Hi JimL, as you know, your graticule was the site of the the very [[2008-02-19 45 -122|first geohashing expedition]] but there is some controversy around the photo, and not complete certainty that they did the coordinates for the 19th on the 19th. They LOOK right from the satellite view, but I wonder if your graticule could, sometimes as a project, go to the February 19th site and try to recreate the photo. Sometimes when you're in the area anyway. Maybe I'll come down and help. -[[User:Robyn|Robyn]] 06:53, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

::It isn't just content that has to move. There are internal wiki structures that need to be fixed.  The Moveuser does the right
 
stuff.
 
 
 
NOOOO!  Benjw! NOOO!  MOVE!  Don't listen to him JimL, do what I told you. -[[User:Robyn|Robyn]] 17:03, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 
 
 
Wait, what? It didn't work?  Hmm, were you logged in? -[[User:Robyn|Robyn]] 17:04, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 
 
 
Um, crap, now look what I did.  Sorry, sorry. I thought something had changed when you said that you couldn't move the page, so I wanted to see the error message for myself, so I tried moving it, and look, it moved. But I see that you still need Joannac to fix the registered user bit. Please forgive me for messing up your user page. -[[User:Robyn|Robyn]] 17:09, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 
:I'm not going to laugh... honest!  Remember - always listen to Robyn; she knows best.  :-D  -- [[User:Benjw|Benjw]] 17:13, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

The problem is there are all sorts of wiki resources tagged with the username, AND even with the move, I'd have to
 
login as "JimL", but my userpage would be "Jiml".  [[User:JimL|JimL]] 19:06, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 
 
 
Dear Robyn, I expected better from you. Stop messing up userpages :P
 
  
JimL: I replied to you, but I'll put it here for everyone else's knowledge. While there is a MoveUser function for other wiki systems, it is only an extension for mediawiki and hence not installed. We have had a few users want to move so far, but not enough for me to want to petition the wiki backend guy to install it (because he is '''SCARY'''). --[[User:Joannac|joannac]] 21:41, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Sounds reasonableMaybe some inaccessible weekend.  [[User:Jiml|Jiml]] 18:09, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 
 
:Hahahaha! So he has to MOVE the userpage to Jiml (personally I prefer JimL), register the username Jiml and tyhen petition you to delete JimL? And I'm so sorry not to have met your expectations. I pledge to never edit anyone's userpage but mine ever again. And mine only under extreme duress. Or when I geohash, win a ribbon, change my plans, or am really bored. -[[User:Robyn|Robyn]] 05:15, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 
 
 
::NOOOOOOOOOO. Who would comment and make things better then? (besides benjw, who should be renamed benjwBot for his editing dedication). But in short, keep editing. I trust the other northern hemispherers to keep you in line ;) --[[User:Joannac|joannac]] 05:18, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 
:::She's too far north for most of us to keep in lineAnd up north there all those vertical lines get REALLY close together. :-)
 
::::I claim superior northness. :-P  But I still don't claim to be able to keep Robyn in line.  I think that's one of those theoretical concepts that's never actually been observed.  Perhaps CERN will find a Robyn boson.  -- [[User:Benjw|Benjw]] 15:18, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 
:::::Just to be on the safe side, I'll go seven graticules north of here. -[[User:Robyn|Robyn]] 16:16, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 
::::::That would do it.  But I would be impressed if you actually get any internets up there, so it might work for keeping you in line as well... :-P  -- [[User:Benjw|Benjw]] 16:23, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

New Stuff, Totally Unrelated to my Messing Up your User Page Stuff

Hi JimL, as you know, your graticule was the site of the the very first geohashing expedition but there is some controversy around the photo, and not complete certainty that they did the coordinates for the 19th on the 19th. They LOOK right from the satellite view, but I wonder if your graticule could, sometimes as a project, go to the February 19th site and try to recreate the photo. Sometimes when you're in the area anyway. Maybe I'll come down and help. -Robyn 06:53, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Sounds reasonable. Maybe some inaccessible weekend. Jiml 18:09, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
