  • Review of OxyBox

    This review of OxyBox originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan. OxyBox, 9 Oxford Rd, Kidlington OX5 2BP, United Kingdom. Rating: โญโญโญโญ Contrary to others' reviews, we've always found OxyBox to deliver reasonably-priced food at perfectly acceptable speeds. Sometimes we've had to wait as long as 40 minutes, but they've always told โ€ฆ

    Teaching Kids to Code - Why It Matters

    Teaching children to program computers should be seen as being about making a new generation of computer programmers. It should be seen as an essential ingredient in making intellectual, fluent adults of tomorrow who can understand computers, not just "use" them.

  • Found GLFM84FT MarstonMystery5

    This checkin to GLFM84FT MarstonMystery5 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. It's still there, folks! Glad I didn't look at the logs before I started searching or I might have given up prematurely! My 'cacher-sense was tingling as I approached the GZ: there is one really obvious hiding spot!

    This checkin to GLFM7YKW MarstonMystery6 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. This one, labelled 4 (there's definitely been a switcheroo somewhere here) was an easier find than I expected: my hunch was spot on!

Loved Marston Mystery 1 so much I decided to come back and bag a couple more on my way to a gathering of magicians at the Victoria Arms tonight. Hunted among the nettles at the wrong side of the โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC44C3P MarstonMystery4 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Oh yeah: noticed that the lid for this cache identifies it as Marston Mystery 6! Did they get switched around at some point, perhaps?

  • Found GLFHD69V MarstonMystery1

    This checkin to GLFHD69V MarstonMystery1 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Found while cycling back from scouting out a potential future geocache hide. Log slightly damp: not problematic yet, but have added a couple of sachets of dessicant gel to try to reduce/prevent damage. Nice spot, TFTC!
