I live in Winchester. I am most likely to be found geohashing in the [[50,-1|Southampton]], [[51,-1|Swindon]], [[50,-2|Weymouth]] or [[51,-0|London West]] graticules. I holiday in [[Köln, Germany]] once or twice a year, so i'll always be on the look out for the opportunity to geohash in Germany whilst i'm there!

Hello! I'm aimee. I used to live in Winchester, UK, but in autumn 2018 i moved to [[55,12|Copenhagen]]. I am grateful to [[User:Macronencer|Macronencer]] for reminding me that geohashing is a thing, and excited that it may get me out visiting parts of Denmark that i wouldn't otherwise see.

<br /><br />
* I use linux and mac osx and i will very likely use google chrome OS whenever it is available. windows can die.
 
* I now have an Android phone. Google is totally rocking my world at the moment!
 
* I've been typing on dvorak keyboard layout since around 2005.
 
* I'm a bit of a typography geek. Let's just say i can tell the difference between Helvetica and Arial. One i love and one i hate. But not as much as i hate Comic Sans, which seems to pop up almost everywhere i go!
 
* I'm a web programmer by profession and hobby.
 
* I am currently writing an application called [http://github.com/sermoa/active_geohasher Active Geohasher] which will allow you to subscribe to graticules and be notified of their locations by daily email.
 
* I made my own google pin which i take to most geohashes.
 
* I love geohashing because it encourages me to visit places that i would not otherwise get to see. the fact that it's entirely random does not seem to matter to me!
 
* I have grown to love mediawiki through using this wiki!

== Helping visitors to the geohashing wiki ==
 
 
[[Image:2009-09-27_50_-1_3581.JPG | thumb | right | The poster used at [[2009-09-27 50 -1]] which generated a response. I am still in the process of refining the format.]]
 
 
I am very keen to make the geohashing wiki as easy as possible for members of the public to use to interact with us weird and wonderful geohashers! I like to leave a poster at the geohash where possible, and on [[2009-09-27 50 -1]] i experimented with a more detailed poster, in combination with a callout box on the wiki expedition page inviting people to comment on the talk page. I added instructions for the easiest way to leave a comment, explaining that you don't have to be registered on the wiki. The result was, we got a message from some kids who had seen us putting up the poster!
 
 
Encouraged by this success, [[User:Davidc|davidc]] made a template which i have now added to my other expedition pages where i left markers. I would encourage other people to do the same, because it is great to have feedback from general members of the public!
 
 
* Use <nowiki>{{Advert}}</nowiki> at the top of your expedition page.
 
* Create the Talk page for the expedition and use <nowiki>{{AdvertTalk}}</nowiki> to provide instructions.
 
* Generate a short URL for the expedition page using [http://bit.ly bit.ly] or [http://tinyurl.com tinyurl.com].
 
* Customise the short URL to avoid any ambiguity of numbers that could be mistaken for letters.
 
* Create a QR (Quick Response) code of the short URL for mobile devices at [http://qrcode.kaywa.com/ qrcode.kaywa.com].
 
* Add the short URL and the QR code to a poster which you leave at the geohash.
 
 
The QR code is for mobile devices to scan. It's best to use the short URL because then the QR code is smaller and easier to scan. It's also good to use the small size setting, especially if you're putting it on a lamp-post. If it's too big, it will curve too much and the devices won't be able to scan it. I made this mistake once.
 
 
It would be really good to have a mobile version of the geohashing wiki. When you visit Wikipedia on a mobile there is a special version optimized for small screens. Ours is not like this - it's much harder to read. Maybe all we need is a different stylesheet. I'll look into it.

Hello! I'm aimee. I used to live in Winchester, UK, but in autumn 2018 i moved to Copenhagen. I am grateful to Macronencer for reminding me that geohashing is a thing, and excited that it may get me out visiting parts of Denmark that i wouldn't otherwise see.

🇩🇰 Jeg kan også snakke dansk! 🇩🇰

Map of geohashes

a map of Sermoa's xkcd geohashes (green for coordinates reached; red for coordinates not reached)

I have been on 21 geohashes in 6 graticules and met 14 other geohashers.
