Meet fellow cachers and learn how to create those cool looking
profile page statistics, manage your cache logs, and much, much
more from experienced cachers on Thursday, March 17, beginning
at 7:00 p.m., in the large downstairs classroom at St. Francis
Xavier Catholic Church, 357 Pioneer Drive, Valdez. Please be
quietly respectful as you enter the building because Mass may be
occurring in the main sanctuary.
Tonight's speakers are Michael Malvick (Ladybug Kids) and Victoria Noble
(Blazingpathways), who routinely run
Geocaching Swiss Army Knife (GSAK) macros to enhance their record
keeping and keep caching statistics. You will gain more from this
evening's course by downloading GSAK to your computer by following
the link from the Geocaching.com Geocaching Software webpage and
exploring it ahead of time. You may also bring your laptop to
this session for the hands on exercises. Note, GSAK is only PC
compatible. For a review of past GSAK information that's been
shared, visit the GeocacheAlaska! Education webpage for downloadable materials.
Some of the topics that will be discussed at this EduVent
include:
- What are macros?
- GSAK online macro database
- Downloading a macro
- Syncing your macro database
- Running a macro
- Editing a macro
- StatGen macros
- Add a log macros
This event is a live link via WebEx of event sites in these
locations: Anchorage, Valdez and Soldotna. Please place a watch on this
event page to stay appraised of the final details. If you
would like to host future presentations like this one elsewhere in
Alaska, please contact Education Committee Chair, SSO
JOAT.
Please arrive on time so upfront administrative details can be
handled and announcements made, allowing the course content to
start at 7:00 p.m. Adding a "Will Attend" log to this page will
assure enough hard copy handouts are printed for the event
participants. If no one logs a "Will Attend" prior to the event,
the event will most likely be archived so StoweAk can resolve a
conflict they have for the evening. Also, please bring your
favorite nonalcoholic beverage and favorite dessert to share with
your fellow cachers.
StoweAK obtained a special GeocacheAlaska! item to be awarded
via a random drawing following an event. You can't win if you don't
come!.
