Re: Extreme Geocaching

This topic came up some time ago and I went through all the active caches and tagged the ones which were 5 star D or T with an "extreme" tag and made a public query for both.

Re: Spam ... or an Oz cacher in distress?

I got the same message this morning and messaged her on Facebook to say it looked like her email account had been hijacked.
As caughtatwork said, it's a scam. Anyone that replies will most likely be given western union account details to transfer funds to.

Re: www.nearmap.com

Perhaps coverage in rural areas wont be that great. Just checked a trig behind Jamberoo near Kiama which is in the nearmaps coverage area. Lacks clarity when compared to a trig I selected in Caringbah (Sydney). Probably only designed for large built up areas. Coverage depends on where customers hav...

Re: "Computer support" phone scam

I have been able to avoid these type of calls by not having a land line! Unlisted mobile number probably helps too. LOL. Having previously worked in banking I am quite aware of various phishing scams and methods people use for identity theft. Many times I have told people that they were being target...

A "new" member posts their first post and you notice they have joined the site several years ago and have just been lurking!
Oh, and I suppose posting to the forum on your phone during a couple of minutes break during work hours is up there too. :oops:

Re: opencaching.com GPX file import

Have I mentioned that I cannot use my GC/GCA caching name on OX? .. they insist on a minimum of 6 characters .. arghhhhh!!!! No wonder I had a quick play and quickly decided it was not worth it! HGL!

Re: phone

Now I've got a work iPhone, I am looking at getting my cache notifications sent to one of my "spare" email accounts I have such as gmail.
