Geocaching: 23 Minutes

I have been looking for a straightforward way of keeping track in which minutes I've found geocaches for the West 76 Degrees Longitude Challenge. When I started keeping track a couple of years ago, I had hit 11 of the 60 minutes, and I made a list in that blog post. As I found more minutes, I had been updating blog posts, but that was not very organized, and didn't keep track when I didn't feel like blogging about every single find.

There is a checker for this challenge, but as I noticed last year, it got confused by the event cache I attended, which doesn't count for this challenge. I actually wrote to the maintainer of that checker about the glitch, but I never heard back.

I had been keeping track of things in a text file, but that was inelegant, as well. It finally hit me that a bookmark list on geocaching.com was the way to go. So I made one.

Here is an excerpt that includes Minutes 47 and 49, which I found this past weekend.

From 40 on up, I'm only missing 48, 51 and 53. I've identified candidates for those in the Greenbelt/Laurel areas. (Weirdly, there are no caches near Bowie in Minute 48.)

Anyway, that gives me 23 minutes total. The three to the west shouldn't be too hard, and I can get most of the thirties in Anne Arundel County. After that, I may stall on this challenge.

Oh, and that checker? It now seems to properly exclude the event cache. Since it list 37 minutes I lack, I have confirmed my list.

Can Scottish clubs mount a European comeback starting this summer?

The world of European club football (soccer) is weird to an American, and I continue to find Scotland an interesting lens through which to view it.

Last year I explored various scenarios where Scottish teams performed better, and their country ranking (currently mired in the 20s) improved enough to give better placement in the Champions League and Europa League. I got pretty deep into the weeds, but the main thing that needs to happen is that Celtic needs to have run of decent performances (unlike this year), and the other clubs need not to get knocked out of the Europa League quite so early.

On the other clubs' ability to do that, I think the key is restoring a vexing quality of the Scottish game -- inequality. The Scottish game is famously unequal -- the last time a team other than Celtic or Rangers won the top league was 1985. That's one of the quirks that first intrigued me.

But while inequality may seem like less fun for fans of the league, I think it may be the key to European success. You see, the last few years have seen one low-budget Scottish team after another luck into a European place and then flame out to a more experienced side from another small country.

There are five clubs in Scotland that are bigger than all the others -- Celtic, Rangers, Hearts, Hibs and Aberdeen. They are the biggest sides in the biggest cities. If they can get good, they will have the funding to both compete in Europe and to return good teams consistently, so they develop some European experience.

Unfortunately, consistency has only really been Celtic's friend lately. Three of the clubs were in the second-tier Championship last year, and two still are (although maybe not for long). That said, this year looks promising, and I'd like to explore the fun possibilities, before they get overtaken by a particular reality.

The good news is that three of the European places go to the top three teams in the top league, and those three slots are solidly occupied by three big clubs (Celtic, Aberdeen and Hearts). It might be problematic if Aberdeen steals the title away from Celtic, but that seems less likely after today. (I've given this far too much thought, but although a second-place Celtic might help Scotland's coefficient just as much with Europa League excellence, the financial hit they'd take would damage their chances of competing in future years.)

Celtic has been in Europe ever year since 1995, and in the Champions League fourteen out of the last fifteen years, so their pedigree is without peer. Aberdeen has made it to the third round of Europa League qualifying two years in a row, so they have as much European experience as any non-Celtic club. Hearts is four years removed from European competition, but the club that has emerged from the flames of their relegation seems to be one of the best-run ones in Scotland. I have high hopes for them, if not this year, then to be back in future years.

It's the fourth European place that seems most curious. The other place is given to the Scottish Cup winner. There are four teams left in Scottish Cup contention. If Celtic wins the whole thing, their place would be bumped down to the fourth-place team in the league, which is currently St. Johnstone. They are currently riding a streak of four Europa League appearances, but they got knocked out immediately in two of them, and only advanced one round in the other two. Their three wins, four losses and five draws did not add much to Scotland's coefficient. (The coefficient of 17.3 dip slightly below 16 if they had simply forfeited all games, still leaving Scotland #25 in Europe.) They've had their chance, but I guess if you had to throw a low-budget team in there, they might finally get something out of their experience.

Another possibility is that Dundee United could lift the Scottish Cup. That would be weird, as they seem almost certain to be relegated. Having a Championship side play in the Europa League would be...uh, interesting, but probably not successful.

