[...] The loss of file-based object caching was a bit of a problem, as my VPS’s load average jumped to over 30 pretty quickly after the upgrade. I tried Mark Jaquith’s apc-object-cache enabler and saw load average drop back to 2 or so, but I also saw tag and category names disappear and discovered other weirdness. Why it happened I don’t know, but I’m looking into it. Fortunately, NeoSmart’s file-based object cache replacement works perfectly and efficiently.

Ah, good point – hadn’t thought of that. The other potential problem would be that people would feel the need to leave something after taking a shirt, and the cans could fill up with geocrap (though I guess you could leave a note telling people not to).

Made the trek with Miles (5) today and had a blast. Found the ammo cans mid-day and there are still plenty of shirts - go get 'em! This was extra special for us -- coincidentally, this turned out to to be our 100th geocache find exactly. Blog entry | Flickr set

[...] last week, heard about another kind of WP-Cache — developer Ryan Boren planted a couple of ammo cans full of WordPress t-shirts in the middle of Almaden Quicksilver Park — and didn’t list them on geocaching.com. In [...]

Is this cache also listed on geocaching.com? Or is it intended to be more insider/secret, i.e. not intended for “normal” geocachers?

Sounds like fun!
I’d love a shirt, and I bet the view is great…unfortunately, I’m all the way over in Ontario, Canada so it’s a bit of a trek for me!
