    Pictures - Cool Cache Containers (CCC's)

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted · Edited by MrCOgeo
    ---Adding construction and consequence picture

    So I took a long time to design, contemplate my life choices and then used all the tools at my disposal to relax and review my creation.

     

    (Lavender, shopping with girlfriend, long walks on the beach, quiet music, journaling, working on the house/geomobile, pets and animals, Minecraft(R), headache pills and chaser...)

     

    I do hope you like it, please forgive any irregularities or not.

     

    Sincerely, Corey aka MrCOgeo

     

    PS This was after a few more "newbie" geocaches that are obviously very well thought out... If I am being too cynical or facetious please feel free to ignore and go find a geocache. ;-) LOL

     

    Can you find the hidden Mickey and geocoin? Hmmmm?

    Colorado Zoom Meeting for chat?

    in West and Southwest

    Posted

    Any geocachers out there know of a regular Zoom meeting I can participate in?

     

    I have a muggle interested in geocaching that might want to join and get active,

    but is within COVID vulnerable population and still a bit hesitant soooo,

    at least fellow geocachers talking about their experiences could help ease anxiety and release back in to the wild blue yonder.

    Release Notes 11/13/2008

    in Website

    Posted · Edited by MrCOgeo

    With all disclaimers about "...feature requests..." and "...forward looking statements...",

    are any Geo-IP functionality (also Loki/Skyhook perhaps?...) part of this official release?

     

    It looks to be switched back on, I like It and the locs. are accurate for my use.

    Also I've been noticing new HTTP requests/cookie etc...

     

    No big deal at all,

    I just didn't see it mention in this most recent Release Notes (Nov 13 2008 v1.0)

    Webcam photo/logging

    in How do I...?

    Posted · Edited by MrCOgeo

    I will assume you are asking about this webcam.

    I just looked at that one and it is interesting...

    I see no external link to the camera and just a photo on the page that will not load. ...

     

    - Rev Mike

    Good point Rev Mike,

    might want to try: http://snipurl.com/5bybm for "direct" link to webcam in question.

     

    And direct link to image: www2.comune.venezia.it/webCamSnf/imgsnf_00001.jpg

     

    PS: I have NO affiliation with any of the sites mentioned, all is accessed at own risk. Edited: Added another reference.

    Front page not so good?

    in Website

    Posted · Edited by MrCOgeo

    It may be that it is new to me, but the front page seems to

    have gone from ok, to a little less than ok.

    ...

    It seems that the new page is a little more awkward, although

    I can still search by zipcode. It would be so nice if a cookie

    could identify me, and start me off with a map of my area

    every time I log in.

     

    Thanks

    I have my home page set up with two tabs on internet explorer.

    ...

    Now if I can figure out how to automaticly bring it up at a user defined zoom level my lazy bone would be very happy :ph34r:

    The URL flag is apparently:

     

    ...&zm=#...

     

    So a quick URL snippet for example,

    www.geocaching.com/map/default.aspx?lat=38.81888&lng=-104.88888&zm=14

    works on my end for a user defined zoom.

    Search Question

    in Website

    Posted

    Good site suggestion,

    and how about some your favorite search engine (a.k.a. SearchengineFu),

    as a "workaround"?

     

    For one example,

    Google allows advanced operators such as site:, allintitle: etc...

     

    References:

    Complete List of Google Advance Operators:

    http://www.google.com/help/operators.html

     

    One example using a such a search :

    A Colorado geocache by Greasepot called QZs Dutch Oven Chicken Pot Pie

    http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GC1DYMN

     

    Now how about a power search that supports "geoRegEx" natively?...;-)

    and

    (from: the left hand side navigation bar - Getting Started, Hide & Seek a Cache, etc...) I have it as:

     

    http://www.geocaching.com/forums/

     

    That's about what I thought.

    But those links are redirected directly to forums.Groundspeak.com or forums.Groundspeak.com/gc therefore bypassing the 'register' page. ...

    Good point, as of now the "Register Your Avatar Changes" URLs are redirecting to the Groundspeak Forums directly.

     

    And to retract my last observation,

    my avatar has not updated in the Forum as this posting either...

     

    I too lend my hope (and actually somehow knowing...) They are working on it.

    Can someone spell out the actual url for the 'register' link. ...
    I still have it (from: Choose My Avatar - hxxp: / / www.geocaching.com/my/avatar.aspx?guid=###...) as:

     

    http://www.geocaching.com/forums/register.aspx

     

    and

    (from: the left hand side navigation bar - Getting Started, Hide & Seek a Cache, etc...) I have it as:

     

    http://www.geocaching.com/forums/

     

    Plus my Avatar changes have been confirmed as of now but

    I did log-out, cleared cookies/cache, and then log-in back in,

    but no strong trace backs exist as to that being an actual solution.

     

    Edited: Munged a descriptive URL

    Bookmark message turn off option

    in Website

    Posted

    ... My question is:

    Is there a way to turn of bookmark notifications without removing the cache from your list?

    ...

    Is this already done and I am missing it? ...

    When editing a bookmark list,

    there is a current option to "Notify me when items on this list are logged"

     

    Reference:

    My Account > Manage Bookmarks

    editingbookmarklistdd8.png

     

    I've used this customizable option in bookmarks to set up lists I want notifications,

    those I don't and "tally" lists for various record keeping needs.

    What does WIJG mean?

    in How do I...?

    Posted

    Can you give us an example so we can see the context in which it is used?

    It was on the final log entry made by the cache owner before it was disabled. All that is written it "WIJG"

    Who/What/Where/When/Why

    Galt?

    Support your local geocaching organization

    in General geocaching topics

    Our statewide group in Colorado is Geocaching Colorado (GCCO):

     

    logo_final_140text.gif

    It's the best geocaching group because we are focused on the openness and community ideals of geocaching. We allow everybody to share and learn through online resources and numerous fun and productive gatherings.

     

    In contribution to geocaching, Geocaching Colorado members have and continue to give of their enjoyment, experiences, time, money for our geo-avocation to people, parks and public spaces for the good of geocaching everywhere.

     

    Informally started by a group of concerned geocachers and open to all, striving onward by many intrepid member geocachers of this state and beyond.

    Enjoy, educate and experience geocaching in our colorful state of Colorado and Geocaching Colorado is there for you.

    Plus from my personal perspective, our geocaching group encourages and allows the individual to contribute to our community avocation in love of the game plus the lands that we revel on.

     

    For Colorado geocaching is more than a single ideal or activity but an overall enjoyable friendly experience that allows one to participate in exploring this structure we call existence.

     

    From one to many and all for the people…

    For McAfee users specifically as well,

    I'd also suggest updating your DAT (database files) immediately.

    McAfee has had some false positives specifically addressed in later DAT releases, =>#5198.

    Performance Graphs

    Posted

    You know, I've looked and looked for those graphs a lot in the last 13 or so days and can't find them at all. I know I was not hallucinating and DID see some performance graphs just about when Jeremy's latest announcements came up.

    Can someone post a link to those in this thread?

    Let's see, there's

    OpinionNate's, The Groundspeak ServiceMan of the Century, graph:

    4b026da8-9959-4f59-84b0-fecf433cdfa1.jpg

     

    Or how about netcraft.com : "What's That Site Running...":

     

    41315.4.png

     

    Or even Alexa.com services?...

     

    I am not affiliated with any of these reporting websites nor

    do I hold much relevance without further investigating.

    Data consumer beware, but those graphs sure are pretty...
