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.
Jshults is the guy who let me discover new scripts that makes geocaching much easier. In an earlier blog, I mentioned that he tweeted about the GC Tour script (which I use frequently now). Now he tweets about the Advanced Nuvi Macro.
Here might be something nice and useful for those of you using Firefox for visiting the geocaching.com and want to see their geocaching management a bit less tedious.
It’s official: a Palm Z22 sucks when it comes to complete paperless caching. It’s ok for what cachemate covers, but when it comes to paperless spoilers, it’s pretty useless. I was doing the “De andere Bron” GCK1HD multicache and everything went smoothly on this nice walk. That was until it was time to discover the stash itself. I had a bit of deviation in the wood and thus I needed to rely on the spoiler. As you can see below, there a lot of trees on the picture. Read more…
It’s official: spoilers on a Z22 sucks. It might work for small pics without much details, but larger photos where details matter are useless on this device. The result is that I was yesterday at the final stage of this beautiful multi and I stood there completely clueless. The wood made the pointer showing everywhere and all I remembered from the spoiler on line was that it was near a tree. But in a wood… I have to try my luck a next time. Read more…
It has been a week full of pottering around. As mentioned in a previous blog, I started with paperless caching. I finally got used of this (somewhat tedious, compared to simply printing out stuff) way of working, so I though it would be time to do put the spoiler pics on my Z22 too.
