While I do not cache for numbers, it is sometimes cool to see how you are doing. Not as a comparison to anyone else but simply as a reflection. I have noticed lately several profiles that had a cool break down of the stats for that particular cacher and the other day I clicked on the link for a stat generator called Cache Stats. What I found was a very cool little program that reads a GPX of your finds, a pocket query that paid members can generate, and parses it to give you a lot of cool things. It will list each hundred level milestone, give you a break down of caches by year, find rates, most finds in a day, parse logs for a phrase such as FTF and cout your FTFs and a whole lot more. It can even allow you to specify a number of find goal and they date you wish to achieve it and then project how many finds per day you will need to get there. Here is a screen shot of the main program:

And a screen that lets you list your favorite caches in several categories:

It also exports the cool HTML code of the stats and even US and world maps for posting on your profile, or other web pages. This output is a bit too big for here, but you can see an example on my GC profile HERE.

As I said, its not about the numbers. But sometimes the numbers are fun to look at…

Podcacher Show 94.0: Creativity in Geocaching

This week’s show focuses on something that has always drawn me to the game. The creative level of some of the hides and containers that I have found. It seems that this is becoming a lost art, akin to tight programing in a drag and drop world, that I would hate to see lost. Have a listen and perhaps think about how you can help revive the art of the creative cache in our community.
