Grenlandsmafiaen

Jeremy Irish, CEO og grunnlegger av Groundspeak som eier Geocaching.com slapp mandag 8.mars nyheten om at de fra 2. mai utvider antallet cacher du får med i en PQ fra 500 til 1000. I praksis betyr det at vi da kan halvere antallet PQ'er som trengs for å få med alle cachene i Norge!

Denne nyheten ble sluppet på forumet til Groundspeak i forbindelse med at de beklaget at det hadde vært en del rot med PQ'er i helgen. Her er meldingen fra forumet deres:

Apology: Weekend Pocket Query Issues

Over the weekend there were a lot of issues with Pocket Queries being generated. For that I sincerely apologize.

In an attempt to speed up the Pocket Query Generator, the application(s) that processes tens of thousands of Pocket Queries a day, there was a cascading number of issues that resulted in duplicate Pocket Queries going out, Pocket Queries without logs and Pocket Queries not being sent out for a certain amount of time. Also in the process, Pocket Queries were brought down to a trickle, resulting in Pocket Queries not going out at all.

We're taking this issue very seriously at Groundspeak, and we'll be focusing on increasing the capabilities over this next weekend to ensure this never, ever happens again. By increasing this capacity we'll also be prepared to offer Pocket Queries with 1,000 results instead of 500. This will happen by the anniversary of geocaching (May 2, 2010). As those veterans to geocaching know, I'm not usually one to offer dates, but this one is solid.

Again, I offer my apology for this weekend's issues.
