Me

I'm the long-suffering geohash-widower of Robyn.

My home graticule is Vancouver, British Columbia (see today's point on the peeron map). Meetups in this graticule: meetups.

My notifications.

Achievements

My goal is to maintain a ratio of ribbons:attempts greater than 1. I have reached that goal. I may now safely quit geohashing.

Attempts

(newest first)

• 2013-01-18 49 -123 (Vancouver, British Columbia): A simple geohash by the side of the road turned out to be not so simple after all. Success!
