July Statistics

[holograph]

I downloaded all the datasheets that were updated in July, and found no new GEOCAC recovery reports. It looks like the NGS has a backlog. I'll get around to posting the Geocaching.com statistics this weekend.

Don't even THINK of retiring. They'll get to the uploads, eventually. The way the month ended on Saturday was a little awkward. It's possible they will do the uploads tomorrow (Friday).

I can run over there and knock on their door to remind them, if it'd help.

 

(I don't think it would, tho.)

That's two months in a row with no reports, yes?

Yep, the last month that had a lot of updates was May (the statistics I posted at the beginning of June).

Summer must be their busiest time.

Summer must be their busiest time.

 

I know around here, we have to juggle vacation times during the summer, so we are usually short-handed (which makes everyone else have to work harder).

It must have been that dolphin trying to color in counties in Georgia and Florida. Blew someones mind? I apologize, and shall try to control my benchmarking efforts...

Hi Paul,

 

Please put the word out that the recovery LOADING program has been out of service for the last 9 weeks. NOT the submittal program, the one I use to get the recoveries onto the datasheets. The issue was resolved on Wednesday and I tested the program with success yesterday. Starting today I'm going to be loading the now huge backlog and hopefully it'll work without any further need for adjustments.

 

Please tell everyone I didn't forget them and "Thank you" for their patience.

That's good news, Paul. I guess we can look forward to a big jump in the numbers at the end of August.

I think you're right, Jim. Or, to put it another way, you'll have time for a 2nd cup of coffee during the next download....and maybe a third.
