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I do have a [http://widicam.net website] but for the moment it is horribly outdated. 

I was a very active [http://www.openstreetmap.org Openstreetmap] mapper (back in 2007, when Regensburg almost completely missing on their map) and I've been a moderately, but constantly active [http://www.geocaching.com/profile/default.aspx?guid=38aa57bb-1393-4312-8293-3f8a00a6b271 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 [[User:Dawidi/Graticules|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.

... and '''several [[User:dawidi/Achievements|other achievements]]''' (virgin, drag-along, deja-vu, proxy, hashcard, frozen, meet-up, midnight, water...) which I've moved to a separate page.

I'm particularly looking for opportunities for these in the future:

a [[Border geohash]] in the Czech Republic, more [[Geohash By Proxy|Proxy Geohash]] variants, [[MNIMB Geohash]], [[Consecutive Geohash]], more [[Meet-Up Achievement]]s, [[Origin Geohash]], [[Tron achievement]].
