I'm hoping to put some more detail on this page soon, but for starters I discovered Geohashing via the [http://code.google.com/p/geohashdroid/ T-Mobile G1 app] when searching for xkcd apps and it merges my fondness for experimental travel and xkcd. Perfect.

Introduction

I'm Mark and I live within the London West graticule.

I'm hoping to put some more detail on this page soon, but for starters I discovered Geohashing via the T-Mobile G1 app when searching for xkcd apps and it merges my fondness for experimental travel and xkcd. Perfect.

After weeks of joking and threats to friends I finally achieved (and failed) my virgin Hash Attempt on May 31, 2009 and have the appetite for more. Unwittingly I might have set a few hares running with the distance - more detail on my talk page and that of the attempt itself, linked below.

Ambitions

Outstanding ambitions

Being based in the corner hundredth of my graticule is a good opportunity to claim some early achievement scalps, so for starters I hope to achieve the following:

  • Multihash achievement, most likely in London East graticule when the latitude decimal is smaller than 0.1° and the longitude decimal is greater than 0.8° (approx once every fifty days)
  • Consecutive Geohash Achievement, probably when the hashpoint in Northampton is close, likely on days when the latitude decimal is less than 0.2° and the longitude decimal is smaller than 0.1° (again, approx once every fifty days)
  • Minesweeper achievement, probably by reaching both London East and Northampton
  • to defeat Mother Nature and earn the MNIMB achievement

Failed ambitions

I don't mind a bit of brutal honesty. What doesn't kill me will only make me stronger. These are things I'd planned to do but didn't

  • to not achieve the Mother Nature's Bitch consolation prize again before I've completed my 5th attempt (listed after #1 was a MNB)
