[[Feature]Add Labcaches to statistic + pq's]

As I've mentioned before, I don't care whether lab caches are ignored in the find counts (like benchmarks), or are included in the find counts (like virtual or webcam caches). But the way they are, they just confuse things. Logging a lab cache gives you two different find counts, and complicates questions like "How many have you found?" or "When is your next milestone?" which should be simple.

 

I've made this suggestion for the lab caches but I will say it again:

 

When GS/GC decides to count lab cache finds, it should not be done with a retroactive date. What I mean is, say starting April 1st (great day to start it), all previous lab cache finds should be counted as April 1st find not the original date. Why? Because milestones will change. From that day forward, they should count normally.

Same happens to me, using Chrome browser.

[What's up with Certitude?]

How did you manage to dig up this thread? Was it because their domain name was not resolving yesterday?

Yes, I dug up this thread because certitude's down again. Oh, shoot! Now I've boosted this thread for another round this year. Well, I notice that at least people don't seem to pile on certitude even when it flakes out every other year, so I guess that's an implicit testimonial for it.

 

Seriously, I just put out my first puzzle cache and used certitude because that's what I saw the cool puzzle creators doing. Now a couple days later certitude goes belly up. Half of me is thinking it must be all my fault, the other half of me is wondering why I didn't listen to the wisdom of fizzymagic. I seem to make that mistake too often...

 

Certitude is down as noted in the profile:

All geocheckers go down from time to time. I had the same problem when I used geocheck.org, geochecker.com, etc... Just need to be patient and live with it.

[Geocaching.com site update October 6th 2011]

What about this?

Don't see it in the release notes.

[Can anyone recommend a good cryptology and/or puzzle cache solving book?]

The Power Point presentation can be downloaded from:

(about 2MB)

 

Sorry for reviving this old thread, but does anyone has that PPT saved? That website appears to be down.
