If you are trying to trap armadillos with the Havahart model we use here is a tip. Make sure to check the trigger as it gets older. Ours is 4 years old now and I have seen catch fall off only to find that it need a drop of oil or a tweak now and then.
The damage was getting extra bad and I was wondering why no catch only to find that the trigger was stiff. Testing it with a stick tells the story. You don’ t want a roach to set it off, but neither require an elephant either. Test it and think armadillo. The hinges get stiff and I use a little 30w motor oil and put a drop on the trigger also. I try not to get too messy with the oil so as not to repel my guests. 
Today my oldest grandson and I went geocaching and found seven. My first trip, but he had been a couple of times with his parents. It’s easy to see why it’s a growing outdoor hobby for all ages.
We had the standard hand held GPS, but also used my iPhone with the new Geocaching app to provide the cache information. We where doing a little friendly competition to see if the iPhone GPS could hunt with the Garmin hand held. The iPhone was pretty darn close, but not quite as good as the Garmin.
I’m sure there are many caches that you could find with the iPhone though. I have created a little .mobi mobile web site thinking that there might be a tie in here somewhere.
It’s not much yet but you can check geocashe.mobi and comment either here or via it’s contact form.
Those that create web sites like myself mostly rely on shared hosting, but we all dream of getting big enough to have our own server.
I moved up last sumer to a Virtual Private Server (VPS) which is like dedicated server lite. You have pretty much total control but you still share some resources.
Dedicated Servers are like owning you own private server. I have been looking at The Planet and dreaming. They have been talked well of lately at the forums I frequent. $69 per month while fair is still a little rich for me.

I got a new Dell Inspiron back in November and it came with a trial for PC-cillin Internet Security 14. I’m going to buy a year subscription for
Trend Micro Internet Security 2008 as it seemed to work well. When you go to the site it seems like they are phasing out the term PC-cillin.
The trial didn’t slow my XP PC down and even caught a couple of minor viruses. The firewall seems smart enough but not as intrusive as ZoneAlarm. It can scan in the background without noticing a drop in performance. Of course that is with a new PC with 2 gigs of RAM and the Intel Duo.
It seems like I have played with a lot of different antiviruses this year. It seems that in spite of the fancy reviews that none of them are perfect. This one does let you use it on 3 PCs for $49.99, so if you have multiple computers like we do that’s not too bad.
