From Geohashing

I really want to make it to this geohash, but I also really, really want to be in Budapest at 4 PM sharp, and a round trip on Saturday by train seems impossible to complete before 4:35. Codae (talk) 09:51, 4 December 2015 (EST)

Addendum: staying in Bratislava overnight seems feasible. Codae (talk) 09:56, 4 December 2015 (EST)

mail me if we can pick you you up somewhere around bratislava, i guess we can arrange something --B2c (talk 03:38, 05 December 2015 (CET)
Too late: I'm on the train to the hash already. The only leg where I could use help is the way back to Budapest, but a) that would be a bit out of your way, b) I don't expect the drive to be possible between "sometime this afternoon" and 16:00, and c) the tickets are already a sunk cost.

Heading back now. A success in my primary goal of globalhashing (I left a broken wooden stake to mark my best guess as to the spot), despite a failure, for the stupidest of reasons, in my secondary goal of making a token visit to the Czech Republic. Codae (talk) 05:01, 5 December 2015 (EST)

Congratulations you guys!! And looking forward to reading the rest of your account Codae. But what is a cratch?? Also, Codae are you in Budapest for this by any chance? -- OtherJack (talk) 14:01, 6 December 2015 (EST)

Hi Jack how's it going? Thanks a bunch for stopping by (as always)! Oh, a cratch is that wooden stand where deer and other game is fed in the winter (at least that's what the dictionary calls it). --B2c (talk 20:10, 06 December 2015 (CET)
Crazy... never heard of it. I'm doing well, no hashpoints for >2 months now but hopefully I'll get one this month. By the way I'm coming to Wien again for a week in April! For a conference this time. So we will have to go hashing again... and I will have to buy you guys food... :> -- OtherJack (talk) 15:03, 6 December 2015 (EST)
Excellent, we're looking forward to it! We'll try to come up with something different than burgers&beer this time ;) --B2c (talk 14:32, 07 December 2015 (CET)
no worries! -- OtherJack (talk) 10:28, 7 December 2015 (EST)
Yep, that's it. Codae (talk) 11:18, 15 December 2015 (EST)
Cool, I have some friends who did that a while ago and always speak very highly of it (I was a math major too but didn't go.) Btw I'm actually in your home graticule through this Monday morning, though I imagine you're still in Hungary... -- OtherJack (talk) 13:38, 15 December 2015 (EST)


It makes me happy to see my little app being used successfully like that. Thanks! :-) CaptainSpam (talk) 12:33, 7 December 2015 (EST)

Man that app is amazing, been using it from pretty much day one and the recent update is just the icing on the cake. Thanks a lot for your work! --B2c (talk 18:46, 07 December 2015 (CET)

Wow! A lot of congrats also from me! You lucky, lucky guys (also: dedicated and hard-working, always willing to travel -guys)! Tilley (talk) 13:49, 8 December 2015 (EST)
