  1. Wss is er wel een max limiet.

     

    ik heb een test gedaan met 1.000.000 tekens en dit was geen probleem. Enkel het laden van het profiel werd traaaaaaaaaag...

     

    De oorzaak van je probleem zal wss in de HTML code zitten die je toevoegt in je profiel.

  2. Mijn ervaring is dus dat dan niet alles mee komt.

    Veel heb ik toch zelf moeten doen en nu dus zorgen dat ik het bijhoud.

     

    Zorg ervoor dat je de juiste toetsen van de macro gebruikt:

     

    OK - tekst in de tekstbox -> GC.com Personal cache note en GSAK Geocaching.com Note

     

    Personal Cache Note To GSAK Note - GC.com Personal cache note -> GSAK User Notes

     

    GSAK Note to Personal Cache Note - GSAK User Notes -> GC.com Personal cache note

    Refresh - GC.com Personal cache note -> GSAK Geocaching.com Note

  3. Probleem met gc.com en het forum lijken opgelost, hopelijk blijft het zo...

     

    Op sommige cachepagina's zie ik wel veel dubbele logs.

     

    De API-server doet het nog steeds niet goed (70% van de API calls geven "no response" in GSAK wanneer je een "Refresh cache data" uitvoert)

  4. Voor wie het nog niet heeft gemerkt, de API laat het weer afweten...

     

    Wss hebben de GS servers het te druk met de verwerking van de 31 days of geocaching souvenirs "Found it" logjes...

  5. 1. Nog steeds van toepassing (zie ook link)

    2. Wanneer je een username ingeeft die reeds in gebruik is krijg je een foutmelding

    via deze link kan je vooraf checken of een username reeds in gebruik is.

    typ maar eens BRRR in als voorbeeld en kijk hoeveel usernames er beginnen met BRRR

    3. inderdaad, al je founds worden overgezet naar je nieuwe username

    4. geen problemen te verwachten.

    5. hou er rekening mee:

    . dat wanneer je je username gebruikt in de tekst van een log (bv. Brrrombeer en Berin), deze niet gewijzigd wordt naar de nieuwe.

    . wijzigen van je username via geocaching.com zal je username bij geocaching.nl NIET wijzigen

    . wanneer je caches geplaatst hebt, zal je manueel het "Cache Placed By" veld moeten updaten

     

     

  6. Voor wie het nog niet heeft gemerkt, de API performantieproblemen zijn blijkbaar terug onder controle.

     

    Vandaag deed ik in GSAK een "Refresh Cache Data" van 350 caches zonder errors/retries en duurde 3 minuten.

    Hopelijk blijft het zo...

  7. Nu nog iets peventiefs. Hoog Deet-gehalte?

     

    DEET helpt zo goed als niks!

     

    Permethrin werkt wel prima. Maar het is "moeilijker" toe te passen. Want je moet het op je kleding aanbrengen en het is moeilijk(er) te vinden.

    Permethrin werd ontwikkeld voor en gebruikt door Departement of Defense (DoD) - U.S. Military.

     

    De beste preventieve maatregelen zijn:

    Draag lichtgekleurde kleding.

    Steek je broek in je sokken.

    Steek je hemd in je broek.

    Draag een hoed.

    Spuit uw schoenen, sokken, riem, kraag en hoed met een permethrine bevattende teek afstotend middel.

    Doe een teek-check na het lopen in hoog-risicogebieden.

    Doe kleren die levende teken op hen zouden kunnen hebben in een hete droogkast gedurende tien minuten om alle insecten te doden.

     

     

    DEET versus Permethrin als een anti-teken middel:

     

    With the best of intentions, parents across this country try to protect their kids from Lyme disease by slathering their children in gallons of tick repellent. But what says tick repellent on the label is usually nothing more than mosquito repellent given a face-lift. Thanks to aggressive marketing by manufacturers, it is difficult to find a tick repellent that doesn?t use DEET as its main ingredient.

     

    DEET is an excellent mosquito repellent, but it is a fairly poor tick repellent. The reason we are inundated with so many DEET repellents is because there are several huge corporations that manufacture hundreds of variations of DEET products. Only a few manufacturers use the more effective tick repellent ingredient approved for human use: 0.5 % permethrin.

     

    Permethrin is a synthetic pyrethoid insecticide that is widely used as an insecticide in both agricultural and home applications. There are pros and cons to using either DEET or Permethrin for personal use, but when it comes to efficacy of disabling ticks before they can feed on you: Permethrin wins hands down!

     

    Permethrin is a spray that is used on clothes only! If ingested permethrin is toxic and can cause a variety of neurologic symptoms, and prolonged exposure in rats caused lung cancer. It is also highly toxic to aquatic systems and fish. For this reason care must be given to using pyrethroid insecticides on yards that drain to near by aquatic systems. When permethrin is sprayed on clothing, it becomes odorless and can last for several weeks with a single application. Once it is applied most ticks will curl up and fall off if they make contact with the clothing, and the ticks will eventually die if there is prolonged exposure. Care must be given to all insecticides to ensure that they are as safe and effective as they can be without human and ecological side effects. Permethrin is used in over 100 million applications a year in agriculture and home use. But its use as a tick repellent on clothing is a tiny fraction of the amount used world-wide for insect control. The military tested permethrin on soldiers and published a 67 page report of its efficacy and safety. In these studies soldiers completely saturated their clothes inside and out with permethrin and let them dry and then used DEET on the skin and outside of the clothing.

