Blodlizrd Posted October 14, 2002 Posted October 14, 2002 I found this cool site while reading some of the posts on the message boards. If you haven't seen it, check your rank acording to city, state, country, or world! It gave me a new reason to go out caching... to get a better rank. Here is the site for the Memphis area, but you can easily navigate the site to change it. http://www.insidecorner.com/geocaching/stats/cities.cgi?city=Memphis P.S.: Feel free to use this board for trash talking too!

+bitbrain Posted October 14, 2002 Posted October 14, 2002 So you'll be using this as a way to stay ahead of SoupNazi & DeadPollyParrott, now? - "This river dont go to Aintry. You done taken a wrong turn." - Quote
Blodlizrd Posted October 14, 2002 Author Posted October 14, 2002 Yeah... That is one of my goals. If only I wasn't on a budget I would be able to buy my own GPS instead of borrowing Soup's. After I catch up with Soup... I will be coming after the current #3. hehehehe Quote
+Geologygirl Posted October 14, 2002 Posted October 14, 2002 Dang... Just when I had laid out my plans to get into the top 50 in atleast 3 states by the end of 2002 - For CT that just 15 and RI just 7 finds, that should take just about take-up Thanksgiving break But now I got to worry about staying in the top 5 for RDU..... I may have to stop sleeping so that I can keep up my professional ranking If it weren't for geology, you'd have nothing to stand on. Quote
Blodlizrd Posted October 15, 2002 Author Posted October 15, 2002 I just checked the ranking and it looks like Soup is tied with Jamie Z for 5th in the Memphis Area. That's crazy. I thought he was sneaking up on Chuckie, but there is still a 15 cache difference between them. No soup for you, Soup!!! Quote
Salvo Posted October 15, 2002 Posted October 15, 2002 I noted a number of discrepancies that the insidecorner website hadn't picked up. You'll need to verify by selecting the list logs, and compare it with the geocaching log list. insidecorner has an update utility to bring his system inline w/ geocaching.com. One problem that I noted though is that insidcorner doesn't follow strictly the same rules as within 100 mile radius as geocaching.com does. Hence some of the far off caches like our local Memphis -> LPS005 and BOOTY BOX that are just in the 100 mile limit, are excluded. Quote
+bitbrain Posted October 15, 2002 Posted October 15, 2002 The numbers don't mean much to me. I like being on the first page, of course, but I think the best thing about the stats page is that it lets you see who's active in the area. I wish I'd seen it before we planned the WTG Picnic in June. Some of the features of the site would have made our planning easier. As for my numbers, I think I'll try to cache in bursts that leave my ratio of hidden:found a prime number. - "This river dont go to Aintry. You done taken a wrong turn." - Quote
+bitbrain Posted October 15, 2002 Posted October 15, 2002 Look! I'm tied with Salvo for number of Posts now! w00t! - "This river dont go to Aintry. You done taken a wrong turn." - Quote

+pater47 Posted October 15, 2002 Posted October 15, 2002 ...I just took my Mississippi lead back from JamieZ. Looks like soon though Jamie and I will have to team up for Leather/Mojesic Quest. Visit the Mississippi Geocaching Forum at http://pub98.ezboard.com/bgeocachingms Quote
Salvo Posted October 16, 2002 Posted October 16, 2002 WooT? Anything to get my goat, eh BitBrain? Chuckling on my end here ( ). I typically only post on the forums' if I have to stand upon principle, a question to ask, or occasionally if I have a dead horse to beat. I'd rather though be out there hunting or placing caches. (More walk, than talk ) Besides, We seemingly have a young (newer) group of firebrand cachers that are really burning up the trails hunting caches. I myself have given some serious thought to stealing away the "Mississippi Mud Crown of Master Cache Finding" (Great name, eh? ) away from JamieZ and Pater47 -If I'm laidoff. With the IT job market being as it is, what else will I have to do until the budgets are approved for the next fiscal year! Quote
+pater47 Posted October 16, 2002 Posted October 16, 2002 quote:Originally posted by Jamie Z:...not for long, Pater. Jamie Looks like JamieZ did a little "stealth caching" down here last weekend. I just got a log watch notification on Tupelo Gum Slough. Why do I think this ain't the only one he did while here?

