  1. Interesting use of language. I would have thought it was just another way to solve a mystery cache.
  2. I have to agree with the rule.. eh hem.. guideline.. even if I think is ridiculous. We're encouraged to run power trails but for some reason events are controlled with what I believe to be a draconian fist. Shrug.
  3. THIS. And I suspect the claims that the individual was getting nasty probably had something to do with those that weren't first shooting their mouths off.
  4. Confront the impact? ROTFLOL.
  5. I too received an invite. I've built many custom Wherigo cartridges from scratch and have extended some cartridges that others have created and made available for reuse. And by trade I am a software engineer specializing in the Microsoft stack (predominantly back-end services using c# .NET). I am interested in seeing where this is headed and would love to see it evolve. The problem with me being a part of it is that I fear I would let everyone down. When I am not actually working for "the man", I have very little time of my own and like to spend that time with my family or out caching. At the very least I think it would be sweet to be a spectator on the project if allowed. And if I see a point at which I have time and can add value I would drop in and do what I can.
  6. Me either. And I've attempted a bunch. Thankfully my Android app works all the time.
  7. I am pretty sure Groundspeak explicitly said rustynails doesn't get a virtual reward.
  8. Seriously. Groundspeak should send you a bill for disk space usage.
  9. Being triggered or offended by a simple icon seems to be a waste of time.
  10. You beat me to it. As a software engineer this is ideal.
  11. THIS. The reason why I only check in every couple of months now. Same old folks saying the same old things.
  12. How do you know there weren't two cachers that were indeed independent of one another that had just crossed paths at different times.. both right after you? Unless you were out on the flat plains of Oklahoma and could see for miles around there's always the possibility. But then again, it could be that team 100k+. LOL.
  13. I would assume any viable implementation would include testing every major browser, even IE. So if something is wrong I wouldn't jump to conclusions.
  14. I am not sure what is worse. The nasty emails we get upon DT change or the intentionally falsely rated caches so someone can accommodate their friend's stats.
  15. I cannot confirm with 100% certainty but mondou2 and almogul have been accused of tag-team caching.. while on opposite sides of the country. I HAVE NO IDEA IF ITS TRUE OR NOT. Nor do I care about someone's find count. Though I would hope that honesty should be the best policy.
  16. Why is it funny? If there is no one here to offer legitimate non-white experiences then others have filled the void with their own stories. Your baiting isn't necessary.
  17. No. Humans instinctively take the path of least resistance, even when the choice is unethical or immoral (watch the news lately). Not that geocaching is at this same level.. but you're either good or your bad. If you're good then stand proud and loud. If you're bad, well then, pay the consequences even if that's just karma.
  18. The article says nothing about where he or his family descended from.
  19. Dear Mac and Linux users.. there is more than one Windows emulator available out on the Internets for your platforms. ;-)
  20. There should be a byte palette in that same file. Consider that "palette" a zero-based array. Use your above string as a sequence of indexes to the palette array. Lookup in the palette the transformation. \014 is the 14th item in the palette. I might be over simplifying it, but that's the general idea. I have software that does the job for me.
  21. It would be fun to be awarded another. @Groundspeak I know a large group of people in my home area are sitting on credits and never plan to utilize them. I wonder if that is factored into whatever algorithm is being used at Groundspeak? Does no deadline mean they NEVER expire, ever?
  22. False finds don't change my life one iota except for the fact that I don't want to be knowingly associated with anything deemed to be based on a lie or phoney or of poor character or taste. I find it amazing that people will go out of their way to make themselves look good based on fake finds but then don't give a rip at how lame they look when it is revealed (and proven) that they've cheated.
  23. I was just playing around. You've likely seen my profile and know I've hidden a Wherigo or two in my day. So I feel the pain of cheating and coordinate sharing. You and I know it is impossible to stop cheaters. So focusing energy on the Wherigo experience so one doesn't want to cheat in the first place is THE best course of action.
