41 / m / 26,-80

My rules for attending geohashes:

Weekday - If it is on my way home from work without much of a detour, or within a 2 mi. of home. I will attempt these hashes sometime between 6 and 7 PM local time, and will note this on the Palm Beach graticule page.

Saturday - I will attempt the meet for 4PM local time unless otherwise noted on the graticule page.

Sunday - I will NOT attempt any geohashes on Sundays. This is my day for getting work done at home, or for the rare relaxing.

Geohashes Attended

I usually have more pictures from the expedition, and have higher res versions of all the ones on the site, just ask.

Achievements

Template:No tresspassing geohash

Aperfectring earned the Speed racer achievement

by passing through the (26, -80) geohash on 2008-12-06 at the maximum legal speed.

Template:Virgin graticule

Aperfectring earned the First Sip GeoSquishy Achievement

by enjoying a slushy carbonated beverage at the (26, -80) geohash on 2008-12-06.

Aperfectring earned the Land geohash achievement

by reaching the (26, -80) geohash on 2008-07-18.

Aperfectring earned the Admit One Achievement

by paying $30 (US) to access the (26, -80) geohash at Lion Country Safari on 2008-12-06.

Template:Mnb geohash

I now have 4 points, for obtaining a squishy ~1.5km away from hash point on 2008-12-06.

Injury

I stupidly injured myself in the Dallas airport, so I probably won't go hashing for a while, unless it requires relatively little walking. Pic (warning, graphic): [1]

Projects

I am maintaining the Notification program, notes here: User:Aperfectring/Notification

I am working on a bot to automate the creation of the list of upcoming geohashing expeditions.

Potential future projects

It has been suggested that we use a bot to create a list of all graticules which have had a successful geohash. This is desired so that people will know which graticules they can claim the Virgin Graticule achievement for. I will consider working on this in the future, but for the time being I get the impression that my current bot project is of a higher priority. --aperfectring 19:35, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
