Nice to hear from you! I remember seeing one of your expedition pictures of your GPS, and being incredibly confused as to how my GPS got all the way into the interior.
 
 
 
I don't think I'll be able to make it out this weekend, but I do hope we run into each other eventually! I'll make sure to shave too. The beard can be your thing! :D [[User:Thepiguy|Thepiguy]] 05:31, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 
 
 
Saw your comment on thepiguy's talk page and followed you here. I hope you keep geohashing because between the three of us we are going to get this province covered, and some day you're going to hack your way into the middle of nasty bush and discover that I'm there with a plastic raptor, claiming the First Geohasher award, at last! -[[User:Robyn|Robyn]] 06:24, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 
 
 
Hey, looks like you uploaded photos for [[2008-09-14 49 -122]] but never edited the page. Care to share your story? Did you do this one solo - and therefore qualify for [[Last Man Standing]]? --[[User:Thomcat|Thomcat]] 14:40, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 
 
 
"Drorca" is Janna, the other member of the expedition. Feel free to edit the images to a smaller size if it will be helpful. -- [[User:Sethant|Sethant]] 23:33, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 
 
 
 
 
Thanks for the encouragement! I am disappointed in this weekend's hashpoints (as usual) so I'm still waiting for something to come up. I enjoy reading about your adventures. I went through the parts of BC where you has last summer and it brings back great memories. I have a lot of family there too, and seeing your wonderful photos reminds me of them (aunt in Kamloops, aunt in New Denver, parents in Creston).
 
 
 
Keep hashing and posting your awesome photos! [[User:Meghan|Meghan]] 16:17, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

:Well now you're just making fun of meOutdoing me in my own graticule.. the shame! Were you leaving a meetup to chance? I generally don't even check weekdays because of work. However, the week you were here I was actually away in a location with no wi-fi/cellular. I'm somewhat surprised by your luck with coordinates, of course when I see coordinates in a developed area I often skip out.  [http://irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html?date=2010-07-11&lat=50&long=-119 Sunday] was in a very neat location, but I didn't manage to get out. -[[User:Juventas|Juventas]] 03:28, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. One of the parameters was misspelled. It's fixed now. -- [[User:relet|relet]] 09:15, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

You know better than to link to the Main Page until your expedition report is ready.  Even if you create the expedition report right afterwards, the red link remains, because of the way the update works. Put this back when you have a report written. -[[User:Robyn|Robyn]] 06:29, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 
 
 
:I honestly wasn't aware that the order mattersI created those "starter" expedition pages with Joanna in mind. Did the one from the previous day also create this problem? [[User:Juventas|Juventas]] 18:26, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 
 
 
== KML and where to discuss it. ==
 
 
 
I think that's a good idea. We would have to ask either Randall or zigdon for changing the mediawiki configuration iirc. You can discuss such general topics at Talk:Main page, for example. -- [[User:relet|relet]] 07:41, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 
 
 
==Why is botany link not working?==
 
 
 
It's a bit of wiki magic. When you say <nowiki>"[[Category:Flora]]"</nowiki>, that displays nothing, and puts the page in the category (as you can see at the bottom of the page). To actually link to the category page, add a colon in front, so: <nowiki>"[[:Category:Flora]]"</nowiki>. --[[User:Starbird|starbird]] 05:26, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

My apologies -- I hadn't realised "[[2009-06-07 49 -122|honouray]]" would be in your dictionary.  It isn't in mine.  -- [[User:Benjw|Benjw]] 05:20, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 
:No apology necessary.  Either is valid, I was just curious what your response would be.  "Honour" is a British spelling that carried over to Canadian English.  The thing that perplexes me is that you live in the UK!  Even in your reply you used "realised" (British) instead of "realized" (American). [[User:Juventas|Juventas]] 05:39, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 
::Look a bit more closely.  The word I corrected was "honouRAY" (my capitals to emphasise the bit which is definitely wrong, whether or not you put a 'u' in it).  And in any case, in British English you still spell it "honorary" without the 'u' (similarly, honorific and honorarium), even though you spell honour and honourable with the 'u'My dictionary (Oxford English) doesn't list "honourary" at all, even as a Canadian variant.  -- [[User:Benjw|Benjw]] 12:04, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 
:::Ack, I'm the sorry one. Obviously "honouray" is plain wrong. "Honourary", however, is very interesting. I could not find it in any dictionary either.  Yet, it is published in major media (CBC, BBC, etc.) and by academics (University of Windsor has an "Honourary Accounting Society").

You left [[2009-06-20 49 -122]] without saying goodbye! Anyway, it was nice to meet you. :) [[User:Elbie|- Elbie]] 04:41, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 
 
 
:Aww shucks.  When we left I was unsure who was riding in the car, or if we would be seeing anyone again at Lassam's.  Even though I skipped out on the abduction, you still thought to write a message here.  In some ways reading your expeditions has told me more about you than standing in a ditch with you for a few minutes, but nonetheless, it was nice to meet you too.  I don't think it will be the last time.

Actually, it's not mine but [[User:Euterkuh|Euterkuh's]]. We've only used it to take photos so far, but maybe it would be a good idea to record some video at the next expedition :) [[User:Fivetonsofflax|Fivetonsofflax]] 00:23, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Vernon is leading in the Most active graticules race for July 2010! -Robyn 18:46, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Well now you're just making fun of me. Outdoing me in my own graticule.. the shame! Were you leaving a meetup to chance? I generally don't even check weekdays because of work. However, the week you were here I was actually away in a location with no wi-fi/cellular. I'm somewhat surprised by your luck with coordinates, of course when I see coordinates in a developed area I often skip out. Sunday was in a very neat location, but I didn't manage to get out. -Juventas 03:28, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
