guidelines sobre a manutenção

You are responsible for occasional visits to your cache to maintain
proper working order, especially when someone reports a problem with
the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.). You may temporarily disable
your cache to let others know not to search for it until you have a
chance to fix the problem. This feature is to allow you a reasonable
amount of time – normally a few weeks – in which to check on your
cache. If a cache is not being maintained, or has been temporarily
disabled for an unreasonable length of time, we may archive the
listing.

Because of the effort required to maintain a geocache, we ask that you
place physical caches in your usual caching area and not while on a
vacation or business trip. It is best when you live within a
manageable distance from the cache placements to allow for return
visits. Geocaches placed during travel may not be published unless you
are able to demonstrate an acceptable maintenance plan, which must
allow for a quick response to reported problems. An acceptable
maintenance plan might include the username of a local geocacher who
will handle maintenance issues in your absence.[/quote]

Como owner, se tiver planos para recolocar a cache, por favor,
contacte-me por
[url=http://www.geocaching.com/email/?u=serafimsaudade]e-mail[/url].

Lembro que a eventual reactivação desta cache passará pelo mesmo
processo de análise como se fosse uma nova cache, com todas as
implicações que as guidelines actuais indicam.

Se no local existe algum container, por favor recolha-o a fim de
evitar que se torne lixo (geolitter).

Obrigado

Geocache Description:


Steganography is the art a d science of writing hidden messages in such a way that no one, apart from the sender and intended re ipient, suspects the existence of the message, a form of security through obscurity. The word steganograp y is of Greek origin and means "conceale writing" from the Greek words steganos meaning "covered or protected", and graphei meaning "writing". The irst recorded use of the term was in 1499 by Johannes Trithemius in h s Steganography, a treatise on ryptography and steganography disguised as a ook on magic. Generally, messages ill appear to be something else: mages, articles, shopping lists, or some other covertext and, classically, the hidden message may be in invisible ink between the visible lines of a private letter. The advantage of steganography, over cryptography alone, is that messages do not attract attention to themselves. Plainly visible encrypted messages—no matter how unbreakable—will arouse suspicion, and may in themselves be incr minating in countries where encryption is illegal. There ore, wh reas cryptogr phy protects the ontents of a message, steganography can be said to protect both messages and communicating parties.
