No fiction this month. I promised something featuring a/some Journeyman, so watch out for that next month.

Yes this report was written in a rush of broken blocks of time (damn it, "work") so I apologise for any extra spelling and grammar issues that is normal from me...

Month in Review (or, the section where I gush about a milestone)

If you follow the news page, or IRC, closely you will have noticed me going on about a milestone this past month or so. Ood and I beat the war drums loud and we were aiming high.

1,000 exams.

That's where the bar was set. That was the amount of exams we wanted to see passed, or successfully taken, between Headmaster reports.

This morning I woke up, headed to work and then checked the Tally. 1,002.

Yes, that's 1,002 exams.

It's damn close, but still over the goal we had set. It looked like we wouldn't get there a few times during the past couple of weeks, but we made it in the end.

In celebration of this event, ten Scroll of Foundation were awarded to randomly selected people who have taken courses recently. Congratulations to:

• Marek Gunstinson
• Canis Loopus
• Rudoja Walstone
• Riverche
• Uji
• Zenon
• Quejo
• Etherbiail
• Celevon Edraven
• Talon Drear

Enjoy your scrolls!

It's a shame that I couldn't give something to everyone, you're all awesome!

New Docent named!

This will be a short section... because this member will be mentioned again in the next one.

Welcome to Rosh Nyine, who joins the Shadow Academy staff today as the Docent of the HTML Primer course!

Member Spotlight: Rosh Nyine

I know I should put more here, but no words I can put on paper will do Rosh Justice. Recently he's done some work for the SA (keep an eye out), been named Docent, acquired five degrees and skipped the rank of Dark Jedi Knight, moving straight from Jedi Hunter to Obelisk Templar.

Rosh has been a powerhouse of late and I'm sure he'll keep going strong.
