Cache stats

[+warthog]

While looking at another cacher's profile, I came across a very nifty program that generates your stats for you, based on the GPX file produced by the "My Finds" extract. Have a look at Cache Stats at Logicweave

 

You can also view my profile to see what the end result look like at Warthog's Profile

 

Is anyone else using this?

Tried it some time back. If I can recall it excludes archived caches so the stats become skewed.

Hey that is pretty cool. I might give it a try.

 

"Most consecutive days without a find: 307" Yikes, got lazy there for a bit, eh?

Cooooool. Generated Cache Fan's stats and they are spot on, number of caches, milestone dates etc. Caches found but disabled or archived by owners are included in the stats, only work is to select the "Favorites" and "FTF". Unfortunately we did not keep record on the later one as we are not FTF hunters, so work is required if you like this to be included. Stats on TB's and GC's are unfortunately not included, maybe enhancement request?

Does anyone have fancy software to keep a tab on the TBS they have found, they are watching etc, apart from the watchlists one can setup in Geocaching?

 

On the CacheStats:

FTFs are included automatically, however I think it looks for the words FTF in your log and then include it in the list. I was out by 4 FTFs, but all four were without the FTF in the log.

 

Not 100% sure if this is the cause, but will have to wait a week before I can test this again.

Quite right cache-fan. I was convinced when I tried it last that these fell off the bus. Tried it again though and all worked out nicely. FTF's weren't quite right as I didn't always state FTF in my logs.

 

Sjoe, 2003 was a dire year. That's when I returned to SA and there were no caches in GP. This resulted in a drought of 119 days without caching never quite got rid of that twitch

. My worst was 307 days, nowadays if it is anything between 3 and 7, then I get withdrawal systems, so must be out on the road again this afternoon. Oh yes, at 2006 rate, I will only get to the "magic" GR count of 500 in 2009

And I'll reach 15000 in 2055

 

Was chatting to the creator of the program and there's another neat little feature for the puritans amongst us.

 

If your Total Found and Caches don't equal each other then you may have accidentally logged a cache more than once. These will be easy to find in the next release of the program, but to find them now you can go into Favorites and look at each cache in the list - those with multiple finds will have a note after the cache name that looks like this: (** 2 logs **). Nice easy way to check.

Found it last weekend and based my profiles' stats on this tool.

New version out, Forum

Warthog, many thanks for the Tip Off.

What a great program.

I spent a good hour playing around and reminiscing over the caches we have found.

 

Now to find 1.7 caches a day before 31/12/06...........

[+warthog]

Thanks GR for the new version note!
