I work as a database programmer and multi-purpose geek in the "IT-Speicher" in Regensburg, Germany, and toy around with infrared thermography, unconventional r/c aircraft, aerial photography, and some other odd digital photography techniques in my free time.
I do have a website but for the moment it is horribly outdated.
I was a very active Openstreetmap mapper (back in 2007, when Regensburg almost completely missing on their map) and I've been a moderately, but constantly active Geocacher since 2006; these combine well with Geohashing expeditions.
I visited a lot of hashpoints in 2009, which was an amazing year - to a great extent thanks to geohashing expeditions and the people that accompanied me there. Since then my enthusiasm has faded a bit, so my weekend plans are no longer ruled by the DJIA, but I'm still looking for ones that would make for good day trips, and trying to at least pay a short visit to those hashpoints that are "too close not to go", which for me means that they're reachable from Regensburg by bicycle, including the corners of the neighbor graticules:
I have also been seen in other graticules across central Europe a few times, due to vacations and dedicated geohashing trips.
I can be found idling around in #geohashing most of the time, and I've built a program to generate Maps and Statistics about graticules and expeditions on the wiki.
