Hi there Jevanyn, thanks for the message!
:It's related to the current spam issue. Peggy is a character in a commercial similar to the "people" creating accounts here for the purpose of spamming us. BTW, you're not logged in :-) -- [[User:Jevanyn|Jevanyn]] 11:53, 26 September 2011 (EDT)
 
  
== GPS Walkabout ==

I'm not active, I just tried to reach a few hashpoints back in 2010 and then forgot about the site, so the mail notification about your message came up as a surprise. Maybe I'll add "reaching a hashpoint" to my list of things to do in 2014 :). [[User:Ivan|Ivan]] ([[User talk:Ivan|talk]]) 15:47, 5 January 2014 (EST)
  
What was the weather like for your expedition on [[2012-01-21 40 -74]]? I have noticed the GPS walkabout you described during windy weather with big clouds which act like lenses for the satellite signals. It also seems to happen when there are layers of air at different temperatures like a weather front or a sea breeze. In this case the air acts like a giant prism. I have mentioned this strange effect on my expedition of [[2011-05-21 52 1]]. [[User:Sourcerer|Sourcerer]] 11:51, 23 January 2012 (EST)

I didn't think I had any chance of breaking the Atlanta 2009 most active record with 57% land and 43% ocean and only 28 days.

I usually get at least one winter illness but this year I escaped. All but one of the land geohashes were reachable. Towards the end of the month it did get quite exciting as the tension built - could it be done? Did I have fun? Oh yes!

Re: Maps

Hi there Jevanyn, thanks for the message!

I'm not active, I just tried to reach a few hashpoints back in 2010 and then forgot about the site, so the mail notification about your message came up as a surprise. Maybe I'll add "reaching a hashpoint" to my list of things to do in 2014 :). Ivan (talk) 15:47, 5 January 2014 (EST)

I don't even remember why I was looking at it. It must have been on one of the "special pages" lists. Do you know if the bot that auto-fills graticule pages is still running? It used to look for changes in "All Graticules" but that page is deprecated now. -- Jevanyn (talk) 08:41, 24 March 2014 (EDT)

Hackensack

Sorry, just saw this now. I'm definitely down though! What time did you have in mind? I also need to figure out how to best get there but I think I can handle that. Also, I wouldn't mind knocking on their door and going for the ambassador ribbon, if the circumstances seem right... -- OtherJack (talk) 12:47, 31 December 2014 (EST)

Pokemon Geohash

I also thought of this but in the context of "Pokemon! gotta catch'em all". This ribbon could be for a week, month or year. It would be awarded to a graticule where there was a successful expedition to every land geohash for the time period. Now we can all start arguing about the definition of a week! --Sourcerer (talk) 20:31, 16 February 2015 (EST)

In February, no less

I didn't think I had any chance of breaking the Atlanta 2009 most active record with 57% land and 43% ocean and only 28 days. On average, in a 31 day month 17 or 18 days would be land geohashes and not all of those would be reachable. I had an incredible run of luck and the sunniest and driest weather on record. I usually get at least one winter illness but this year I escaped. All but one of the land geohashes were reachable. Towards the end of the month it did get quite exciting as the tension built - could it be done? Did I have fun? Oh yes! And I hope it spurs other graticules to aim higher and outperform an overweight 61 year old. --Sourcerer (talk) 11:09, 10 March 2015 (EDT)

Looks like an expedition happened, even if it didn't have photos. Care to elucidate? Or are you saving this as Expedition 10000?  ;) --Thomcat (talk) 13:08, 14 April 2015 (EDT)

I have to see if I ever went back, or took a picture at all. I forgot I even did this one; it's not on my user page, so I'd have 100 instead of 99. And no, this expedition was way before I realized we were approaching 10K. --Jevanyn (talk) 16:30, 14 April 2015 (EDT)
