No more Evince ???

Post by Laighside Legends » 12 April 13 11:26 pm

Evince appears to be down. I have no idea if it's just temporarily or why...

Anyone know more? :-k

Seems to work OK for me. Checked one of my caches that uses Evince and the link worked just fine and verified the coordinates to be correct.

Hopefully it was just a site outage and all is OK now.

Prime is a US reviewer and cacher and he's been having hosting issues lately, so this is probably a symptom of those.

Just as background interest, he was an early reviewer who seemed to be getting through a lot more caches than anyone else. When his superhuman powers were examined, it came down to his programming skills and determination to make better tools rather than work harder on each cache.

Since then, the geocaching.com site has incorporated many of his ideas into the reviewer tools, but he's still acting as an unofficial R&D Dept, coming up with better Greasemonkey scripts and stand-alone programs that are, basically, still essential for efficient reviewing.

If he ever collected all the beers that the reviewer community owes him, he could fill several Olympic swimming pools!
