Thanks, Doug. I'll check into it.
I'd appreciate it if someone with a Mexican ISP could try to access www.desksgt.com and see if you can connect. That is my root page.
And Legs, I'll send them to you.

Got them!! Thankfully, McFez had already posed them.
I tried to get into various configs of the URL & all failed....then I Googled just 'desksgt', got several search results, saw one I could identify
as yours & several attempts to get in via that route also failed this AM.
This concludes the results of our test..... 
Bill Collector, You can't even see the pics McFez posted in the post directly above yours??

These photos were about 3GB each when I took them off the camera, so I cut off the tops and bottoms to reduce the bandwidth. Maybe that contributed
to the white space issue.

After trimming the pictures, they are posted as800x600 in size,so something has to fill in that area.
A tiny program called "Fast Image Resizer" that I use will re size groups of photos to the size you wish. Putting them back in a new folder "resized"
in the same folder you have the originals. Then they can be uploaded to web for linking. Fast and easy,(for me anyway)

McFez copied the pictures to a different ISP source, ie. Photobucket which is why his show up worldwide.

Correct Lou...Photobucket
Photobucket is really a easy way to go if you are not a Einstein with other software.
Anyone here needs a fast tutor on Photobucket.....I can walk you thru it. Takes 10 minutes
Hey Lou...any interesting treks lately?

Some sites block Mexico ISPs.

That's what I thought, Lou, but I've been communicating with my hosting company and they insist they do not block Mexican ISPs. I'm convinced of that
because my web stats show hits from Mexico. I sent them the trace-route print-out from a La Paz nomad, which seems to show that the connection died
before it left Mexico.
I'm guessing it has something to do with Prodigy.MX blocking some US websites (though it is hard to imagine why they would block a criminology site),
or maybe an outdated DNS, but I'll wait for the techies to weigh in with the final report...

rhintransit, no clue. The photos are hosted on a Los Angeles server and I believe Nomads is on an Atlanta, Georgia server. Come to think of it,
maybe LA is 'foreign'.
But, the Hotspot Shield Blocker program is interesting, and may be a solution for Prodigy users who are having trouble connecting to some websites.

BajaBruno, Thanks for the memories, back in
the day, '87-90' spent a few months in and out
of Muertos, camping on the just to the right of the
hand cleared panga launch ramp, fun times indeed.
Dorado in 6' of water off the point. Was a fisherman
family, Castro, I believe, living there. An Old gringo
Tom living in a trailer. Those were the days

sancho, The old gringo would be roadkill Tom he had a burger joint in Montana and as far as the Castro's there was Arturo, Juan, and Jose, there was a
younger brother but he died. How do I know, was there every winter 1984 to 94. You probably were at one of our potlucks also have many pictures of
those days if there are any Nomads that were there stop by many good times.

Those of you that can't see the pics are on an ISP that reports to be out of Mexico. Lou's ISP reports out of the USA even though it appears to be a
Baja-company.
fyi,

I'm getting the photos just fine here in La Paz. Sorry to see those grass lawns in a region of Mexico really hurting for water. Nothing like
conspicuous consumption. On the plus side, since they're running water lines and electrical wires out from Los Planes for that development, it will
give those of us with property in between access to both services in the near future.
