Hey Gang.. apologies for being absent for so long. After my laptop screen cracked, Wardriving has been set on back burner. I have been focusing on my astro.logy , started a website, been tweeting like mad and trying to continue to drum up business for my astrology works. Had to got through another m...

Hey Guys I have been 'hibernating, through the winter. I have been reborn as an ASTROLOGER to the STARS on Twitter I have had to stop stumbling about for the time being. you know me, chasing signal through the ETHER on every level of the meaning. Http://mysticvirgo67.blog.com I still have my rig. IS...

lol, Nothing wring with sliding sideways in snow, just so ya don't smack into anything

Kentucky winters are a pain in the ass! Too cold to cache, not enough snow to play in ARGH!

I googled a girlfriend once.. Got smacked!

I think I had dloaded the version with column sort late half november, early deceber.. I think. Better than nothing, I suppose. Wish we could have gotten feedback. I am begging hard for my ky geocacher freinds to test it out for us as well... www.geocky.org Haven't heard back yet. So hard to promote...

Happy New Year to my friends, colaborators and <ahem> co-consipirators at Vistumbler!

hits other than myself for mysticache? Haven't heard back from any freeware or geocaching sites yet about posting mysticache on them...

yeah, andy, i need to find out about becoming HP/Compaq cert.

Woo hoo! I gonts me a power brick for xmas! Found one for $31 hipping and all! I think I know what had been doing the others in. so now I am on project to reinforce the cord.

Merry Christmas to all!

much, the tip to my laptop's power brick suffered wire fatigue and I have not been able to use it. I am stuck having to bounce about between my son's computer AND my wife's computer. ARGH! Frustrations! I found a replacement powerbrick online for just $30!! WOOT! won't be here until perhaps middle o...

kewl!!!

LOLO don't make me break out the latex whip LOL

Any luck on colmn sorting, Andrew??

Had a pretty good thanksgiving.. Wife has had the surgery she needs, I got a complimintary turkey dinner from the hospital, then my Mom brought me more thanksgiving dinner later. I think I am good without food for the next week!

well, she still in hospital. want to make certain that she is good to go.

Makes three of us lOL

My wife had her hiatal hernia surgery about an ago.. She is doing well.. sore as hell and tired, of course

lol....i have my copy of spore up for sale..'sniff' need money more than the game..

title says it all

well, I decided that the whole statistical mode finding thing is just too hard for AutoIT ATM. Gonna backburnner it for version 4 LOL

YEah generate 2 string arrays one lat one long, strip the decimals, sort the list ascending... this is where I get stuck.. havent figgured how to compare the values to determine which values occur most often in the list. Umkm how are you at translating C? I found some C based algorithms to determine...

Ummm if I can find a decent algorithm, perhaps we could code this into the app? would help damp the CEP fluctuations. From what I gathered, one collects..an odd number of data pointsand using the most common value. I think this can work with either numerically or as a $tring function...

I know they are... but cachers are good at mentally tossing out the "exceptional" fixes.. Taking the "mode" of the data..

lemme think on this ... I know the standard HELP, tutorial, ect... again lemme dwell a bit.

Had to tell the outline of the dcircle on the first, so I vote the second.

well, had a somewhat disappointing day of geocaching. Mysticache is still a bit cumbersome to use. The compass especially so. The two bearing lines are nice but most GPSr's just use the direction to the cache. Cachers are used to having cache bearing relative to forward, not north. Having to also wa...

Ummm how does the current logo scale down to browser icon scale?

Yep Like the logo alot, as I had said... I still like My tagline suggestion "Finds Them All" . Geocachers do indeed want to find them all. We know we can't but we still have the urge.

Nah nlothing wrong with the fonts ..standarad defaults.. Suppose could be that we are running different screen resolutions.. I stay 1024 ..best compromise for a 15 nch screen

*sits back in bemusement*

External link is working fine

Okay Andrew, here is a better overview image. Had to zip it. Png format

Umm I am about halfway through with the screencaps.. took a nap and the helped boys hide n seek eachother... I think I will finish that tommorrow... What file format you prefer for your webpages? I am exporting from Gimp to JPG as default

Yea, it is difficult to tell the orange from the yellow... maybe place the orange and yellow quadrants diagonal across from eachother?

Oh! That works! Umm can you thicken the borgers of the quadrent squares and maybe go with darker shades of color? Just doesn't "POP"

I can always go bac to that log generator site and try a few more.. ummm.. I think the lettering is a bit large, though. I could erase them and go something smaller pitch

well looks good other than the "x-man" is tm'd and copyrighted by Groundspeak, the parent of Geocaching.com I kinda like this one Has the 4 colors and emulates the ranging circles in the compass

############################# EDIT BY ACALCUTT ############################# This is a thread for all icon suggestions. I have moved all our current suggestions into this thread. ########################################################################### Been using GIMP to process screenshots today....

Umm give me outline and I can work on it. I will need SOMETHING to do while wife is in recovery. Ill start the screencaps today

Ran MC a bit this morning... Everything is working it seems. Ummm I think we can go ahead and post it to sourceforge and link through other projects for now. I will see about spreading word to distribute. Ummm I Will also see what I can do to come up with a logo for it. The normal colorscheme for ge...

lol....Doncha just HATE that !

will try field tests next week...

kewl andrew, thank you..

oh btw looks like 6 of those oil tanks had burned

Andrew is correct... The more sats, the more accurate the fix.. this goes for all GPSr's... The first image you sent, apparantly you had enough of a signal/sat loss that you had one set of coords zero out at position N00.0000 and E000.0000 .

And I would havet to have us have to use Captuas (sp???) to post LOL
BTW Phil, Those words are what my wife told her ex the night she left him. He didn't listen. She clipped his knee with her fender.. broke his kneecap. I wonder why she didn't throw it in reverse and finish the job LOL

No no not here! I know better than to poop where I sleep! Well, less I been drinkin' ;P

Okay BoBer.. Did some digging.. not really much to help with GPS reception other than A) use an external GPSr antenna if possible B) relocate the GPSr to reduce interference from other objects C) wait for better weather LOL YEah I have had data jump on me just like that before. I'd send pic but that...

I have had some of rouge gps coords myself. Ummm.. If you have been having heavy overcast conditions it can cause weaker sat signamls to disappear altogether . Which make and model GPSr are you using? I'll do some digging wround the internet and see if I can come up with some remedies for poor signal
