I work as a database programmer and multi-purpose geek in Regensburg, Germany. Back when Geohashing started, I was toying around with infrared thermography, unconventional r/c aircraft, aerial photography, and some other odd digital photography techniques; currently I'm mostly into vintage computing and... just busy fixing electric/electronic things in general. I do seem to have started a small collection of vintage Garmin GPS receivers as well...
I do have a website but haven't updated the public-facing parts of it in over a decade.
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 one or two hashpoints a year 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. I've built a program to generate Maps and Statistics about graticules and expeditions on the wiki but it broke years ago and won't be fixed.
