A new not-Rhys?

As has been recently posted on Omegadelta.Net, Will has been recently the subject of what may be the biggest practical joke since not-Rhys.

Adorning a beautiful arrangement of flowers, was a teddy bear (a clue perhaps?) and a large pink ribbon. Oh, and the message:

Roses are Red,
Violets are Blue,
you love Java
and I love you.
You are my Ace
lets share
another cup of
Java soon.
Happy Birthday
Michael D. Cameron.

When I finally stopped laughing I began investigating the potential culprit.

So who is Michael Cameron? A quick Google search finds a Michael Cameron in Melbourne and in the school of computer science and information technology. Interestingly, this Michael Cameron has a brother Jamie Cameron, the author of Webmin.

Is this name a clue? If so, a clue to what? Or is it simply a red herring designed to steer us from the true culprit. Sounds like something not-Rhys would do. Is not-Rhys back? Have we only experienced a minor reprieve from not-Rhys’ pranking?

Will has declared swift revenge on the culprit, and while this threat may prevent the culprit from stepping forward straight away this may lead to a new wave of pranks to finally surpass those of the not-Rhys saga.

More to follow once Will provides photographic evidence. I only wish I thought of this prank first. I tip my hat to the prankster.

    I don’t think the teddy bear is a clue after all, it turns out the company gives them away with every order. But it did come with a heavy glass vase and probably cost $70-100. I’ve updated my original post with some more info, photo coming soon I hope.

    The CS&IT RMIT link is interesting as that is where I have been for the last six months. That said I don’t recognise the face or name of that person.

    The Java reference is the biggest hit I think, there are only a few people who would put that there and also know where I work. I will eliminate them [off the list] one by one.

    Note: I have not actually told anyone on the internet through forums or my blog the actual name of my workplace. So the suspect list is small.

    Will.
