I'm into [http://www.openstreetmap.org Openstreetmap] and [http://www.geocaching.com/profile/default.aspx?guid=38aa57bb-1393-4312-8293-3f8a00a6b271 Geocaching] also; these combine well with Geohashing expeditions.

I was a very active [http://www.openstreetmap.org Openstreetmap] mapper (back in 2007, when Regensburg almost completely missing on their map) and I've been a moderately, but constantly active [http://www.geocaching.com/profile/default.aspx?guid=38aa57bb-1393-4312-8293-3f8a00a6b271 Geocacher] since 2006; these combine well with Geohashing expeditions.

I now rather frequently visit hashpoints on any day (or during the night, if necessary) if I find the time, and the coordinates happen to be reachable from Regensburg by bicycle, including the corners of the neighbor graticules:

I visited a lot of hashpoints in 2009, which was an amazing year - to a great extent thanks to geohashing expeditions and the people that accompanied me there. Since then my enthusiasm has faded a bit, so my weekend plans are no longer ruled by the DJIA, but I'm still looking for ones that would make for good day trips, and trying to at least pay a short visit to those hashpoints that are "too close not to go", which for me means that they're reachable from Regensburg by bicycle, including the corners of the neighbor graticules:

I have also been seen in [[User:Dawidi/Graticules|other graticules]] across central Europe a few times, due to vacations and dedicated geohashing trips.
  
 
I can be found idling around in #geohashing most of the time, and I've built a program to generate [[Maps and Statistics]] about graticules and expeditions on the wiki.

Paraplane launch
Lol-asg.png 42 / m / 49,12

I work as a database programmer and multi-purpose geek in the "IT-Speicher" in Regensburg, Germany, and toy around with infrared thermography, unconventional r/c aircraft, aerial photography, and some other odd digital photography techniques in my free time.

I do have a website but for the moment it is horribly outdated.

I was a very active Openstreetmap mapper (back in 2007, when Regensburg almost completely missing on their map) and I've been a moderately, but constantly active Geocacher since 2006; these combine well with Geohashing expeditions.

I visited a lot of hashpoints in 2009, which was an amazing year - to a great extent thanks to geohashing expeditions and the people that accompanied me there. Since then my enthusiasm has faded a bit, so my weekend plans are no longer ruled by the DJIA, but I'm still looking for ones that would make for good day trips, and trying to at least pay a short visit to those hashpoints that are "too close not to go", which for me means that they're reachable from Regensburg by bicycle, including the corners of the neighbor graticules:

Nürnberg 49 11 Regensburg 49 12
München 48 11 Landshut 48 12

I have also been seen in other graticules across central Europe a few times, due to vacations and dedicated geohashing trips.

I can be found idling around in #geohashing most of the time, and I've built a program to generate Maps and Statistics about graticules and expeditions on the wiki.
