Geocache Description:

This will be the tenth in the series of Techno Events and the third for 2012.

The afternoon will be focused mainly on Wherigo caches, with some information on the latest Badgegen Macro in GSAK and an update on the Mega event

The venue has limited seating (25) for those who want to come and join us between 13:00 and 17:00 to see the technical session, please post your attendance early as seating is on a "first come first served" basis.

However, should you want to come just to meet up with everybody and renew caching friendships, discover some new coins or just enjoy a sundowner, braai fires will be available from 17:00 onwards. Please bring along your own "dop & chop".

If you are attending the first session and you have a laptop / Macbook / iPad or whatever that you can bring along, there is a WiFi as well as wired network to enable you to apply your newly acquired knowledge and experiment with the new tools.

Refreshments will also be provided during the breaks throughout the afternoon. When logging your intended attendance, please indicate whether you will be coming to the "byte", "bite" or both. This will help us with the necessary logistical arrangements.

The provisional program is as follows:

13:00 Welcome, settle in and get online.

13:15 - 14:15 Theoretical discussion on building a wherigo. Graham (ThomasfamilyZA) and Brendan (BrendsZA) will share their experience of building the cartridge for the cache Bezuidenhout Park Adventure Story (GC326H6). This session will deal with the software used (Urwigo available from (visit link) ), the steps to build a wherigo, and some of the lessons learned around compatibility across different devices. They will show you some of the logic from the actual cartridge, but no spoilers.

14:15 - 14:30 Refreshments will be served.

14:30 - 15:30 Practical example of building a wherigo, we will design and compile a short wherigo as a group for Bruce’s garden, and show you how it works in practice.

15:30 - 15:45 More refreshments, smoke break and munchies.

15:45 - 16:30 Anton Damhuis (DamhuisClan) will present on the new badge and belt system in the beta BadgeGen macro on GSAK , and handle any other questions on GSAK and producing statistics.

16:30 - 17:00 Silvia from GEO936 will give an update on the MEGA event (GC3B0EJ) Depending on the coin suppliers, we may even have photos of the MEGA coin to show but, if nothing else we shall show off the T-shirts with the design!

17:00 till whenever... Braai, socialising, swapping coins, discovering new coins while having a great time enjoying yourselves to the full. Please bring along whatever you want to eat and drink and enjoy meeting everybody else.

There may be a limited amount of geocaching hardware available but with the high current R/$ exchange rate it has not been viable to bring in much stock.
