New In Box Garmin eTrex Never Used
thedeadpirate replied to a cachin we will go's topic in GPS technology and devices
They have seen your "report"...take a look at your other thread in Web Site Forum...all three reports... Oops, did the OP forget to check back on the thread? Because keystone clearly offered to close the thread if you want. -

No he didn't. He thought he was buying a Venture. He DID make a mistake there as you were very clear in what you were selling. When he figured out what he was actually buying he simply told you what he thought it was worth and asked if there was anything the two of you could do to fix the problem. That's not running down your gps. You responding by ranting away and you have continued to rant. I wouldn't refuse to do business with you based on nogoodkris' mistake. I would refuse to do business with you because if someone makes a mistake, you go off like a mad man. Just ask the mods to close the thread. That's the best you're going to get. -

The longer you rant the more damage you do to your reputation. Take the dragon and keystone's advice and just ask for the thread to be closed. That is your best course of action. -

Given the way you have responded to people and continue to shout and rant, it's just good advise to stay far, far, aways from this one. Then I guess the malicious slander DID work, didn't it? It has ruined my ability to sell anything on this website. Nope. You ripping wild_child a new one just because she didn't understand the forums did it. You ripping Motorcycle Momma a new one after she tried to explain that it was a newbie did it. You ranting at nogoodkris after he made a mistake did it. Pretty much you ruined your own reputation by your own actions. -

The OP was clear on what was for sale. But, WOW on the responses. -

Amen. And it started back at the beginning when the OP started ripping on wild_child21 and Motorcycle Momma. -
I can read all the codes in this thread except this the leaf one. I can read it if I tweak the contrast. A lot depends on the crispness of the image and the contrast between the light background and dark of the actual code.

My phone's QR reader couldnt decode that one. That's not a QR code. But Google Goggles will tell you exactly what it is. Your G logo could be read by my phone, the other I had to change to black & white to be read. Refresh your browser and try it again. I tweaked it a bit. When I resized it earlier, I did it in Irfanview and forgot that it munges the image a tad bit. I resized it in photoshop and it seems to be crisper now.

etiquette for individual vs. family finds
thedeadpirate replied to e-bird67's topic in General geocaching topics
It's fine to log a cache that the family found while you were with them under both accounts. -
Interesting. I had no trouble scanning any of the other ones above, but none of the apps on my Droid would recognize this one. Edit to say after letting it retry about a dozen times, "Barcode Scanner" by Zxing finally read it. I use Barcode Scanner by Zxing as well. It had no problem scanning either one.

What type would you assign to this cache
thedeadpirate replied to John in Valley Forge's topic in General geocaching topics
Around here we would list it as a multi provided that gps coordinates are used to lead you to the areas that you need to gather information. If you have to figure out where to get the information, I'd list it as unknown/mystery. -
You can't. TPTB will not adopt out a cache without the CO's direct involvement.

The cool thing is that you can overlay all kinds of graphics and you can resize the QR code as well.

Caching in a different language
thedeadpirate replied to pmolan's topic in General geocaching topics
Geesh, do we have start right off with our jaded side with a new cacher? Huh? The title is aching in a different language. I don't think there's any difference if you're aching in Spanish, French, or English. Aching is aching. -

Isn't moaning and groaning pretty much the same in all languages? -
You Can Get Lost in the Suburbs, Too
thedeadpirate replied to knowschad's topic in General geocaching topics
Dude... gotta say that I LOVE your cap and eyepatch!! +1 -
The same thought came up a couple of years ago. I thought it was an awesome idea. QR codes are very popular in Japan. But they have not caught on here and sadly, I have have to admit that I still haven't incorporated QR codes into any of my caches.

How far can I place a cache from my house?
thedeadpirate replied to SES88's topic in General geocaching topics
I had one located 6 hours away. It was in the same town as my wife's aunt. We made it up there a number of times a year and her nephew agreed to check on it if needed between visits. It was a really popular cache. I archived it when she passed away, though. -
I'm sure they read... and if I was to get a reply it would be something like 'Thanks for the idea, it has been added to the list'. Let's see if Jeremy jump in to tell us what he thinks. They don't always read the forums and I was actually trying to be helpful. he probably wasn't intending to be rude. It just came off that way. ok, it's all better. let's go take a walk.

I think it's a great idea. They could sell the lock and key combination, just the key, or containers with the lock and key set already integrated. You may try emailing them directly and see what they think.

What would be a difficulty level 5

Or a nano slapped to the side of the space ship at Area 51.