+Jamie Z Posted October 16, 2002 Posted October 16, 2002 Pater... I was only able to hit three. I had plans for an additional 3 or 4, but I got a really late start out of New Orleans, and I had to be back here for class in the morning. Anyway, I put this chart together, which shows the trend among the four top finders/hiders in MS. My numbers didn't quite match Dan's stat page, but they were close: Looks like Mojesic is on a rampage. Jamie Quote
Blodlizrd Posted October 16, 2002 Author Posted October 16, 2002 Jamie Z's chart inspired me to make a little chart of my own. hehehehe J/J/J (Just Jokin', Jamie) [This message was edited by Blodlizrd on October 16, 2002 at 01:48 PM.] Quote
+Jamie Z Posted October 16, 2002 Posted October 16, 2002 quote:Originally posted by Blodlizrd:...chart of my own. I see SoupNazi passed me up briefly at around five. That musta been when I went out on that date with a girl. Jamie Oh yeah, my chart will already have to be updated, I've just gotten some log notifications from Leatherneck. Quote
Blodlizrd Posted October 18, 2002 Author Posted October 18, 2002 There are only 60 active caches in the Memphis area based on the info I got off of the ranking site. If Salvo has 65 ... then as long as he doesn't quit geocaching, he will have a firm grasp on the 1 spot. I guess I will just try for the top 5. Unless some of the earlier cachers jump up a log a bunch. Quote
+cachercarry Posted October 20, 2002 Posted October 20, 2002 Well guys, I guess I need to figure out how to get the time to start chasing the leaders. If my customers will quit breaking stuff on the weekends, I might get time to at least make a respectable showing. I haven't seen a green ammo box in several weeks now and my palms are starting to get hairy I need to cache more and sleep less. Slave to the almighty dollar Cachercarry Be verry verry quiet we're hunting caches Quote
Blodlizrd Posted October 22, 2002 Author Posted October 22, 2002 Since we're being Graph-Happy... here is another one. This is the progression of the top 5 in Memphis ranging from 7/4/02 (when I started geocaching) to 10/21/02. Quote
Salvo Posted October 29, 2002 Posted October 29, 2002 I like your avatar Blodlizrd, which series did that come from? Blod, I won't be giving up on the Memphis caches for quite some time to come. I've got my sites set firmly on hitting 1K caches by 6/1/2003. So you can see that I'll be hitting everything within a 6hr drive radius around me. (Check my goals on my profile page!) Cachercarry, I'd often felt like that too as I used to work in the service/maintenance electronics industry. I miss it, but I like my weekends too! Hang in there buddy! Quote

+Jamie Z Posted October 29, 2002 Posted October 29, 2002 Blodlizrd, Let's see the Geek leaders now! Jamie Quote
Blodlizrd Posted October 30, 2002 Author Posted October 30, 2002 Hey, Salvo. The series my avatar is from is Love Hina. It's pretty cool... the anime is good but I like the manga better. Quote
bteague2 Posted December 1, 2002 Posted December 1, 2002 wat did u use to make the charts excel? Quote

Blodlizrd Posted June 10, 2003 Author Posted June 10, 2003 Rise from the dead, O' thread of yesteryore. Ok... that was kind of a dumb way to bump this, but a lot has changed since I originally posted this. Not in the least being my avatar which is now from a series called Azumanga Daigo. Salvo used to be top dog... now it looks like MD is holding on to the top spot. Very intresting. My skills are ferior! Quote
+IndyTycoon Posted June 11, 2003 Posted June 11, 2003 That's neat, but my rank is wrong. It shows I only found 15... I've found 20. still small number....what am I doing reading these forums, I need to go get some more geocaches! Quote
Blodlizrd Posted June 11, 2003 Author Posted June 11, 2003 The way the site has been gathering the info from Geocaching.com has been a little janky since GC.com changed the format of the way the logs update. Now it looks like it only updates after someone else goes to the cache. I looked and yours was at 19 finds... "The Loop" was the only one not registering. I fixed it for you though. My skills are ferior! Quote
+CWL Posted June 12, 2003 Posted June 12, 2003 I was on top for a couple of days awhile back. Then MD got the best of me when I finnaly got a job. I havn't looked at the stats in a while. Mainly cause the firewall blocks the site here at work, and I forget to check when I'm at home. I'm usually more intrested in the first finds by the time I'm at home. This dang firewall drives me nuts. I've tired to connect to my computer at home so I could browse the internet at home. But not able to get though the firewall. If anyone got an idea I'd greatly appreciate it! Quote
Blodlizrd Posted June 12, 2003 Author Posted June 12, 2003 Chucky, are you using PC Anywhere to connect to your computer at home or something else? My skills are ferior! Quote
+bitbrain Posted June 12, 2003 Posted June 12, 2003 quote:Originally posted by Blodlizrd:Chucky, are you using PC Anywhere to connect to your computer at home or something else? ...and what's the IP address for your home PC? Is the admin password still *******? Quote
+IndyTycoon Posted June 12, 2003 Posted June 12, 2003 stop guessing the hard passwords it obviously "password" Quote
+CWL Posted June 12, 2003 Posted June 12, 2003 Well I think you got the PW right but I'm not useing PC anywhere. I havn't tried that one yet. I've been tring Remote Admin. Thats what I use here at work. If you got a copy of PC anywhere I'd like to try that one too. Also I'm using DSL so the IP changes everytime I logon. Quote
Blodlizrd Posted June 24, 2003 Author Posted June 24, 2003 I don't have a copy of PCAnywhere, sorry Chuckers. As for the dynamic IP... I saw a cool thing on TechTV the other day that you can set up to e-mail you everytime your IP changes. But if someone intercepts your e-mail and gets your IP addy... well, I'm sure you know what that means. I really wish I could remember the name of the software though... doh! My skills are ferior!

Clan-[CWT] Posted July 5, 2003 Posted July 5, 2003 i found this page once made a short cut then deleted it by stupid accident. found and did not make a short cut thanks quote:It's my therapy that is keeping you alive. Now give me back my meds. Quote
