Lol-asg.png 44 / f / 51,-1

I live in Winchester. I don't have a car so i'm reliant upon public transport, which makes geohashing much harder.

Every Friday i look to see if i can get to a meetup in either the Southampton or Swindon graticule.


About me

I'm a web programmer.

xkcd love

Macronencer asked me when i first got into xkcd and i didn't know. I honestly couldn't remember. I know i was already reading Sinfest and i have a feeling that one led to the other ...

Fortunately the xkcd urls are easy enough to do a quick binary search, and now i think i have an answer. Xkcd first caught my attention with Online Communities and i think i started reading regularly from Compiling onwards. So i guess around about mid-2007.

Successful hashes
