Here is how I did it. For example, to get the current hour, set up the following in User Functions:
--Return the Hour
function FullMoonHour()
t=os.date('*t')
start_day_hour=t.hour
return start_day_hour;
end
In your code, simply set you local variable equal to this User Expression.
Let me know if you want ne to post screen caps of URWIGO.

I found a 50 plant grow op near a cache once. The "gardener" carried railway ties into the woods, built a raised garden with top soil etc. It was a thing of beauty. Took less than 5 minutes to remove it.

It is working fine for me. I have several hundred caches on my Ignore List and they do not show up in my PQ's

From what I've seen, reviewers recommend reviewers. I've seen the Province of Ontario go from 3 reviewers for all of the entire Country of Canada (one of whom didn't even live there), to 5 in Ontario alone in the last 4 years. I suppose if a reviewer doesn't recommend anyone to be a new reviewer, there will be no new reviewers.
Ontario is a lot bigger than Texas (415,000 sq. mi vs. 268,000 sq. mi.)
And counting Cache Tech, we actually are up to 6 reviewers at last count. We added 2 in the last few weeks. And they are busy. In the last 30 days, there has been close to 1,000 new caches in Ontario. Not to mention all the archiving, etc. the reviewers perform. And BTW, we have the best reviewers in the world.

So what is it that makes the APE cache the APE cache? If it's not the location, not the container, not the contents, what is it? Is it the GC number? The name? Or is it, after all, the icon?

Arragh. I'm so heartbroken about this. I really wanted to go up there for the upcoming mega-even, and go for this at the same time, and I was really looking forward to buying the triad coin. Now I can't do this.
Why would you want to do this? You already found it on January 15, 2010. At least according to the log I received via email a couple of minutes ago...
It would appear he got caught with his fingers in the cookie jar. His Found log is gone.

If the cache container is taken, it should be archived.And no, I seriously doubt Moun10bike will archive this listing due to someone muggling it
I would take issue with this if it were done.If it turns out to be an Ape original box is the key, Then I will gracefully give up my Ape Cacahe in Brazil to either to Jon or Groundspeak if it can be done, its a very big peace of history for our sport. This will bring more pleasure to folks in the sport if there has to be a last one it should be in WAWhile it is no skin off my back one way or another I would think that treating this differently than the the other ones would be unfair.
No skin off your back and no icon off your list of icons. Maybe if they took away the icon when the cache is archived you would think differently.
That is uncalled for. You owe briansnat an apology. He is simply stating a fact.

Every person who participates in an internet forum should be forced to come and read this forum and see how a good forum can be run. It never ceases to amaze me that not only is there someone here that can answer the question, but it is done typically in a matter of minutes.
I am proud to be a member of this forum.
Thanks matejcik for the quick solution. Thanks to everyone for making this forum the amazing community it is.

Excellent timing on this question. I have a similar interest.
I am trying to generate 5 unique random numbers between 1 and 52. I am trying to create a poker game.
If someone would like to post a sample while loop, it would be much appreciated.

I didn't have to sign on. The cookie remembered.
And it is running like greased lightning.
Good job.

Are you sure the zone is active and visible??
Can you upload your file to here?
-
Use the Set statement. Under the zone name is a series of named attributes. One is "Active". Using the Set statement you can select "True" or "False"

I think Garmin really missed the boat with opencaching.
Instead of creating an alternate listing site, they should have created a variation of the game.
For example, they could have used the Wherigo concept and created a caching adventure where there was no need for log books and containers. You load the "cache coordinates" into the GPS and when you reach that location, the GPS recognizes it and automatically marks it found in the GPS. When you get back home, hook the GPS to the site and it marks them found. The problem with Wherigo is the lua language is not very secure and almost anyone can 'break" the cartridge. Presumably, Garmin could build everything into the firmware and make it much more secure. No log books, no containers, no false logging.
I am sure it is not quite that simple but it is just one small idea they could have utilized to expand the game.
We don't need an alternate listing site, as other wannabes have shown.

I am struggling to understand what you are asking. So, this might be way off in terms of the answers you are looking for. If so, please clarify.
I don't think there is a limit to the number of zones that you can have. However, there is a limit to the number of ACTIVE zones. For Garmin players, I believe anything more than 5 will start to give you trouble.
Once you are finished with a zone, change its active status to false. For other zones, don't make their active status true until you absolutely have to.
As for visibility, there is a "range" where the zone is visible. If you are outside that range, the zone will not be visible even if it is active. To get around this, check the "Always in Range" box for the zones.
Hope this helps.

I do love that in their ad promoting their own site, the Garmin GPS in the ad has a Geocaching.com cache page open on it as Isonzo Karst pointed out. Giving away geocoins that can only be tracked on Geocaching.com to try to get people to list new caches on their site is too funny. Priceless.
I recently bought a Nuvi. It came with an offer for a free membership here. This is months after the launch of their site and probably a year or likely more after it was planned. Even OC prefers GC.
If you spent any time at OC, you would prefer GC too.

Unless there are pictures, isn't this all heresay? Just sayin' is all....
I have seen screen captures of the bookmarks in question. So the bookmarks do/did exist. But as pointed out earlier, there is nothing wrong with having a bookmark. And there is no rule against keeping copies of logs within those bookmarks.
There is nothing in the bookmarks that could not be just as easily captured with GSAK.
My take is that there is three sides to this story. The OP's. The Bookmark Owner, who is intelligent enough not to wade into this thread. And the truth.
I am not sure what the OP is looking for anymore. A number of posters have clearly given what I consider to be excellent advice: Ignore him and he will get tired of the game. In fact, if the OP had not resurrected this thread yesterday, it would have passed on to page 2 and obscurity. Not sure why the OP has chosen to perpetuate the thread. I do not see him/her gaining much support here.
-
Reads to me like you are stalking him.
-
My new advice to the OP is to give hime the same treatment. Visit caches just after he did and alert the cache owners to problems that might possibly be caused by the previous finder. For caches owned by your friends, don't even bother checking the sigs and mention in your logs that you didn't notice any sigs from that previous date.
I hope you said this in jest. Lowering yourself to his level just perpetuates the problem. And possibly escalates it.
Ignore the guy. By doing anything else, you are simply feeding his enjoyment of jerking you around.
-
Maybe it's as simple as he doesn't like the way you log your finds sometimes. There is certainly a wide array of opinion on these forums gegarding that subject. Maybe somewhere down the line you blank logged or cut and pasted on one of his caches and he took offense. There's all sorts out there. Like some of the others have stated, it's probably best to ignore.
This is a very interesting comment.
I randomly checked 10 logs by the OP. Nine were blank logs and the tenth, while not offensive, was highly critical of the CO.
Like so many of these geo-dramas, there is a lot more to the story than we are being told.
-
Mine ran fine and were waiting when I got up this morning.
-
I assume you mean to "wirelessly" transmit info from one cartridge to another while you are playing. If so, then I am pretty sure the answer is no.
-
Here is another log where the finder calls the CO a jerk. But it is a pretty funny log, obviously in jest.
