Peter who helped start this group is now in India. the goal is to videoblog his experinece...but he's finding it more chanllenging than he thought. he dropped a note. ___________________ I�m waiting for my videos to upload. I am in a so-called broadband internet cafe. I�m uploading videos (between 3 and 9 Megs each), taken with my little photocamera. I upload them through my Gmail account to myself (10M max per upload), and Jay then optimizes them. We have to do this because BallofDirt.com hasn�t gotten their video-upload thing to work yet..... You don�t really want to spend your time in internet cafes waiting for videos to upload while travelling in India. I hope I find some fast internet when I go check out the Akshaya project next week. It�s hard to blog on the road. The setup is different (no Google toolbar, no Firefox). ______________________ very cool what he's doing. we are a long way from everyone around the world taking part in our video conversations. although i just heard that S.Korea is the most wired place in the world. they get like 10MB bandwidth automatically.... -- Jay Dedman Manhattan Neighborhood Network 537 West 59th NY NY 10019 212 757 2670 ext.312 http://www.mnn.org
