Bout Me

36 / f / 52,13

I'm Janila from Berlin, Germany and have been a reader of xkcd for quite a while but just happened to stumble over geohashing July 2009. I'm a Math student at Humboldt university, and and don't have much time for geohashing during the semester :(

At the moment, I'm in Canada in the Toronto graticule for an exchange year at the University of Toronto till June 2011.

Bout the Nick

No, I don't just deem myself awfully important and heroic (well, only sometimes ^^) - I just think Neal Stephenson is a really great author
