Well as you can see life has been keeping me busy. I hope you all have been popping over th Podcacher and following the shows. Some of them have been pretty fun.

This weekend was Champoeg 6. The yearly gathering of crazies in and around the Portland area. We also had special guests down from the from lair. We hope you had a great time Heidi, Rothstafari, Miss Jenn and Spoon. It was really great to meet you and we really appreciate the support and sponsorship from Groundspeak.

I shot about 275 photos and am in the process of sorting them as I write this. Check out the photo gallery for the best of the best, and the worst of the worst.

At long last TPTB have updated the published hide guidelines. Upon review I have to say that they do not look a whole lot different then the November 2005 version, but there is some rewording that should make it easier to understand. Also you can see some “growing up” beginning to creep into the game. There are still some “guidelines” that I have been requested to comply with that are not published, but perhaps we will see more frequent updates now that the game has become so popular. If you have not yet see the guidelines they can be found here New cache placement guidelines.
