Geocaching consists in looking for objects hidden by other adepts of this leisure activity, with the help of aGpsr. HappyGeocaching is a stand-alone program of management for caches, simple and in French, that uses a database containing the description of caches.
This database consists of a common part (coordinates and description of the caches) and a personal part (date of discovery, notes, photos).
The main source is the web site Geocaching.com (Use of Pocket-Queries providing GPX files). One finds there for example more than 13,000 active caches in France, and more than 348,000 active caches in Germany.
Various secondary sources exist, for example Geocaching.be.
Finally, one can manually create caches in the database.

Here is the example of one among them, called "Cours particuliers" (source: netprof.fr) but one can find some of the thousands others available on Internet:
On a 5 enseignants professant un total de 5 cours ayant chacun une langue, une durée et un prix différents.
L'objectif du jeu est de trouver pour chaque cours, sa langue, sa durée, son prix et le nom de l'enseignant, en respectant les 6 régles ci-après :
1 : Le cours le plus cher n'a pas duré 35 ni 40 mn
2 : Le cours de Lylian a dure 5 mn de moins que celui qui a couté 35 € mais plus longtemps que le cours de latin
3 : Le cours d'arabe a couté plus cher que celui de Louis mais moins cher que celui de 30 mn
4 : Charles n'enseigne pas l'anglais ni l'arabe mais son cours n'a pas duré 5 mn de moins que celui de Lylian
5 : Le cours de chinois a duré 5 mn de moins que celui a 42 € mais plus longtemps que celui de Baptiste, dont le prix diffère de plus de 7 € de celui de Charles
6 : Le cours de Grégoire a couté plus cher que le cours d'allemand mais moins cher que le cours le plus long

Everybody have probably noticed that a computer raisonably fast just after power-on will slow down as time goes on. This is mainly due to the fact that the memory available for the computing decreases : The more you open programs, the worse the situation will become. Some programs also have "memory leaks" and do not restore memory to the operating system when they are finished.
Consequently, the computer becomes slow, and can even crash with the sad result that all data not saved will be lost.
MemAv can monitor this phenomena and tell you in real time if your available memory is still satisfactorily, or if it is time to close some windows, or save and reboot Windows before the disaster occurs.
MemAv will add a very discreet bar at the top of your computer screen. This bar, originaly green, will change its color and become blue as the available memory of your computer decreases. When its color turns red, it is time to close some of the open programs or to reboot.
By right-clicking on the bar, a context menu will open with 6 push-buttons, and a small notepad.
"Reboot Windows" is the button to push when the bar stays red when most programs have been closed (Memory jeopardized by successive memory-leaks)
"Exit Windows" is the button to push to power-off your computer
"Screen capture" will take a picture of your current screen, INCLUDING THE MOUSE POINTER.
"Limited capture" will take a picture of the selected part of your screen
"Toggle desktop" will hide or restore all the icons of your desktop, in order to take a clean capture, with no background.
Your screen capture can either be opened automaticaly in your favorite Image Processing Program, or saved as a BMP or JPG file.
"Exit MemAv" will terminate this program and remove the bar.
MemAv runs under Windows 98-XP-NT-Vista
