for example: http://img.geocaching.com/stats/tb.aspx?gu...5d-9e2a63df15a5 These don't work in this forum since images can't be dynamic. But you can include them on your own page. Tagging a good post for later. Nevermind me. MrW.

Need clever lines for dear wife . . .

Tell her, "Hey, I'm just a CacheAddict. It could be worse. I could be addicted to crack, or even country music...." Mr. Wisearse. -
New cache pages look bad when running 800x600
Cache Liberation Front replied to Cache Liberation Front's topic in Website
So, I guess this means us old folk running at 800x600 get screwed? Gee, thanks. MrW. -
The new look doesn't work well with people running 800x600 desktop resolutions. This screenshot was taken from Firefox on XP: MrW.
-
FYI, the new look of the "Location Download Stars" box at the top of the page looks horrible on 800x600 resolution using Firefox. edit: It's looking a bit better now after a refresh or two or three. The boxes no longer impede/spill over onto the right-hand menu.

Well, this thread's name is deceiving, but mntn-man locked my other thread just notifying the PTB that their servers are down and suggested I post here (to bump a thread with a name which makes the servers appear misleadingly healthy), so here's a repost: Just FYI to the PTB: "Server Error in '/' Application. Server Too Busy Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.Web.HttpException: Server Too Busy Source Error: An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.

Like, yes. MrW. -

Has anyone found a way to display CustomPOIs at a zoomed out range WITHOUT displaying every gas station and restaurant as well? Thanks. -
Bookmark lists, attributes, PQs, and pain...
Cache Liberation Front replied to ClayJar's topic in Website
Since you feel the need to mark everyone's page with your Scarlet Letter bookmark list, and in the process ruin a number of fun liar's caches, I'm going to go add Scuba required to all my caches. Have fun adding them to your list. I guess the fact that the caches are atop mountains with no water around won't matter much to you. MrW. -
Bookmark lists, attributes, PQs, and pain...
Cache Liberation Front replied to ClayJar's topic in Website
Ah, yes, I remember this list. I call it the "Scarlet Letter" list. Interesting how only 27 (57%) out of 47 users found the list useful. Thanks for appointing yourself "Attribute Cop" and marring so many webpages with the appearance of your "Bookmark List" text. Oh, and thanks for also ruining a number of cache puzzles and themes (like "liar" themes). Way to go. MrW. -
Hi all, I use GSAK, Goggle Earth and MapPoint for most of my caching. They're great programs. But I keep looking for ways to tailor and/or batch some of my routine import/export processes. I've created some GSAK macros that export to GE just wonderfully and which save me a few routine keystrokes on a regular basis. Does anyone have any tips or tricks in the GSAK to MapPoint process? I can't seem to find a way to manipulate the import into MP process at all, and every time I find myself going through the same old "Import Data Wizard" and then: Next->Finish->Pushpin->Next->Set symbol red pushpin, untoggle Lat and Long, untoggle display selected field...->Finish. It's a pain, and there's got to be a way to batch/automate it. In fact, I was hoping there'd be a way to match the "type" field in the .csv file to my custom geocaching pushpins, too, so instead of just seeing all my caches on the map as red pushpins I'd see the trad.bmp, multi.bmp, unknown.bmp, etc. files I've imported into my custom symbols dbase. Has anyone out there come up with any MP tips or tricks they'd care to share? Thanks! Mr. Wisearse.

Just an FYI to TPTB, www.geocaching.com won't load at 12:39p PST. It just hangs, we don't even get our lovely "Server Busy" error. MrW.
-
It's midday on a Tuesday, hardly seems peak hours, and I can't use the site because of the "Server too busy" message. FYI. MrW.

Request - Give total of created queries
Cache Liberation Front replied to BootyBuddies's topic in Website
Prime Suspect, I've installed and enjoyed a number of your Greasemonkey scripts. Thanks a bunch for sharing them with the community. They're much appreciated. Best, Mr. Wisearse. -
You have 0 hides and 0 finds, how in the world could you be a judge of how the servers are working? Spending a lot of time logging those 0 finds and 0 hides and getting "Server busy" messages are you? Here's me laughing at you: MrW.
-
Yeah, that's it. There's NO problem with the GC.com servers, none at all, it's all me. lol Ignorance is bliss. If you'd take a moment to actually investigate the problem, even the Powers That Be here have acknowledged their servers aren't performing well. I'm just not one to sit on my hands and turn a blind eye to shoddy service which others accept it and dumbly grin. Hiya, hooshis, glad to see you've come to take your personal problems with me and our iecachers.org site to these boards. Are you still logging caches you haven't found? Oh, and thanks for bumping a thread with over two weeks of inactivity. MrW.
-
Here we go again. 1/20/07, 6:06pm PST, and I'm struggling logging finds on account of the dreaded "Server is too busy" message. Any ETA on stable servers? Thanks, Mr. Wisearse.

I would like an apology and think Ambrosia deserves one too. You misread my post, admonished me incorrectly, then called me simplistic, myopic and childish. I am going to report your post. I think you owe us a public apology. Both your and Ambrosia's posts on the matter at hand HAVE been myopic, simplistic and childish, and I will not apologize for pointing that out. Ambrosia is like me, just another geocacher using these boards to discuss a point. We can disagree til we're blue in the face, and I'm perfectly fine with that. Growth is a product of conflict. You, however, are a moderator and should know better than to even suggest to other geocachers to leave (as you did). Shame on you for your abuse of authority. You should be sanctioned by the other PTB. Mr. Wisearse.

No, as a moderator, sorry, he was not helpful. Nor was he tactful. Saying "love it or leave it" has never solved any problems. Hey, here's a novel concept. Did you think that maybe why the OP and others, including myself, are critical of Groudspeak is BECAUSE we love geocaching? Is that so hard for you to see? We all love geocaching, and want it to be the best it can be. And the way it is NOW is not the best it can be. So we offer criticism in the hopes of it actually improving. We haven't seen it improve, and we want it to, therefore we criticize. This is exact the type of false dichotomy I'm speaking about. "Love it or leave it," and "they're either fixing it or they're liars" are two simplistic, myopic, childish ways of looking at things. They beauty is in the gray, not the black or white. Have you even considered there are other possibilities? I suppose not. And that's why yes-men and -women will always thrive. MrW.
