Ohio Delorme Challenge
The Ohio Delorme geocache requires a visit to each cache in the Delorme atlas for Ohio but only visits after the cache was placed will count towards the cache find. Once a cache has been found on each page you then get the co-ordinates for the final cache hidden somewhere in Ohio.
With the aid of a KML file, the recent finds pocket query, GSAK and Google earth it is quite easy to work out which pages you need to do.
First download the Ohio Delorme KML file from the main cache page, GCZ554. Next download Google Earth (if you don't already have it already. Finally you want a .loc file of all your finds since the 2nd of December 2006 when the cache was placed. The easiest way to do this is to download your latest finds into GSAK, then using the filters set State=Ohio, Found=Yes, Date=On or After 12/2/2006. I saved the filter as Delorme so I can run this whenever I need to check my status.
In Google earth open the KML file and then open the loc file to see the caches appear in gridlines for each page. You may want to turn off extra options and layers such as road names, community uploaded content etc. This will give you a cleaner picture. 
The picture above shows the gridlines and the picture below shows my found caches so far. I've actually found quite a few other pages but unfortunately they were before the cache was placed so they don't count.
So far I've found pages 45-48,55-59,65 and 67-69
Meanwhile TeamJNLe4 completed all the pages yesterday and now just has to go for the final cache - congrats Jonathan!

Jeff's #2
Plook asked if I wanted to join him and some others in going to do encrypted cache and Jeff's #2. The answer was yes of course, so we headed on down there this afternoon. Had a good time finding the cache which was easy to find when you know what you are doing. I'm glad I had confirmed my coordinates though - a 136' error (which I had initially) would not have helped in finding the cache.

Watch a cacher with RSS feeds
I've written
my own rss feed for my own cache finds and some other local cachers. This is a feature that geocaching.com lacks and is fairly easy to write and would save a lot of their bandwidth. For those who subscribe to my feed, don't refresh more than once a day as I only update it (automatically) at 8am each morning.

NW Cache Meetup
Went to my second North West Cache meetup on Sunday which was good fun although I spoke to more cachers out on the trail than I did in the pub itself. On the way there I did It's a crime and the only crime was how long it took me to find the thing, followed by Poor struggler which was hard to do without any muggles spotting me. By this time it was getting close to the event cache but I still managed to squeeze in Serenity which was a weird place (without giving too much away) and I managed to find a frog! It then started to chuck it down with rain so I went to the Cache meet, had a fantastic Beef and Ale pie - I can strongly recommend the food in this pub - and then nipped over the field to find Forever Bury where I met up with Rev n Doc and Taylor and had a quick chat with them as I was coming back and they were going. Shortly afterwards I met them again at Burr's Mousetrap which is a very intriguing cache location, especially with the train trying to make people jump.

New logo & K3 Cachers
I've added a new logo to the top left of the screen which will get updated everytime I log a cache (within a two hour timeframe). The text underneath is because I've found out that not only is the person in the office opposite me addicted to caching now, someone else has gone out and found two caches and they don't even have a gps - just an Ordnance Survey map, good local knowledge and excellent map reading skills. There are also two or three other people who have expressed an interest in it too (but only one other person from the office has found my cache)
