Geohashing

G'day Joannac, welcome to the Canberra group. Psud has setup a mailing list for Canberra geohashers to organize car pooling, be sure to join! http://millie.adamhelp.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geohashing . There is also an IRC chatroom, #geohashing on irc.foonetic.net. Have fun :-) --Kieran 00:47, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

*stalk* --nobody

Hi :) I'm tired.

Anyway; things I'd like to see the dedicated ACT geohashing nerds try and accomplish:

Try and find / stalk / photograph noted political figures.
Try and find / photograph a drop bear.
Try and find / pick death cap mushrooms.

Congratulations on accomplishing the first raptor geohash :)

PS: Did you guys claim the pub geohash achievement for that time you went to the pub? --Luke 06:38, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

I was editing *both* those pages to clean up, and you beat me to it. Huzzah!

Freeway Geohash

I've been cleaning up the achievements pages and made the Freeway Geohash go away because it seemed to be the same as the Speed racer achievement. But I see you've claimed both, so perhaps you see a difference. Would you like to defend it, or enlighten me? -Robyn 22:39, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

I see Speed Racer as "on a road, drive past at the speed limit" (so would apply on even tiny suburbia roads). Freeway hash means you have to be specifically on a freeway, and possibly stop in the breakdown lane to get a photo :) I don't care if it stays or not, I claimed it more because it was there. --Joannac 22:55, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough. So Freeway Geohash is a subcategory of Speed Racer. I guess if you were in a traffic jam on a freeway, or operating a vehicles incapable of the speed limit, you could get Freeway without Speed Racer. maybe I'll put it back. Thanks -Robyn 23:12, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

The Raptor and Picnic achievements have ribbons now, if you're interested.

Thanks for the encouragement!

Thanks! That means a lot coming from the Canberra region! And I know what you mean about the biking, there seems to be a lot of that going on in the part of Europe. Here's wishing you happy geohashing!
