Calendar / reminder service (now live)
Posted: 01 January 13 11:36 pm
Over the Christmas break we have been developing a new calendar / reminder service.
The first cab off the rank will be a "Find a Cache on Each Day of the Year" reminder. If (when it goes live) you select this reminder, you will get an email on any day you have yet to find a geocache. This will help remind you that you haven't yet found a geocache on that day, so you should go and find one to help you complete your 366 calendar days geocaching target.
If you have only a few days left, it's tricky to remember which ones you still need to do, so Geocaching Australia will help you by sending an email either to your default email address OR a selected email address for that reminder.
If you have hundreds of days left, you'll get a reminder, but that maybe a little pointless if you get them for every day of the year
Our reminders will only be as good as the data we have, so there may be the occasional reminder for a day you have already found a cache, but Geocaching Australia doesn't have the log.
At the moment, this is only open to Beta Testers and admins. I'm waiting for the 15th of January which is my first "unfound" day and if that works, I'll let it loose for everyone.
Other reminder services can be added as needed / though of / desired by the community.
Enjoy.
PS. If you have no idea what I'm talking about. It's this thing.

To set this reminder service, go to your setting page (from the tabs, hover over My then click Settings).
Look for Calendar Reminders
Click on Set your calendar reminders
Tick the appropriate box.
Set an email address if you would like it sent to an email address other than your default address. If you leave the email address blank it will use your default email address.
Wait with anticipation.
