The second week of Easter holiday, we’re all at home, far away from work and school. This could lead to some caching extravaganza, but it isn’t.
We have a tradition going on. With the Easter Holidays we – that’s the family and some friends with kids having the same age as ours – visit an amusement park and in autumn we go to a bungalow park. So we went last WE to Movie Park in Germany.
The geoaching WE started off on Friday. We have a yearly tradition to celebrate spring with some company veterans.
Today I had to go to Antwerp for a photo shoot. For those who don’t know me that long: besides computing as a profession, I used to do things in media like film, TV, commercials and ads.

This week of school holiday isn’t as calm on the geocaching front as I expected. I dropped the son at a playfellow yesterday. It was a bit strange though. Normally, he doesn’t enjoy shopping at all and disappears towards the comics corner and I have always to search for him when I’ve finished shopping. Yesterday, his friend asked him if he would join a ‘trip’ to a well know Swedish furniture store. My son seems to have enjoyed it as well.
I went yesterday to Antwerp in order to do some shopping for all my GPS gear. My car navigation unit had some troubles after an update to the Navteq Q4/2008 maps.

Contacting Navigon didn’t reveal much, which seems to be common for this manufacturer. Read more…
Or better said, I’m as blind as a mole as we tend to say in Flanders. You will understand in the next paragraph what I’m talking about. Read more…
Yesterday I dropped my kids at a birthday party nearby a cache. Needless to say that there isn’t a better way spending the 3 hours I had than attacking “DIEST – de andere kant” GC1FQG8, which is a multi cache. The only spoiler was the weather. Such drizzle always makes me very wet and in this case also the stage description and the paper where I needed to do my calculations on. My cheat sheet with all type of conversion code was luckily wrapped in plastic. I needed it a lot this time for the typical alphabet to digit conversions. Read more…
