Suggestion for Cachers Graphs.

As often happens I've found myself poking around graphs under the 'Cachers' tab on the GCA homepage. All sorts of fun and interesting charts there. I was wondering though, if it'd be possible/worth making a graph that displays top cachers by cache types found in a day and maybe a second that ranks t...

Re: Needs Archive on GCA

On GC if a cache receives a Needs Archive log, Ministro is all over it with the 30 day warning before it goes the way of the Dodo. (Thank-you Ministro, love your work). On GCA, as there are no reviewers, if a cache receives a Needs Archive and the owner hasn't been active for quite some time (as te...

Re: A motto to follow when placing caches

We have this on the start of a GCA cache listing: Is this cache one you would do or would be proud to show others? Will others want to seek this cache? That's what I work towards. Ironically the cache of mine I am least proud of is also my most found one..... I have found the same. There is a defin...

Re: Importing Updated Logs.

Don't delete anything yet. Send me your GPX file. ptaurins@bigpond.net.au I'd like to see why it's not doing what it should be doing. Oops, sorry. I missed your reply before I deleted away. When I did it imported the old, incorrect log and the new correct log date. I deleted the old logs on GCA and...

Re: Importing Updated Logs.

I ran the query after I made the changes, hence I couldn't work out why the dates didn't change when I uploaded. It looks like deleting the logs on GCA then uploading a new my finds query should iron out the kinks for me.

Importing Updated Logs.

On the weekend I broke my record for most caches in a day. However, it took me three days to log finds and as a result ended up logging about half of them under the wrong date. On GCA, it has done the unthinkable and thrown my stats out. I went to GC.com and updated the logs to the correct date. I r...

Re: Caching in our Schools

I voted no. I think that there are an awful lot of caches around the area, so quality has and will become more and more important than quantity. Part of hiding a cache is maintenance. You hid it, you look after it. When I hide a cache I hide it for the community. As for the point raised about this b...

Re: The longest GCA power trail in Australia (idea)

Just another thought. This cache page explains it and the map is rather impressive. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GC2TFGR Hmm... A giant sketch of caughtatwork's mug across the desert? (Assuming he's our equivalent of Signal) Yowzer... Either that or a giant gnome. I would lo...

Ooh, I've always wondered how to do an image steganograph. Not so easy without something like photoshop.

There must be lots more.
The pilot's amongst us will know of the ERSA (En Route Supplement Australia) which lists all registered aerodromes in the country.

Exactly what I was thinking. Perhaps even following the National Highways.

Re: State borders on the plots

Oh, those plots :-) To put a borders on the map, I would need to draw them on the base map. That's not impossible, but may be beyond my drawing skills :D If anyone else has that level of skill, please have a go and let me know where I can get the file. Community effort helps caughtatwork not go ins...
