About me 17 / m / -34,138 This geohasher comes from Adelaide. en This user is a native speaker of English. jp-1 この利用者は初級の日本語ができます。

Hey! I'm XXOs, a user on this wiki (believe it or not). I used to have a thing saying how many times I’d geohashed, but it got annoying to update. I might figure it a better way to show that soon.

I also have a hashscot, a Cyndaquil named Therm!

My account was created on 2020-09-18.

A while ago, I made a Javascript port of Hessophanes's regiohashing tool, but I haven't updated it for a while and am contemplating redoing it.

This'll probably just be lists until I can do some sort of template.

Radio Yerevan

Is it true that XXOs earned the Holy hash achievement? In principle, yes. But while the hash was on the same street as a church, it didn't land at the church. (2021-09-26 -34 138).

Is it true that XXOs earned the Product Placement GeoSquishy achievement? In principle, yes. But they didn't actually get a squishy, only planned to (2024-09-02 -34 138).

Is it true that this user earned the Regional geohashing achievement? In principle, yes. But the hash point was technically not in the city of Adelaide, and any definitions of "Greater Adelaide" either don't include it or include more than just -34,138 and -35,138 (2024-02-18 -35 138).

Is it true that XXOs earned the Cross that bridge achievement? In principle, yes. But the geohash wasn’t actually on a bridge - it was a couple of metres away. (2024-04-03 -34 138).
