    Saving (dowloading) A Tb Image Gallery

    in Trackables

    Posted

    Is there a way to download an entire TB gallery. My TB has completed it's mission and there are many pictures of the places it has visited. I would like to download all the uploaded pictures and place them on a CD for keeping. I also plan to have a dedicated TB link off my website with all the pictures. I would rather not go through and save one picture at a time .

    El Diablo,

     

    Sorry to see you retire from selling your geo-hiking staffs. It's too bad that others will not have a chance to own one of your very exquisite staffs. Team Oreo Cookies definitely enjoys our staffs. I can tell that each one is made with a piece of yourself in it. Your description of your workshop in the winter time sounds so peacefull. Enjoy your retirement.

     

    Cache On!!

    'where's In A Name' Cache

    in West and Southwest

    Posted · Edited by doublestuff

    I am a cacher in Massachusetts looking for a partner for What's in a name cache (GC3153) by Crusso

     

    http://Where's in a name cache

     

    My coordinates are N36°41.53x’

     

    I figure an area of interest in Fresno or Salinas in CA along the above latitude. But the latitude crosses through southern Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri,Tennessee/Kentucky border, Virginia. Use your imagination and get a picture of yourself and GPSr and the most interesting thing you can find at the longtitude of your choosing along this latitude.

     

    Thanks

    Mobipocket Handspring Fatal Error

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    Can seem to figure this out I have a:

    Handspring Visor (8Mb)

    Mobipocket 4.6

    prc file from a pocket query

     

    I can successfull load the "ebook" the my handspring. It comes up but thats all I can do. If I start the scroll or if I press the up or down buttons I get a fatal error "exception error" and I need to reset my palm.

     

    Does anyone know why I am getting these fatal errors?

    Releasing travel bugs

    in Trackables

    Posted

    I have a few TBs and a cache. In order to track the distance travelled by my TBs starting from my home cache, I would like to first release it to my cache(to log a starting point), then immediately retrieve it so I can place them in caches as I go.

     

    Would this be ok?

    Proposed Tag Change - Plastic?

    in Trackables

    Unfortunately once I read that

    quote:
    They will be based on key fob designs you get at PetCo and other places. Size is configurable. We propose to create 3 tags connected so you can snap them apart.
    I will have to say no. It would be different if the tags were hard plastic like the kinds you see as zipper pulls or state license plate key chains, the ones that are engraved. I would be for something like that.

I even sent them sample chips & all my company contact info in case they wanted to offer them through the online store. I never got any response but didn't want to chance any problems with "The Powers That Be" so I never had any new chips reissued

     

    I too seeked permission for logo usage under the non profit clause. I provided them with the jpeg of your chip that was posted on the pokerchips.com site. I Figured since it they approved your chips, mine would be approved instantly. However, to my surprise the said no to the use of the round logo. No modification at all are permitted. So I asked for them to provide me with a logo that I could use and they sent me what is now on the chip. I would have personnally liked the round logo it looks much better on a chip/coin.

    can you tell us how many you had made and what the total cost was?

     

    They are .85 a piece or 85/100 chips with a minimum initial order of 300 chips. Aprox $255 plus shipping. They have a grapohic artis on staff to help with the design.

    Crusso, had gotten a bunch of people together to place an order, MissJenn was part of that order. I don't know if each person could have their own design on one side of the chip on just one order. You may want to check with Anne @ pokerchips.com to see ehat they can do.

    Majick Man: I got these from www.pokerchips.com. Cathy, Anne, Melanie and Wendy were very professional and helpful with my order.

     

    Miss Jenn: We are MassCachers and will be depositing these in caches around New England. Of course when we vaction in other parts of the country.

    As a point of reference I started this quest sometime in Feb 03.

    I thought the chips you guys order where way too cool and I wanted a few for my self. I posted a note on the original message thread (the one where crusso generously offered to put together an order) asking if there was anyway I could get in if another order was to be placed or if there were anymore available. No response...

    Since I didn't hear back from anyone on the above thread, I decided to do this on my own. There is a lot of discussion on the boards with regards to the logo and copyrights. I figured that the "crusso" chip was already approved for his original order. If I needed to have chips made for me I would need approval for myself. What the heck? It should be easy to get approval since someone already these chips in circulation and must have been approved already. I had made up my mind that I would use a modified "gustaf variant" logo on one side, but I had nothing on the other side.

    I submitted a request to Groundspeak for approval to use the geocaching logo on the reverse side of my chip. I attached the geocaching logo chip graphic as found on the poker chip site. The reply I received from Groundspeak that I would not be able icon_frown.gif to use the logo because of the rounded appearance; the "gecocaching" logo could not be modified in any way. I asked the folks then at Groundspeak if they could provide a logo I could use on my chips, they sent me the square one icon_smile.gif. All they wanted to see was the final "artwork" before I went to production. This is my story. My chips should be coming in this week or next, I can't wait. Now on to finder’s buttons for my cache(s)!!!

    Those chips where created for Crusso. Unfortunately, these cannot be used anymore. (Groundspeak logo violation) I tried. I did hear on other forums that someone was able to order additional chips. As for myself I went through the approval process with Groundspeak and was able to get logo approval (square logo) not round as own the web site.
