[Onionring]

Have we got a chat set up for this yet?

[pjv3]

Quick question what do you think "bring forth the fruit of goodwill" means. Victor tells us on the celsusscholl.topcities.com page to:

[blaqueice]

ièm thinking phase 3 will be carried out on the 12th of October or possibly May 1st...call it a wild guess.
Phase 2 was carried out on the Èopen day for prospective studentsÈ the next event is parentéteacher day...but the Annual Celsus Party seems like a much bigger event...maybe that will be Phase 4...either way...keep an eye on these dates

[nady]

hi everyone ..

well I noticed that noone typed what was on that picture in the trash folder so here it`s

[blaqueice]

ah yes..the haert of a man tino is pure evil

[Magical Elbows]

Got this mail from Thom this morning..

"you dudes! you asked if i could like take a picture of the crazy login
screen while i work on getting some screenshots......well i got greg to go
to the comp department and get the digy cam from them and stuff and i
managed to get a pic. its attached. this is my laptop connected up to the
network on my like desk thing in my dorm room. the long bit on the left is
the flash and it was just finishing when i took the pic. you cant really see
much right now so ill try and like get some screenshots and stuff for you. i
think i have a way to get past the nOOb security progs now.

LATERZ"

However, once opened, the attached screen.jpg (weighing in at precisely 0 kb) was simply a blank 1024X768 document, with nothing special in the headers in the way of revealing EXIF tags or hidden text. Bizarre. Maybe gmail just screwed up, did anyone else get this e-mail?

[Magical Elbows]

On reflection, if not something more similar, this was just a screwed-up transfer, I shot Thom back an e-mail asking him to re-send it.

[Magical Elbows]

Got a reply, with the image.

"i dont think it sent properly last time so ill try it again. if it still
doesnt work then ill have to send it to someone over msn."

Check it out.

[L.Boomer]

Well, yet another instance of "Bring forth the fruit of goodwill".

Also it looks as though something is written on the yellow diskon the left side of the comp. Time to fire up photoshop.

**edit** at the top of the left side of the screen it also looks like it says "you" in lighter blue letters.

[pjv3]

a google search for "fruit of goodwill" didn't reveal much. For what it's wortth the origin of this phrase seems to be from:
Henry Fielding
Miscellanies Volume 2
AN ESSAY ON CONVERSATION

Newsletter report

Hi guys it's late so this is a quick post for you. The newsletter that has the report on my ex-headteacher's absence has come through and has put me under even more stress. As if I haven't already got enough to think about...what with trying to trying to stop myself from going crazy and brainwashed and then trying to work out what the hell is going on (like who the hell is homebase?). I don't know see what you make of it. I copied it out for you because I couldn't take a picture as I had to give the camera back.

"Missing: Jeremy Allenson (ex-headteacher of Celsus School, Celsus).
Students, parents, staff and nearby residents alike are all shocked by the announcement of Mr. Allenson's unexplained absence.
On June the 3rd 2005 the community was informed by the deputy headteacher (who had assumed control of the school temporarily for obvious reasons) that Mr. Allenson had retired. Most people had presumed that this would be the case as Mr. Allenson had not been present at the school for at least two weeks. The deputy headteacher kept control of the school until it closed for the summer. Celsus School re-opened on August the 18th and the new headteacher (Victor Infusco, who has since introduced some radical changes to the premises) formally announced that Mr. Allenson had not retired but was in fact missing. The governing board had agreed to inform the students and the community that he had retired so not to worry children or parents until that school year had ended.

Jeremy Allenson had become well known in Celsus for his charitable and light hearted nature as well as his eternal commitment to education. At 50 years old he has spend 30 years teaching, 15 of which have been at Celsus school. He had been the headmaster for 6 years, working as an English teacher and then the deputy head before then. Recently there has been talk of him perhaps stepping down as many began to think that his relaxed attitude towards rules and teaching was not suited towards today's society. Therefore over the past 2 or 3 years he has not been a favourite for the headteacher position, but remained a strong figure in the community.

The police are refusing to release an official statement over Mr. Allenson's absence (which many have complained to be highly unusual) and are refusing to clarify whether or not there was a kidnapping involved. It has been leaked; however, that Mr. Allenson was under pressure from an unknown source about an unknown subject for quite sometime, making him stressed and irritable. His wife, Angela Allenson, was kind enough to speak with us, 'Jeremy is a kind and generous man who would never hurt a fly. I don't think he ran away because he would tell me, we were very close. The weeks leading up to his disappearance were difficult because he was very stressed about something which he would not explain to me. He simply said he could not tell anyone. I know he kept receiving strange letters and phone calls, but I can't find any trace of them. Please, if someone has any information, tell the police. I just want him back safe and sound.'

Although the police tell us they are continuing their investigation many still claim that they are being very relaxed over the case. There will no doubt be an inquiry after the investigation closes over whether or not the police carried it out properly.

We will keep you informed as this story unfolds."

Right then. Goodnight and I'll update you more on what's going on tomorrow."
