 		reousgheanle
Hello everyone... I'm brand new to all of this but I'm ready to get involved! I messed with "reousgheanle" for awhile and noticed if you take away every other letter you get "roshal" or eugene" I did a search and found a "Eugene Roshal"! - creator of RAR file format for data compression and archiving, and FAR file manager. Haven't figured the rest out. I will search some more.

 		Great solve! It makes sense. Eroshal is actually E. Roshal. Haha. Although I don't think I would have recognized the name. So how does this tie in to the weird circle thing? The phi sequence looks really close, but just not exact like the one Jeff showed us. Ugh. I'll keep looking.

EDIT: I had an idea. So if that Roshal guy invented the .rar file format, maybe we are looking for a .rar file on bullerman.net that Jeff posted to help us find him? That would explain why he can't let Bullerman see it.

So far I've tried help.rar (from the JPEG file name), phi.rar, eroshal.rar, etc., but I'll keep looking!

 		GOT IT!
Rename HELP_eroshal.jpg to HELP_eroshal.rar and open with WinRAR. Now you have a new document inside!
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I will find a way to communicate. I promise. I know what Dan wants. He needs me to finish the camera. After not taking the pills for a while I can remember. I remember what this is all about. I have to finish the camera and get out alive. I will try to buy some time. I'm not going to take anymore pills as long as I can get away with it. Going to the cemetery, I had to play dumb. I know who Dan Bullerman is. Don't trust him. Like anticipated, he took me hostage... He is holding me somewhere until I finish the camera. Until then, I stay alive. If you're wondering why I dont just fight...he has me behind some weird system...i cant get out. As for Steve, he really is dead. He was a friend. I believe the camera (s?) have something to do with him being seen. Anybody who was on this project, can be seen. I am just the latest. If I don't succeed, I won't be the last. He will come after you. Play along with his tricks; but don't trust him. He has given me access to a computer. I can get onto his website as admin but somehow everything else is blocked...I have been lucky enough to get on the www twice. Usually dan is around...i cant do much without him looking over my shoulder. I don't know how much he knows about technical details but I am guessing not much. You guys need to know the truth. I dont want to tell you much on here... I will be in contact. Anything weird on his site happens, don't alert him. Please stay in touch. I will need all of your help. ps, cstrife311 is a bot. he wont help much.

Jeff

 		Nice one guys. Way to go. And kudos to the PM. I don't think we've had one like that before.

I knew something was odd about the Help...jpg when I looked at the hex code. But it wouldn't desteg so I gave up on the idea. I got Eugene from the letters last night but was too tired to look into it, and I didn't know how an Eugene was involved in our story. I would have never thought of Roshal, though. I would have had to stumble upon it, via google, like I did with the Euler and the e number. Who needs college when you've got ARGs.

And that explains the circle in the lower right of the image. Look what happens to the Icon when you change the file type to rar.

 		Found this blog:

http://dvinfo.net/conf/showthread.php?s=7d734b87eec26cedc7f44f4b70f41a3e&t=90166

This is an old post, and I think I'm way off!

Note that there is "Dan Bullerman" from Cedar Rapids Iowa! Not sure if I'm way off or not? Seems coincidental though. Also he refers to a camera in his Post. ????? Also noted is Jeff Rhodes...

Forgive me everyone, Just grabbin' at straws here!

 		that was a good shot Mojo, very sound logic. What's the odds of a Dan Bullerman from Cedar Rapids, Iowa posting about a camera in a forum at Digital Video Information Network. Looks like our PMs been working on this for awhile. my 2 cents.

 		Yes! Okay so our pseudo-phi circle is now a stack of books. Where does this leave us? Jeff is obviously doing okay, given the circumstances, so are the books just a side-effect from changing the file format to .rar or does it mean something more?

 		He asked us to stay in touch and yet the only way he can communicate with us is via bullerman.net. So how are we supposed to contact him? Should we leave comments on his blog? What if Dan checks it? Or should we try to e-mail him? I'm at a loss what to do next.

 		The stack of books is just the WinRAR logo / icon that RAR files use.

 		The only thing I know to do next is watch www.bullerman.net for any changes, it will be Jeff's way of communicating with us.

Agreed. Any communication going the other direction may have to be piggbacked on interactions with Dan.

BTW Sylvia, what OS did you use to get that screenshot of the RAR file with the logo? I don't think the circle turned into the RAR logo and that it is merely obscuring the circle, but I could be wrong. We may still not know its meaning.

 		I got Window's Vista and WinRar 3.0 installed. It's an older version that I've had for several years. I didn't think about that when I posted the image above. I guess the circle would turn into whatever your system uses to open rar files with.
