Introduction

Warning: May contain nuts.

Ekorren - that's the european brown squirrel, scientifically sciurus vulgaris. Jumps around, collects various stuff, hides things and never finds all of it again.

I found the link to geohashing on some geocaching forum. Ok, I thought, so there's something even more crazy, so let's try it ;) Then I read all of the past XKCD comics and suddenly felt at home. Given that my list of regularily read webcomics is all but short there's really no excuse that I didn't find XKCD earlier.

For a spontanous expedition bicycle will be the only reasonable mode of transport for me, so I'm somehow restricted to the nearer surroundings of my home coordinates which are roughly N 48°31' E 9°3', as well as weather-restricted. Though, the first geohash I visited was far away from home...

by visiting coordinates in Stuttgart, Germany and 2 of the surrounding graticules.
Centurion0.png
 Ekorren earned the xkcd Nullaturion achievement
by attending 3 Saturday meetups.


For the following achievements the rules had to be stretched a bit, usually because of insufficient proof. I put the ribbons here anyway but don't insist on counting them, and will definitely try to replace them.

Dejavu.png
 Ekorren knows he earned the Déjà Vu Geohash Achievement
by reaching the (48, 9) geohash on 2008-11-18, and previously on several occasions, but the proof is a bit weak.
2008-11-18-48-9-Path.jpg

Template:Mnimb geohash

I can't decide whether 2008-11-29_48_9 and 2008-12-12_48_9 qualify for a MNIMB. They were both made difficult by snow, ice, and a terrain that provides generally no easy trails. After careful examination I came to the conclusion that they beat some of the existing MNIMB hashes but are themselves still beaten by quite a number of others which leave me humble and in awe. I'll take the ribbon for now.

Tools

I run another of those online hashing tools, built to contain everything important on a glance and work on virtually every device not entirely uncapable of browsing. See here.
