Keyboard shifts can be really tough unless your a touch typist.

To encode something like "celsus" you one take your left hand and but the index finger on the "g" key instead of the f key. Than take your right index finger and but it on the "k" key.

You should come up with "vr;did".

To decode it you do the reverse. put your left index on the "d" key and your right index on the "h" key. Then type "vr;did" to get
celsus.

Hope this clears it up. It helps if you type by not looking at the keyboard.

Various major updates today - Greg has updated his blog - sinister plans of a vaccination are afoot, and things are getting worse, although he's finding ways to avoid the conditioning and has gotten to know Naomi better, who has a blog of her own and is also aware of the stuff going on.

http://www.livejournal.com/users/greg_master/

http://naomirul3z.blogspot.com/

Also, checking Tom's blog, it seems that he can get some screenshots from the computers, but he needs to crack a password.

http://www.livejournal.com/users/digitaltom/

'160165144144151156147156157163145' being the password. My first thought was, "Duh, ASCII."

"áÑÉÉù£ô£¥úæ" being the result. Don't know quite what to make of it.

Split it into octal triplets, and then convert to ASCII:
Code:
160 165 144 144 151 156 147 156 157 163 145
p   u   d   d   i   n   g   n   o   s   e

Had an MSN conversation with Tom just now, log below.

And yeah, I figured out what the password was just before you posted it on his LJ. I feel like a moron.

