+Lassitude Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 For those of you who have not seen my screensavers a quick explanation: Periodically I collect photographs from fellow Geocachers and compile them into a Windows screensaver. This will be the fourth release of 'Hidden Treasure'. I do not charge any money for the screensaver and will even post it free of charge to contributors. Otherwise I will place it in caches as a swap with the expectation that the CDs will be moved on to another cache once the screensaver has been loaded. Here's what I'm looking for: - UK and Ireland caches only - Just views- no Pics of caching teams (although that may be the theme of a later screensaver) - Photos taken from April 04 onwards - Please label the images with <Cache waypoint><space><Cache Name>. for example 'GC1234 A Climb up a hill.jpg' - Please do not reduce the photos quality. I have broadband so I am happy to receive large files If you are a contributor I will be happy send you the end product by Email or post you a CD-ROM. If you want a CD-ROM I will need your Name and Address. Otherwise I will provide a download URL. thanks Chris Quote Link to comment

+The Hokesters Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Perhaps you could make the finished product available through one or more of the UK Geocaching sites such as Geocachingtoday.com or GCUK? The Hokesters... P.S. I have a few photos but I think they will be too low res to be of value. Let me know if you are struggling for images! Quote Link to comment
+MarcB Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Currently it has been arranged to be availible for download through my website but I'm now not sure if I have enough space. Also, for some random reason, many people have problems accessing it. MarcB Quote Link to comment
Browser Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Some pix on the way Regards Browser Quote Link to comment
+Fangsy Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Do you want the label actualy -on- the photo image, or clearly marked alongside the photo in the email? I can do either pretty well, was just wondering if the program that makes the screensaver sticks the labels on top itself. I found one of your savers last year in a cache I like just sitting and watching them sometimes Quote Link to comment
+MarcB Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 The details of the cache and GC number should be part of the filename. MarcB Quote Link to comment

+harold1066 Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 I`ve not to many pics from caching but I`ve send one over. Geo Quote Link to comment
+Lassitude Posted August 2, 2004 Author Share Posted August 2, 2004 I've collated the photos and I am creating a waypoint file for all the caches that are included. This has proved a little time consuming but it is great to see where the included caches actually are (were in some cases unfortunately). I have some gaps in the maps however: -I have no photos for North Wales -I have no photos for Northern Ireland -I have no photos for Leeds all the way North to Dumfries is empty, -I have no photos for Norfolk too. -The Highlands are also looking pretty sparce. There is some great scenery here! I an also lacking in Urban shots near caches too so if anybody has some good pic s they would really be appreciated. So far I have photos of 81 caches. I will produce the Cd when I get to 100. I have all the addresses of to contributors who have supplied them so they will recieve CDs as soon as I am done. Feel free to duplicate and use as cache gifts. Many thanks. Chris Quote Link to comment
+MarcB Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 I might have a few more I can dig up... I'll email them you shortly. I can't host the screensaver btw Don't have enough space. MarcB Quote Link to comment

Leoness Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 The address from earlier in the topic Oops! I must be going prematurely blind as well as senile!!! Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+Lassitude Posted August 4, 2004 Author Share Posted August 4, 2004 ***I have enough pics now! Many thanks for the contributions*** There are some really excellent photos from all over England, Scotland, Wales and Cornwall. It will be a large install though- I estimate over 100Mb of pics -about 150 pics in all!!! Sorry I cannot reply individually to to Emails with contributions (I've alway wanted to say that!). I recon it will be two weeks or so before the Screensaver is ready (I am on holiday in N. Yorks National Park next week so I will complete it when I return). All contributors who have provided pics will get a CD in the post after I have re-mortgaged my house I am a little concerned about making sure plenty of copies are available in the North so if I cannot host the file I will post it to a number of volunteers spread accross the North who have CD Burners so they can duplicate it and use it as a swap. thanks Chris Quote Link to comment
+Cave Troll and Eeyore Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 One volunteer here Let me know when you want our home address. Quote Link to comment

+DomHeknows Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 I should be able to host the file depending on demand - i've got the diskspace and should have the bandwidth too but I am on a (generous) limited amount of 35GB/month so should not have a problem but do reserve the right to pause downloads if necessary Quote Link to comment
