    I think he would be the coolest geocaching buddy - next to Oregone.

    Well, if I ever see him here in Tallahassee (I'm pretty sure he has a home here) in Cabo's, I'll be sure to tell him all about it.

  2. I've given up on understanding what is required to make my own right-angle cable extension for an external antenna for my GPSmap 76. I figure with the release of the new 76s, there will be more of these and some enterprising geocacher would be willing to whip up a few and sell them here.

     

    I'd really like a right-angle BNC extension cable so I can use the cable and carry the unit in my pack.

     

    If nobody is interested in this, but can give me idiot proof instructions and a shopping list I can't screw up, that would be fine.

     

    Thanks,

    Jake

  3. T-storm, no, I won't leave it off. My membership wasn't a fee being paid, it wasn't a good being purchased...it was an investment in the future of the site. Part of the return on that investment is that I can now (sometimes) participate on a broken messageboard. Wee! icon_rolleyes.gif

     

    The messageboard replaced the mailing list. The one geocaching mailing list I'm on (over at yahoogroups) is *very* low-traffic. I've learned about alternate cache containers, GPS information that isn't in the crappy Garmin manuals, learned of Bookcrossing.com, learned about letterboxing, and gained some ideas for three caches I'm currently planning. I get a lot out of the boards, but only when they're working.

  5. Finger pointing? Lighten up. I'm only pointing to the errors that are plaguing us. Check out the GC.com forum, one person alone got 45 white screens! That's not just buggy code, it's bad code.

     

    For what it's worth, I've dinked around with some coding here and there. While I understand that there can be problems, I also understand that those problems are discovered during a closed testing period prior to public release... I'm a forum user and participant, I am NOT a beta tester.

  6. Browser redirection based on client version is wrong. Standards-compliance is the only way to code.

     

    My apologies for the site having a "retooling" message. I was not aware of that going on.

     

    I'd also recommend http://www.alistapart.com/ for excellent standards-based coding articles and information.
