I like Podcacher, they are a great show and can be funny too.
OK, I'm a complete Luddite... I went out and bought a little MP3 player, but have NO clue how to download the podcache podcasts.... HELP??
Chris
1 - Just go here: http://www.podcacher.com/?cat=2
2 - Select the show you want and click on the title
3 - Right click on "Listen To The Show" and download (save link) the episode
4 - Then install teh MP3 file on your MP3 Player, each player is different so read your manual on how to install an MP3 on the player.
Right click..... DOH! I was looking for something more complex. Thanks, works like a charm

Just noticed this (link) on the current email/sale. Looks like we're becoming more mainstream all the time.
Too bad, really.
I kinda like keeping quiet about it.

Not that I recommend doing so, but it is possible to build a device from a television flyback transformer that operates much like an electric fence, and install it on your car. When functioning, it would send a soft "warning" jolt to someone touching your car. Should the creature touching the car continue, it will respond with up to 50,000 volts as a clear message to "please go away".
I recall seeing it in Popular Electronics many years ago.
How about one of them really cool Microwave blasters??

Cripes, am I asking for it, or what??
He he, not bad... So, who's got the coveted "FTF" plate?
How better to rub it in to everyone else when they see that sitting in the parking lot!
TOMTEC
There are kiosks here and there that you can use to see if the name you want has been taken or not. I couldn't believe mine was not taken, so I went for it. Took 10 weeks to get, though.
I might look into those special screws, I think.

...but what do you suppose is the technology used here to do the "tracking"?
RFID tags. Well developed, quite common, and within a few years of becoming ubiquitous.
Yes RFID tags are going to be everywhere, but 99.99% of them are passive and must be scanned (or placed thru a scanner) to be read. These coins alledgedly have a transmitter built into them and are pumping position data, to what system I don't know. Conspiracy theory? Uh-oh (clickie).
Poppycock, I say!

Some of us here are involved with electronics, satellites, etc and I have to go along with the April Fool thing.
We all know that electronics is shrinking all the time... look at your cell phone, iPod, etc etc and MEMS technology is coming along just fine.. and for that matter so is Nanotech
but what do you suppose is the technology used here to do the "tracking"?

I think it's sad that this thread has been sitting quiet for a bit so I will throw out a question...to be honest I don't even know the answer (yet)
How much of the trans canada trail is now complete? (in km or m please)?
as an aside, for the past few years we have been buying a metre of trail as "welcome baby gifts" for those new parents who are close to us.
OK, I'll go...... 2000km?

A new one went up not so long ago and the activation was pretty recent, some relocation occured with the old ones, and now they are two visible in your area.
What new bird has recently gone up that has the WAAS payload?

.... and there's NOTHING like the first find. It's a one-time deal, and although all finds are good fun, the very first one will always have a special feeling attached to it.
When I was getting my pilot's licence, that very first solo gave me the same feeling. The first time you're allowed to go up there on your very own without the instructor.... priceless. The 2nd time was fun, the there's nothing like the first time.
Congrats!

May stilll show up. I was unable to place a TB while out of town so I put it in a local cache to get it moving again, this was back last October. Due to bad weather, time of year or whatever the cache was not logged as being found for over 2 weeks. Someone reported it missing from the cache, I check and confirmed it was gone. yet another month passes and it's now logged in Sweden, some 6300 Km away.
I've sent several emails, but to no avail.
And no, it wasn't a real $10 bill, just a one-sided photocopy, although it's been pointed out to me that I probably broke the law by photocopying money.
I drive over 100 km/hr on the freeway as well.

I do live in Milton, Ontario and have just started caching in the area, i am willing to travel for an atv cache
if the land is legal to operate the atv on. I find that caching is a very good way to learn of places that you
could never find in other ways.
Really anything near central ontario
There are three right close by to you, which actually ARE ATV trails, starting with GCMYFR

Attention all Geocachers! Attention all Geocahcers!
Be on the lookout for a missing TB. The TB has been missing since
September 15, 2006. The TB was last seen in the cache By Road or by Rail http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...ee-ddef07040920
However, it was logged by two different people on 9/22/06, at an unknown location.
The missing TB is a Keychain, it has the metal keychain loop, and a round gold design with the Cub Scout Promise written on it. http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=124430
If you should see this TB please confiscate it, you may log it, and contact me
for furthur instructions.
Please pass this information on to other cachers.

Based on the logs, I'd say it looks like the cache has been muggled. I wouldn't hold my breath.
Odd that the log date is later than the date the cache went missing though. Probably just a bad date on the log though.
My one and only (TB clickie) has been missing for 2 years now.
I'm pretty sure what happens is that a cacher picks it up and then quits caching.... doesn't respond to emails, etc. Kinda frustrating.
-
Also...... join the OGA, they have some tips right on the main page.

Dunno the dates, but where I live (western GTA) I have been seeing the pickup trucks parked at various forest areas for a week or so now, early in the morning. Maybe some info here.
Kinda weird that part of the URL is "pubmenu", eh?
-
One of my caches is locked (with a padlock) and the key is inside the cache.
Most people really like it, others get frustrated.

Anyone who subscribes to any satellite tv service knows what it is like to have the TV go blank and a message like "searching for satellite signal" pops up,usually when the weather is stormy or during a very hard rain. Therefore the weather has to be the culprit creating the loss of satellite reception at that point. Also the sun does affect ALL radio signals in one way or another,the effect and the amount of that effect depends greatly on the wave of the radio frequency. I am a licensed amateur radio operator as well as cacher,sorry for getting a little off the main topic. I don't think the sunset really has much to do with your reception loss though,most of the effects of the sun i was referring to is created by sunspots or solar flares which may cause more effect on the "sunny" side of the earth .Thats my 2 cents.

It's important to understand the frequencies in question.... the GPS signal is roughly 1/10th the frequency of your Satellite TV signal, and is less affected by rain, etc.
