Oh… you didn’t explain that very well or I read it wrong…
I see..
What about leap years? 😛
I think you read my pet peeve incorrectly…
I am referring to someone else calling every phone in MY house to try to tell my wife something frivolous.
Me, I hate phones altogether. My wife yells at me all the time for not answering the phone. I say that’s what caller ID and the answering machine are for. It’s never for me anyway…
Kinda like a silent LCG auction.
Since he does not keep track of his numbers any more
Gotta run is such a smart a**
I did say I don’t keep track of numbers. However, logging milestones is something I still take enjoyment in. Yes it sounds like a numbers thing but it is not really when you think about it. It’s just interest in a few numbers, not all of them. 😛
I do want to retract my “it’s not about the numbers” stance just slightly because I do watch one specific number. That number is the ratio of caches I have placed to caches found. That ratio remains around 1 cache hid for every 10 caches found after 2+ years. Yeah, they are not all active but many are. I actually tried to make them equal to 1:10 before hitting 900 but I ran out of steam on my newest series and I was itching to go find some for a change.
Thanks for the congrats and thanks to everyone who takes the time to solve my puzzles and hunt my caches.
Because the verification process would require a Premium membership, and possibly GSAK ownership, it would not go thru.
Interesting… There is already a challenge cache published identical to this. It’s one of King Boreas’ challenges: GC1AG09 – A Cache A Day … for 365 Days?
Perhaps another case of past precedence is not set by already approved caches.. or maybe he (assuming Dave rejected you) just doesn’t want to publish another duplicate challenge cache idea..
Interesting to note that the cache mentioned above has one logged find.
Since were on the subject of phones…
People who call your home phone, then your cell phone, then your other cell phone trying to get a hold of you to tell you something frivolous that could have waited.. Apparently some people believe it’s not physically possible to ignore a phone call. Some days I hate technology and what it has done to some of us.
I think there are other better uses of our groups disk space and bandwidth. Like leaving it open for more controversy and arguing on the forums!
Seriously though, it’s about time we utilize the photo resources of this website.
Very cool. Thanks for putting that together.
Thanks for the response gotta run. Now I remember taking one look at a gpx file and remember it being xml.
they need many special moments together.
sounds like my young kids who want “special time with mom or dad”…
the expectation that you will/should not share a geocache hunt is unrealistic…
I have never run into this. Everyone I run into is cordial and respectful. Good luck I just guess.
I was chased out of a park by a perverted “cruiser” once though. He figured the only reason I was in the park was to pick up another guy… I didn’t stick around to tell him the finer aspects of geocaching.
Jeremy – Thanks, It’s good to hear a response from someone who knows a bit about this.
Is the GPX file format itself invented and proprietary to groundspeak? For example, if I built a cache database of a bunch of geocaches that were NOT published to geocaching.com could I export a GPX file and distribute it? What if a cache was dual posted? Is the crux really only that the cache info was submitted to groundspeak’s site?
I understand this is not exactly what rsplash is talking about but I am curious if the GPX file format is “theirs” or if it’s just like any old delimited file format. Bear with me here as I have never looked at a GPX file in a text editor so I know nothing about the format but I hope to look at it more when I have the time.
Congrats zoesbro!!
That won’t work.
Not exactly how the inventor of the light bulb thought about things now is it…
I am not going to comment on the technical can/cannot as I am a technical person but have never run a geocaching website before and am therefore not qualified and won’t pass judgment as quickly as others.
I will however state that if the WGA offered Groundspeak “owned” content to the public, I am sure we would be breaking the law. Granted, I am not a lawyer either so if one were to comment I would not be offended if they told me I was off my rocker dead wrong. Now if we wanted to build our own database of geocaches and all of our members co-submitted their geocaches to both listing services, now that would be a different story.
One more thing. There are many people doing many different things out there so just because you don’t have a use for a database of all caches in Wisconsin doesn’t mean that everyone does not.
btw, thanks for sharing this rating script!!

Give a hacker 5 minutes and they’ll revamp your website right in front of you…
Greasemonkey scripts are the main reason I now use Firefox 100% of the time for my geocaching web browsing needs.
