[What Kind Of Servers Does Geocaching.com use?]

What kind of servers do you use

 

Database

 

OS

 

What is GUI stuff writtern in? Java, VB...Cobol (just kidding)?

[Typical Micro Caches]

***I'm still stuck on finding out what a "Mocro Cache" is***

 

A StarBucks Drink?

[Name that Cacher]

[Geocaching Membership Card]

I want the premium member Secret Decoder Ring....along with the Secret Hand-Shake and Motto.

[Sound files]

Are you talking about a sound file with a play button somewhere on the page, or a sound that automatically plays when the page is loaded? If it's the later, please don't- it's the second most annoying thing you can do to a web page, right after the < blink > tag.

 

If I go to a web site and some sound starts playing....I'm gone...I hate that.

[Server sure has been doing better]

I am getting VERY tired of this problem. I am a premium member and I expect my dues to go toward adding new servers or whatever is neccessary to fix this problem, and I think that we should all demand the same! I don't care if it is Saturday or Sunday... if the demand is too great, upgrade to what it takes!!

 

Here is an Idea...if a Premium Member tries to log in...and the "Server Is Busy", then a Non-Premium member should be dropped off-line to make room for the Premium Member...that could be another Premium Member Benifit.

[To DNF or not?]

Maybe they are embarrased to log a DNF.

[Night Caches...Do You Like Them]

I was thinking about getting some FireTacks and setting up a night cache....But, before I waste time...how many of you Geocachers like them? Have you done any? If there was one in your area...would you do it?

 

Just curious.

[Why?]

Exercise

[Who's Watching Your Cache/item?]

***You guys hear the choppers coming yet?***

 

I don't hear the Choppers .... But ...

 

I hear the train a comin' it's rollin' 'round the bend

And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when

I'm stuck at Folsom prison and time keeps draggin' on

But that train keeps rollin' on down to San Antone

[Who's Watching Your Cache/item?]

***only those of us who are Platinum members and who have the Polonium 210 endorsement -- and there are only about eighteen of us worldwide, last that I heard -- are able to log in with Grade B1 supervisory privileges and use the control panel to see who has watchlisted our caches.***

 

Polonium 210 & B1 Privileges? That was yester-year. Better renew your membership to get upgraded.

[Website speed is, on average, slow]

***You are already a Premiun Member. You could extend your current membership to put the money in their hands faster.***

 

How about other level's of membership to show one's contribution?

 

Hey, what about that "Titanium" membership I always hear about...for an extra few bucks a year?

 

Premium = $30

Gold = $40

Titanium = $50

 

And

 

Platinum = $100 which includes your own personal IP address on the Geocaching.com servers. This enables you to your own thread on their server's CPU...no waiting, no Busy Server messages...just raw power. Be able to connect when others can't.

[A Sport or not a Sport]

Neither Sport or Game....a Habit.

[GSMA60 will not show me roads in another state?]

You will probably have to load them into your 60Csx using "MapSource". I replaced my memory chip wit a 1 gig one...but it still won't hold the whole USA.

[Logging etiquette?]

Write whatever you like. Just keep it clean.

[How do I add emoticons to my logs]

I have NO EMOTIONS...is there an Icon for that? Something like a blank stare with fixated pupils?

[Just About Time To Do Maintenance On My Caches...]

Well, it finally hit 40 degrees here in Madison, Wi. The snow is starting to melt some and soon my caches will be accessable once again (Not burried in snow or Frozen into the ground).

 

Got to get ready for the Geocaching Season by replacing pens, damaged log books, clean out junk and make sure the caches are hidden as before.

 

I take some pride in my caches...do you?

[Can I cache with you?]

***QSECOFR***

 

Must be an AS/400 type.

[Anyone have any ideas?]

I once had an Idea...but after a nap, it went away.

[Any Pilots Who Cache?]

***Now if only I could figure out how to Geocache from the air!***

 

Fly low & slow, with auto-pilot on. that leaves your hands free to grab the caches as you go by.

[Denied a cache placement location]

I had one declined on an old unused railroad...they even removed the tracks...so, I moved the cache.

 

Then in a multi-cache...I had one declined because I was 15 feet too close to a railroad...so, I moved the cache.

[Calling all HAMS!]

***Sorry Im a CB' er. And proud of it!***

 

10-4 Good Buddy.

 

I started off as a CBer in the 60's (KOD5398) in New Jersey.

[Any Pilots Who Cache?]

***USAF jet instructor, 300 combat missions...does that count?***

 

Yea...each one of my private pilot students was a combat mission...that never heard of the word "Flare"...unless it was 20 feet above the runway.

[Calling all HAMS!]

73's.....K2EOK
