
[05:04] CyberStrike: Well if data packets can do that... why couldn't reality? Our elemental energies cross all the time.
[05:04] *** JebJoya-ASLEEP has joined #section32.
[05:04] FireStorm: So.. you mean... reality could...
[05:04] CyberStrike: Echo. Yes.
[05:04] FireStorm: So some random person could hear us right now?
[05:05] CyberStrike: Well, maybe not right now, but sometime in the future or past... if the echo bounces right... why not?
[05:05] JebJoya-ASLEEP: any follow up the the countdown?
[05:05] Bill: There was an old man in Peru/His allegiance was with 32/He logged into the chat/and there we all sat/wondering what we should do
[05:05] sequoya: hehe, can you hear us Strike? FireStorm?
[05:05] *** CyberStrike has signed off IRC (Quit: ).
[05:05] *** FireStorm has signed off IRC (Quit: ).


Bold - FireStorm and CyberStrike. Apparently they could not hear us...This was some communication from winter 2005.

This is all happened just after The countdown finished EST.

 		We had a visit (while I was sleeping) to #unfiction from Emily, Jessica and Hydroblast. Emily is the girl we helped during Project Gateway, the others are members of Section 32.

Quote:
[07:04] * Emily_Freedman has joined #unfiction

[07:04] * HydroBlast has joined #unfiction
[07:04] <HydroBlast> Echo.... echoooooo...
[07:04] <Urthstripe> stir it up, little darlin
[07:04] <Bran\Storm> Surprised
[07:04] <Urthstripe> come on, stir it up
[07:04] <Black_Jessica> What are you trying to do?
[07:04] <Bran\Storm> HydroBlast?
[07:04] <HydroBlast> Trying to create one of those dimensional echos.
[07:05] <Black_Jessica> It's not a literal echo, you moron.
[07:05] <Urthstripe> Has anybody seen the movie Primer?
[07:05] <Emily_Freedman> You guys are so silly...
[07:05] <Bran\Storm> dude
[07:05] <HydroBlast> Hey... you ever think those Unfiction guys think about us?
[07:05] <Black_Jessica> They probably forgot...
[07:05] <Alzheimers> noone ever thinks about me
[07:06] <Urthstripe> heheheh
[07:06] <Urthstripe> this is neat
[07:06] <Bran\Storm> i wonder if they can hear us...
[07:06] <Emily_Freedman> Here's the better question... you think they figured out this isn't a game?
[07:06] <rose> what are you talking about?
[07:06] <HydroBlast> Nahhhh... why dwell on something like that?
[07:06] <Urthstripe> This is from the ARG with the gateway
[07:06] <Urthstripe> and the keys
[07:06] * Bran\Storm yells to HydroBlast "HI"
[07:06] <rose> I played that game
[07:06] <Urthstripe> Project Gateway, that's it
[07:06] <HydroBlast> I mean, seriously, if they want to think it's a game... well... that's cool.
[07:07] <Black_Jessica> Yeah... it would freak them out too much if they figured out this was all real. I would be creeped out, at least.
[07:07] * Black_Jessica has quit IRC (Quit: )
[07:07] <Alzheimers> All of life is a stage, and we are merely it's players

And then Shadown came into #section32 and woke me up by beeping my name! *$%£$! Smile

(Shadown was the bad guy who we thought had died at the end of Project Gateway)

 		Sorry to double post, but I figured it deserved a seperate post:

http://home.comcast.net/~projectgateway/ updated.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Click on 'prison' at the top, and you get some creepy audio - possibly reversed?

EDIT: Some more observations about the Gateway page:
- The old background from the original Project Gateway is faintly visible.
- Rose noticed that there appears to be the image of a tennis ball (in shape and colour at least) in each of the scrolling images on the page.
