This checkin to GC9BHWG Watercress beds reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

Found GC9QWHD Plankton's cache
This checkin to GC9QWHD Plankton's cache reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

Possibly worth the CO checking if those coordinates …

Vanity Nameservers (White-Label DNS) in 2026
Back in 2006, adding vanity nameservers to my personal domains was just something I did as a matter of course, but - like most of the Internet - I don't bother any more. Until today, when I switched danq.me's nameservers to four subdomains of danq.me. For the sake of nostalgia!

I received another Postcard From The Internet; this one's written on a very unusual medium, and that's not the only thing that's odd about it... another thing is that I can't work out who its from, beyond the first-name-only with which they've signed the card. Who are you, Tony?

Did not find GCBX0R7 War Memorial #???? ~ Standlake
This checkin to GCBX0R7 War Memorial #???? ~ Standlake reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Well I feel especially thick right now.
