Found GL4ZB5G9 Blowing Away the Cobwebs
This checkin to GL4ZB5G9 Blowing Away the Cobwebs reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Should have been easy, but not one but TWO cars were parked right in the way of the cache... and one of them was being unloaded by it's owners at the time! I stood around with …

Found GL4ZB56N Zed's Pico Cache
This checkin to GL4ZB56N Zed's Pico Cache reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Wonderful little cache in a devious little hiding place. Looked in the right place several times before I thought to let a curious finger do the exploring for me! Got strange looks from passers-by and so had …

Found GL4ZB4T2 University Challenge 5 (munch munch)
This checkin to GL4ZB4T2 University Challenge 5 (munch munch) reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. AltThe Headington Shark. AltThe Headington Shark. I've visited dozens of times - I only live around the corner - but never realised that it was a virtual cache. Picture doesn't include me nor my GPSr …

Found GL4ZB20J Famished Equine
This checkin to GL4ZB20J Famished Equine reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Found without lid nor magnets, soaking wet, buried in pile of leaves: this one's a goner. I'm removing the cache and I'll arrange to get it back to it's owner as soon as possible, but until then this …

This checkin to GL4ZB1B2 University Challenge 14 (Poly) reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. AltCache and its log. AltCache and its log. Excellent cache!

Found GL4ZB0YP H. H. Park
This checkin to GL4ZB0YP H. H. Park reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. I love this park in the summertime, but in the depths of a wet winter it was more than a little difficult to get to the cache, and involved wading through ankle-deep water in the swampy area …

Found GL4ZB0KR Milham Ford recreation ground
This checkin to GL4ZB0KR Milham Ford recreation ground reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. The goddesses of the satellites were with me! On this, my second cache of the day (and many of the others I found today), my GPSr took me right up to within a metre of the …

Found GL4ZB099 just visiting...
This checkin to GL4ZB099 just visiting... reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Like the previous visitor, I parked my bike up on the "wrong" side of the steam, but thankfully I was able to hop across without too much difficulty and find this little cache.

Couldn't find GC1J956 Sliding in the quarry
This checkin to GC1J956 Sliding in the quarry reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Far too muddy, I guess: couldn't even get close! Will try again another time.

Couldn't find GC17QTE Britannia - Never At Sea
This checkin to GC17QTE Britannia - Never At Sea reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. I can't decipher the numbers! I've come up with values for B and C which are too low to be able to deduct some of the values that the formula requires me to... maybe there's …

Posted a note for GC21WAA Famished Equine
This checkin to GC21WAA Famished Equine reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. This cache has been removed as it is no longer intact (lid and magnet missing, camouflage fallen off). Photo included. I'll arrange to deliver this to the owner so that it can be repaired and replaced, hopefully.

New Look, New Protocols
This website's been updated with a shiny new theme and an exciting (well, if you're a geek) new IPv6 address. Read more about the changes here and let Dan know what you think by leaving a comment.

Ask for What You Want
There's a psychological concept called the anchoring effect. If you apply it to successful polyamorous relationship strategies, you get an unpleasant result. Dan justifies how he ignores that result.

They Say that Programmers Never Die
Dan writes poetry using programming languages, and wonders whether or not any of the code he's written in his life, thus far, will outlive him.

As an Aquarius, I'm shocked...
In the wake of Facebook and the rest of the Internet going crazy over a possible discrepancy in the interpretation of star signs, Dan is glad that his self-made certificate still shows that he's an Aquarius.
