Geohashing

G'day Joannac, welcome to the Canberra group. Psud has setup a mailing list for Canberra geohashers to organize car pooling, be sure to join! http://millie.adamhelp.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geohashing . There is also an IRC chatroom, #geohashing on irc.foonetic.net. Have fun :-) --Kieran 00:47, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

*stalk* --nobody

Hi :) I'm tired.

Anyway; things I'd like to see the dedicated ACT geohashing nerds try and accomplish:

• Try and find / stalk / photograph noted political figures.
• Try and find / photograph a drop bear.
• Try and find / pick death cap mushrooms.

Congratulations on accomplishing the first raptor geohash :)

PS: Did you guys claim the pub geohash achievement for that time you went to the pub? --Luke 06:38, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

No trespassing award

Thanks! --Psud 09:25, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

/me gives love to Joannac Anorak. Virginia

I love you too Virginia! moins que trois --Joanna 07:07, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

/me is impressed by your talk page. You're all popular and stuff! I wish I were that cool. --Ciel

/me is impressed by your spam removing mights. i happen to prove way too slow. --Tom 07:53, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Great minds think alike

I was editing *both* those pages to clean up, and you beat me to it. Huzzah!

Freeway Geohash

I've been cleaning up the achievements pages and made the Freeway Geohash go away because it seemed to be the same as the Speed racer achievement. But I see you've claimed both, so perhaps you see a difference. Would you like to defend it, or enlighten me? -Robyn 22:39, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

I see Speed Racer as "on a road, drive past at the speed limit" (so would apply on even tiny suburbia roads). Freeway hash means you have to be specifically on a freeway, and possibly stop in the breakdown lane to get a photo :) I don't care if it stays or not, I claimed it more because it was there. --Joannac 22:55, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough. So Freeway Geohash is a subcategory of Speed Racer. I guess if you were in a traffic jam on a freeway, or operating a vehicles incapable of the speed limit, you could get Freeway without Speed Racer. maybe I'll put it back. Thanks -Robyn 23:12, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

The Raptor and Picnic achievements have ribbons now, if you're interested.

Thanks for the encouragement!

Thanks! That means a lot coming from the Canberra region! And I know what you mean about the biking, there seems to be a lot of that going on in the part of Europe. Here's wishing you happy geohashing!

Spam games

Yours again. but now with a different behaviour. the system is strange, you are fast... --Tom 19:29, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Couch Potato

Wow, I would flip out if the geohash came that close to me. Congratulations! -Robyn 03:37, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Geohashing on IRC

Thanks for your help getting the typo on the map fixed, I didn't know how to "ping" Zigdon. --James 03:57, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Graticule template hack for UnwiseOwl

-	-	-
-	Joannac	-
-	Joannac	-
-	-	-

Usage:

{{graticule
|lat = 50
|lon = -1
|n = [[Swindon, United Kingdom]]
|sw = [[Channel Islands]]
}}

–	Swindon, United Kingdom	–
–	Graticule	–
Channel Islands	–	–
Today's location: geohashing.info google osm bing/os kml crox

Notes on usage:

• You don't have to include neighbors that don't exist. The template will automatically insert a "-" for absent neighbors.
• You can automatically abbreviate links using the magic pipe: insert a | character at the end of the bracketed text: [[Smalltown, USA|]] is magically transformed (at save time) to [[Smalltown, USA|Smalltown]].
• You can add a "| maponly = 1" if you just want the map without the links to the surrounding graticules.

All articles using this template should use wikilink brackets ([[ and ]]) to link to the other neighboring graticules. Please don't change this article to link automatically, since neighboring graticules might have unwieldy names that would make more sense to be shortened (ie by using "[[Minneapolis SW, Minnesota|Minneapolis SW]]"). Work has been done to change existing articles to link to neighbors by the template user and not by the template. Ironiridis 21:56, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Joannac, you are a priceless flower. UnwiseOwl
