-Dessinger to Peter while traveling in India in David James Duncan’s, “The Brothers K”

Technical Tips

Skype:
-You can download a free program at http://www.skype.com/ and talk to us (or anyone else in the world) for free over the internet if you invest in a pair of headphones. (We have wireless internet in our apartment now!)

Flickr:
-We'll try to put any new pictures at the beginning of the Flicker page.
-Try the Detail (shows comments) or Slideshow (takes awhile to load, click on i for captions) options
-To make comments, click "Comments" and sign up/in

YouTube:
-We can only arrange the first 9 videos on youtube, so sometimes there might be more new things than are immediately apparent. We'll try to switch the main video on the channel page whenever we put something new up.
-Click on the "More info" part in the About this Video window to see our captions. The related and promoted videos are not from us and we can't control what shows up there or in the video window after the clip finishes playing.
-You can subscribe to our YouTube channel to be alerted whenever we put up a new video but you should tell us who you are (Perquimans?)
-To make comments, click "Add Comment" under "Connect with dosPotoos" on the left side, then sign up/in

-If you have a slow connection so it takes awhile for things to load, open the page and then do something else for awhile it won't be so stop-and-starty