Quote:
[10:25:43 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: yo you there??
[10:25:49 AM] Sasha - kick: Yeah man.
[10:26:04 AM] Sasha - kick: I saw your LJ update, dude, and I think
the password has something to do with ASCII, so I
translated it into text characters.
[10:26:15 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: ah cool dude
[10:26:17 AM] Sasha - kick: "áÑÉÉù£ô£¥úæ"
[10:26:19 AM] Sasha - kick: Was what I got.
[10:26:28 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: i cant figure it out its a password i
think
[10:26:36 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: ill try that then
[10:26:39 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: cheers man
[10:26:43 AM] Sasha - kick: Yeah. I think those might be letters.
[10:26:45 AM] Sasha - kick: No problem.
[10:26:59 AM] Sasha - kick: Try the ASCII characters, or also try like
aNEEuFoFYuae or something like that.
[10:27:10 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: yeh i thought that
[10:27:17 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: wait here while i go try
[10:29:06 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: hmmm im not getting anything
[10:29:10 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: i dont think thats it
[10:29:27 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: it might not be ascii then??#
[10:29:34 AM] Sasha - kick: Maybe not. Hm.
[10:29:39 AM] Sasha - kick: What's going on at Celsus today?
[10:29:54 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: same old same old but its getting worse
[10:30:03 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: they make the music longer now
[10:30:27 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: and we now have to watch a video while
doing homework sometimes
[10:30:31 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: it sucks man
[10:30:36 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: i want to get out of this place
[10:30:44 AM] Sasha - kick: Sounds like it.
[10:30:48 AM] Sasha - kick: Well, we're trying to help.
[10:31:02 AM] Sasha - kick: Out of curiosity, does Celsus belong to
any school boards or educational associations?
[10:31:03 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: i know and were doing our best to help you
help us too
[10:31:09 AM] Sasha - kick: Or is it entirely private?
[10:31:29 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: i think its a private school which makes
it off any boards
[10:31:44 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: but greg says we have a school governing
council
[10:31:58 AM] Sasha - kick: Huh. So someone might be able to get at
Victor's track records.
[10:32:03 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: naomi knows the number were thinking of
like phoning them up and stuff
[10:32:07 AM] Sasha - kick: This dude seems kinda spurious, to say the
least.
[10:32:19 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: yeh hes a jackass nOOb
[10:32:25 AM] Sasha - kick: Haha. Agreed.
[10:32:28 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: hehe
[10:32:49 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: we just need to figure out like what to
say to the governers or whatever
[10:33:12 AM] Sasha - kick: What you should do is masquerade as a
concerned parent.
[10:33:37 AM] Sasha - kick: "Blah blah blah, my child is enrolled at
Celsus, blah blah, drastic changes to the school I'm
concerned about, blah blah, can you tell me anything
about the new principal, blah blah.."
[10:33:52 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: yeh!!! like lie to them and stuff
[10:33:55 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: rofl that rules
[10:34:08 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: naomi could do that
[10:34:21 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: ill tell her as soon as she comes out of
english
[10:34:40 AM] Sasha - kick: Nice.
[10:34:49 AM] Sasha - kick: Wait, I've got another feeling about the
password, I think it's just a different kind of ASCII.
[10:34:55 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: OMFG
[10:34:58 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: dude
[10:35:04 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: someone jst like figured it out
[10:35:09 AM] Sasha - kick: Where?
[10:35:13 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: they commented on my journal just now
[10:35:28 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: i just got the email that livejournal
sends me when ppl comment
[10:35:34 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: 'puddingnose'
[10:35:40 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: wtflol??
[10:35:41 AM] Sasha - kick: Should've thought of that sooner.
[10:35:50 AM] Sasha - kick: That's what I just thought of, too.
[10:35:51 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: i have no idea what octal is rofl
[10:35:55 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: i feel like a nOOb
[10:36:05 AM] Sasha - kick: Don't feel like a n00b, you have the PW.
[10:36:10 AM] Sasha - kick: Let's get some screenshots, dude!
[10:36:26 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: yeh OMG ill have to try this later when i
get to my laptop
[10:36:39 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: cos thats the only place i can get hold of
the network cable
[10:36:54 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: as soon as i get back to my dorm ill get
them
[10:37:13 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: im in computers class now but it is teh
sux0r so i came online
[10:37:29 AM] Sasha - kick: Nice.
[10:37:36 AM] Sasha - kick: How have your teachers reacted to the
changes in the program?
[10:37:44 AM] Sasha - kick: Like, have they been going along with it
completely, or do they have their doubts?
[10:38:32 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: i dont know really cos i dont really speak
to them all that much
[10:38:41 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: some are more different than others
though
[10:39:08 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: some like gregs teacher seem to be still
really nice but some have got angrier and stuff
[10:39:36 AM] Sasha - kick: Maybe they're getting the same treatment
that you are, or some other form of
hypnosis/brainwashing/whatever.
[10:39:44 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: yeh they could be
[10:39:50 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: or there in with the whole plot
[10:40:00 AM] Sasha - kick: Yeah.
[10:40:18 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: dude i hope there not in with it cos then
we stand no chance against all those teachers
[10:40:19 AM] Sasha - kick: But these drastic changes started when
Victor replaced the headteacher, it's not like he
brought in an entirely new teaching staff.
[10:40:25 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: yeh
[10:40:31 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: he would have had to convince them and
stuff
[10:40:41 AM] Sasha - kick: Yeah, I think that Victor might be taking
a few people into the fold, but that not everyone's in
on it.
[10:40:55 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: yeh that sounds most likely
[10:41:07 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: nOObs.....all of them
[10:41:11 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: rofl
[10:41:20 AM] Sasha - kick: Haha, dude, who's not a n00b to you?

[10:41:42 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: brb
[10:43:40 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: back had to show my dumbass teacher that i
pwn at databases
[10:43:45 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: yeh anyway
[10:44:08 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: greg told me earlier to tell you guys if i
see you that naomi went to see sam today
[10:44:23 AM] Sasha - kick: Cool, how did that go?
[10:44:40 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: she says that she thinks the brainwashing
and sh1t is getting to him
[10:45:04 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: he was pretty moody with her but i think
his memory of trying to help on the site n stuff brought
him back a little
[10:45:19 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: he gave her his aim addy so ppl can
contact her
[10:45:40 AM] d1g1t4l t0m!: it was sammye2004 i think

MSN ?

How did you set up your MSN Messenger in order to see when "Tom" comes online? Do you use the e-mail address?
