The page address for the picture at Parvulus Patroni is:

http://bp3.blogger.com/_pz0Axvmdd0c/SJKG3MfTk2I/AAAAAAAAAA0/36tTF4brj28/s1600-h/0001.jpg

Why is the picture named 0001.jpg?

I dont know if it means anything or if anyone else has noticed but there are 9999 pictures named 0001.jpg to 9999.jpg.

It might be a good idea to check some of these for other messages, I would be willing to do this if someone could explain how.

On the other hand they may have been created to leave messages in.

Any thoughts?

I get that picture no matter what I put as the filename... even dgjk.jpg Maybe it's just a rerouting type thing?

Here's the answer (well, kinda)

Well, here is a picture of a statue of Amun. I've never stegged an image so I don't know if it meets the requirements. I bet that would pretty much grab his attention. And I guess at the end of Mikey's blog right under the last one would be as good as any place as any to post it since we have no other way of getting it to him and Amun did open up the line of communications there.

Thats an awesome idea, a pic of Amun!

Have him put 1208473659 under the picture, disguised in some way (like Amun did with the IP address).

...I can't really think of anything except a phone number. I was going to say break it up into pieces and assign events to the number of days. The most obvious is days sober, but he already said May 1, 2003 was his last drink, and that doesnt work out with what we have available (~1950 days).

[EDIT] Hell, name the picture 1208473659.jpg

Don't forget we also need to choose a passphrase when we steg the message and figure out a way of getting this passphrase to Amun.

Sorry for the double post but I was just brainstorming a bit and thought of a way that Mikey could get the message out there in a very creative way. The Houston Museum of Natural Science hosts an Egyptian display in its lower levels http://www.hmns.org/exhibits/permanent_exhibits/egypt.asp?r=1
Maybe Mikey could blog about a trip to the museum and somehow work in our stegged image of the Amun statue and the passphrase. Nice and neat and would not be too blatant. What do you guys think?

[TheIllustratedMan]

Actually... pretty great.

Have him work in the phrase "can you say" whatever. Have whatever be the password.

So for instance:

...
There was an actual mummy there. Can you say creepy? I would rather not end up under glass for people to gawk at.
...

Or just bold letters, have the first letter of each line spell out the passphrase, etc.

So he can't get in touch with Sara, but can't do much snooping due to house arrest. Seems like an invitation for us to provide some assistance.

I think we should see if Mikey is willing to help. Since this is connected to his original investigation and now that he knows about all the weirdness going on, maybe he'll be willing to snoop around and/or give us some useful information.

That sounds like a good idea. I Googled Sara (and Sarah) Wylie last night and came up with a FaceBook profile for each of them but they look OOG.
