No-one carves squirrels, do they?

Disclaimer: Not as fun in real life.

Someone said to me the other day 'You do that stupid hashing thing?' I had to explain that no, I didn't, I was a geoCACHER. Then I thought, hey, what's to stop me, so here I am.

Geohashing in the Adelaide graticules and on the irc channel for almost a week now. Some day I'll get around to making my userpage as fancy as relet's, until then, meh.

Are you in Adelaide and feel like a midnight hash? Drop me a line on the wiki or in the irc channel (I'm generally around, or you can leave a message with some of the regulars), and I'm almost guaranteed to be up for it. I might not even eat you.
