Jeremy Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Most of you may have noticed, but we often abuse computer terms in geocaching. Cache, Benchmark and Bug are all computer terms. So lets take this idea further. Come up with some images that represent a computer term but make it something you do outside. I came up with this idea when I saw this photo that is called "logging in" - see what you can come up with Quote Link to comment

+CYBret Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 When I saw the topic I couldn't help but think of the ol, If Dr. Seuss was a technical writer poem that has circulated for years. It seems to me we have packets, pockets and even the occasional port in our game. I've heard a few geocachers who were also cursors, especially when they're making a dash. After one "Ham n' Beans Nite" event cache I attended, we were all suffering from bad gauss. Bret Quote Link to comment

+tabulator32 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 (edited) When one of us logs a TB, there would be a pull down menu on the TB log screen with options to indicate whether it had a new or original design dog tag. If we selected "original", the system would send an e-mail to the TB originator with a link to "click here to check for an updated version of Travel Bug". On second thought, that might not be too popular an idea. Edited June 1, 2005 by tabulator32 Quote Link to comment

+clearpath Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 You could have good or bad 'cache memory'. Every computer should have plenty of 'storage' (cache container) and sometimes in order to find a cache we must have a 'hard drive' in order to reach the cache site. Quote Link to comment