     

    For domestic use, smaller amounts of spray are quite effective for most day hikers and campers. Permethrin sprays are best applied to clothing outdoors in well ventilated areas, applied directly on the outside of clothing especially in those areas that are most likely to come in contact with ticks including: shoes, socks, pant legs, belt lines, cuffs, collars and hats. For further protection from ticks and mosquitoes, mosquito sprays containing 35% DEET or less can be applied to bare skin.

    ------------------------------------------------------------

    Pros and Cons:

    DEET needs to be applied regularly and can only work as it is evaporating. Permethrin works for weeks after it has dried on clothing fibers.

    DEET has a pungent aroma and works best when you

    can still smell it evaporating Permethrin is odorless when dry and works for weeks.

    DEET is applied directly to the skin and can be absorbed through the skin. Permethrin is applied to clothing only and has limited contact to the skin.

    DEET does not kill or disable ticks, and is a poor tick repellent. Permethrin works instantly and is extremely effective. It is the tick repellent of choice by the military. It also kills many other biting insects but is a poor mosquito repellent.

    DEET can melt synthetic clothes like nylon. Permethrin causes no damage to any known cloth or synthetic fiber.

    DEET products are easy to find. Permethrin is hard to find and more expensive.

    DEET also repels fish and is not a good tackle box buddy. Permethrin is directly toxic in small quantities to fish and care should be taken to minimize its exposure to aquatic systems.

    DEET has been implicated in causing neurological symptoms by absorption through the skin. Permethrin is applied to clothing not the skin, but also is neurotoxic in animal models when ingested.

    DEET is an excellent mosquito repellent but a very

    poor tick repellent. Permethrin causes ticks to curl

    and die on contact.

    ----------------------------------------------------------

    Permethrin containing products that are approved for human use ae manufactured by Coulston labs, and can be found under labels such as Duranon, Permanone, Repel w/permethrin, and Congo Creek Tick Spray. A 0.5 % veterinary permethrin product can be found in most feed stores and horse supply shops as a horse tick repellent. The veterinary products tend to cost about half the price per ounce as the human-use product.

     

    In a field test that the Minnesota Insect-Borne Disease Education Council did in Jay Cook State Park in Northern Minnesota, they found that the permethrin products out performed the DEET containing tick repellents. A walking shoe was sprayed with Duranon 0.5% permethrin and then three weeks later it was tested against its matching mate that was sprayed with Deep Woods Off 35 % DEET. The ticks that made contact with the Duranon shoe immediately rolled up and dropped off. The ticks on the soaking wet DEET saturated shoe continued to crawl unimpaired.

     

    To avoid ticks:

    . Wear light colored clothing.

    . Tuck your pants into your socks.

    . Tuck your shirt into your pants

    . Wear a hat.

    . Spray your shoes, socks, belt-line, collar, and hat with a permethrin containing tick repellent. (Ticks like to move upward so tucking clothes in is quite effective).

    . Do a tick check after walking in high-risk areas

    . Put any clothes that might have live ticks on them into a hot dryer for thirty minutes to kill all insects.

     

    Keep your Family Safe ! Do Tick Checks !

    Ziehier een studie waaruit blijkt dat het absoluut niet werkt: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1770480

    Conclusie: The study extends and supports previous findings that ultrasound is ineffective as a means of controlling common pests of households and pets.

    Moest het wel werken dat lagen de outdoorwinkels al jaren lang vol met dergelijke ultrasone tekenbeschermers.

    Abstract
    Two ultrasonic pest controllers, a pet-collar unit and a large unit for household use, were tested for their efficacy in repelling fleas and ticks in a choice chamber. Neither unit had any affect on the distribution of fleas or ticks in the choice chamber up to 24 h exposure, and activity of fleas, ticks and cockroaches was unimpaired. The study extends and supports previous findings that ultrasound is ineffective as a means of controlling common pests of households and pets.

    Does it Work?
    • While the manufacturers of electronic flea and tick control products claim they are effective, they do not cite properly-conducted scientific studies to support that claim. Furthermore, Barb Ogg, Ph.D. of the University of Nebraska, Jeff Schalau, an associate Agent of Agriculture, Jack DeAngelis, Ph.D. of Ohio State University, and Natural Resources at the University of Arizona all clearly state that these products have not been proven to work. Dr. Ogg and Mr. Schalau also add that the Federal Trade Commission has charged multiple companies with false advertising of these products, requiring them to provide refunds to customers.

    Ik heb dan ook grote bedenkingen bij de goede werking van dit apparaatje.

     

    Volgens mij werkt het enkel "tussen-de-oren" en is het een uitvinding van een kwakzalver die er goed geld aan verdient...

  9. Groundspeak heeft aangegeven er mee bezig te zijn.

    Waar heb je dit gelezen?

     

    Hier werd het probleem met de API gemeld en kan je het volgen.

     

    Na 5 dagen nog steeds geen enkele reactie van Groundspeak en of ze het probleem erkennen of ermee bezig zijn...

     

    Ik denk dat ze de extra verdiende €uros (BTW) van de PMships aan het uitgeven zijn op een idyllisch eiland.
