+Andy33 Posted November 25, 2007 Posted November 25, 2007 Excellent work have really missed the site. A big thank you for all your work Quote
Deceangi Posted November 25, 2007 Posted November 25, 2007 Thanks Ian for for putting in the time and effort, it is much appreciated by the whole of the UK community Quote
+caldini Posted November 25, 2007 Posted November 25, 2007 Smashing - my first glimpse of the site. Funny that at the time of writing geocaching.com is down. Quote
+Teasel Posted November 25, 2007 Posted November 25, 2007 It seems very up to date. Many of our finds from only a couple of days ago are there. Only 169 to rate . The data itself should be fairly up to date, as the pocket queries have all been piling up on the mail server. A few hours' processing last night and we'd caught up. The problem is that G:UK relies on being able to read the geocaching.com cache page of every new cache, to see whether it's a premium members' cache or not (surprisingly, this information isn't in the GPX file). Currently there are 315 new caches which are in the database, but until I know that they're not pay-to-play caches, they're hidden from view. At some point, I'll set up some PQs to provide me with a list of all members-only caches. Then, if i) a new cache doesn't appear on that list and ii) the list is more recent than the cache and iii) none of the PQs providing the list were full and iv) a whole lot more conditions I haven't thought of yet(!), I can probably add new caches without having to scrape GC.com at all (which would be nice for everyone!).