Speaking of Championship sides, the other two teams left in are Rangers and Hibs, the two largest clubs who are down in the second-tier. Rangers will almost certainly be promoted, and there's a decent chance Hibs wins the promotion playoff, so I actually find these the most intriguing possibilities. Either could kick off their return to the top-flight by trying to make a run in the Europa League. It could motivate them to spend wisely on their team, if they have an additional way of making a splash.

We'll see. I'll report back later this year, when it may turn out to be some other team, if Celtic wins the Cup and St. Johnstone's stumbles.

Farewell, Druidtree

I never met Max Neill, but I did beat him in a game of Go last year.

The 49-year-old Englishman passed away on Leap Day after a long battle with cancer.

His condition first came to my attention late last year when he made an unusual post on the Go server's message board, essentially asking about the etiquette for dying in the middle of a Go game. His concern was that he would lose a number of games when the clock ran out, and

"I'd like my rating after my death to reflect my actual rating, rather than drop like a stone due to unfinished matches. Not sure why this is important to me. I suppose it's so that people researching my legacy don't think I was a total beginner at the game."

Earlier this month, some other site users noticed he had stopped making moves. I was able to do a little research to connect his user name (Druidtree) with his real name, and I found his obituary.

In light of this sad news, the site administrator restored his rating to what his was before his death (18 kyu). People will thus know he's not a total beginner at this game.

Me? I'm not a total beginner, either, but I haven't improved much since I last posted about the game almost five years ago. I'm still 15 kyu. I had a 4-4 record in the server's 2015 Double-Digit Kyu Tournament. One of those victories was over Druidtree, aka Max Neill. According to the site, our entire written exchange over the 204 moves that comprised the game consisted of:

1	Enjoy.
2	Hi
3	Enjoy.
204	Thanks for the match.

I won by 18.5 stones. Not a squeaker, but not an overwhelming game, either. About what you'd expect of someone 3 stones better in ranking. So he was good enough to give a game to someone like me who was plodding along for a decade. Definitely not a total beginner.

Thanks for the match, Max.

Geocaching: Geocaching.com Statistics

I have recently mentioned generating geocaching statistics at My Geocaching Profile and Project-GC. The former requires you to generate a new stats file to upload -- which you can do at most every three days. The latter updates automatically, but only once a week. So what's to do if you have a new milestone to blog about, and you can't get either of these updated?

Well, I recently discovered that Geocaching.com has its own stats section of the profile for premium members. It's updated automatically when you find new caches. So, I recently found a cache with a difficulty rating of 1.0 and a terrain rating of 2.5. Here it is on my chart:

Actually, the best of the three for difficulty/terrain charts is Project-GC:

I particularly like the "Way to 81" part, which not only identifies the first cache found with a particular combo, but also tells you how many days you've gone between adding a new combination. But! I won't have combo #18 listed until this weekend. That's because I haven't felt like paying them the $23/year for Project-GC membership. Given my caching rate, I don't think that'd be money well-spent. What is my caching rate, Geocaching.com?

OK. 0.0324 caches/day. Weekly checking deemed not necessary.

The Geocaching.com stats page is fairly basic -- no county-by-county breakdowns, for example. I think that's not surprising -- the main purpose of the site is geocaching itself, not the side games enabled by statistics. I am a little bit surprised, however, that some of the formatting seems off.

Here, for example, the words on the left don't quite align with the bars in the middle. I understand the HTML gremlins that cause this, but I'd think Geocaching.com could make it look a little more professional. Still. It's my best option for up-to-date stats. Most of the time, however, I'm happy to wait for prettier ones.

Geocaching: Project-GC

I have mentioned that I like looking at my stats on "My Geocaching Profile."

I've also found another site that generates stats: Project-GC. Each site has its pluses and minuses. One advantage of Project-GC is that it allows you to download and display your "right now" stats, rather than embedding your evolving stats. So as of when I'm typing this, I have 101 finds, which is what's displayed at the end of this post. It's also possible to embed dynamic stats, just like with MGP.

However, it's only "right now" stats because I haven't found any since the weekly database sync. Project-GC updates on Sundays, unless you pay them for a membership. With MGP, you can download stats from Geocaching.com (if you are a paying member of Geocaching.com) as often as every three days, so if you time it right, you are more likely to be up to date. It's confusing, but I see no need to pay Project-GC in addition.
