Latest revision as of 02:48, 20 March 2024
This geohasher comes from Melbourne. |
/me is interesting...
Contents
tzzzt... there i are
AKA my home graticule
Melbourne, Australia (specifically, Melbourne East)
currently living in Leeds, UK
myka also lives in #geohashing a lot, when a computer is available (so usually).
Where I (might) go Hashing
Melbourne East - my home graticule
Melbourne West - the other half of Melbourne
Bendigo - my hometown, just next door as well.
Hashscot - possibly Fergus
I've designated a Hashscot (mascot), named possibly Fergus, to stand in for me in my hash report photos (at least on those occasions when I don't meet anyone). Its first hash was 2009-03-15 -36 144.
I have a Cunning Plan
I now have a car, and will try for some more interesting hash points as the time and opportunity presents itself. Anyone in the area should feel free to suggest a spontaneous adventure, and I can take passengers.
In fact, since I prefer to get out of the city on weekends, I will also go for some more interesting graticules as well.
List of things to have for the next time
This list will evolve as time progresses
Sunglasses - because I don't need flies in my eyes while cycling.- A
GPSorWAP- because either could let me use computer-ated mapology
- (now have wapness enabled, so there's something at least. problem is Google Maps Mobile has a 300m error margin when running off the towers)
- (now have a borrowed older and not so accurate GPS, yay!)
- A way to get tracks off the GPS
A car - because the trains in Melbourne... are not great.gots cara replacement the drink bottle holder on my bike.Another map than google to double-check addresses with.(I just need to bother)A camera, because my camera phone is only adequate, and far from good.A name for my hashscot.(possibly Fergus)- more - because I forget to write things down.
BIG things to aim for
- GlobalHash (well duh)
- Endurance Geohashing
- Globetrotters Geohash
- A hash in -37, 150 (Green Cape Lighthouse, Australia) (map) ... cos ... ya'know... seriously.
- Hash every Graticule in Victoria, Australia
- Hash every State in Australia
