The internet is much smaller than some people think. Isn't geohashing fun? -Robyn 19:59, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

You seem to be so right with both statements. I can just guess towards the smallness of the internet in this particular case, but keep my guessing quiet as to the 'Do I know you from somewhere' possibilities...

Jeez, your hashing-grounds are in one of the most beautiful areas I know. I only happen to be there every three or four years, i.e. statistics say my next visit is in 2010 or something.

Also, I just found one of your images...

... that might be put to use in something like an "On Stage Achievement" (Luky Geohash category?), i.e. the spot being where you're playing. It might really be quite hard to earn it, as I would not count good ol' campfire guitar playing. There should at least be a flyer or something before the date that the hashing coordinates are known. Heck, I should have checked Holland's coordinates last weekend, I might even have earned it. -zb

I was thinking that that image would suit a Making Music Geohash, where the geohasher participated in singing, playing a musical instrument, or dancing to said music at the geohash location, regardless of whether it was on stage or in the middle of the woods. The image is of course not really mine. It's from an xkcd comic and I just clipped it out and uploaded it. -Robyn 21:16, 4 October 2008 (UTC) (a.k.a you know who)

I get it. I still like the idea of an On Stage Achievement, though, so maybe an acousitic guitar might be best for the Making Music Geohash cause campfire playing might be the most typical thing when gathering at a spot somewhere, and the icon above might be good for the On Stage Achievement as the depicted instrument looks much like a Fender Jazz bass not found in nature too often. -zb

But it would be majorly cool to play electric guitar in the middle of nowhere with a solar-powered amp. A couple of lucky geohashes that are really unlikely like the stripclub one just got removed from the main achievements page, so I don't think it's a good idea to add more unlikely ones. I suppose the same award could count for either.

True. Considering my very lazy geohashing activity since summer, I should not vote for making things too hard and better just do more normal gehohashes, let alone strange lucky achievements. -zb

I like your userpage photo. Kind of electric ninja.

I fear that one day all my stuff will form an alliance and play tricks on me, similar to the story in this Notwist video

So... are we gonna do this? If so, when exactly? 16:00? Anyone else coming? (I'm still undecided... it's a 20€ trip after all.) --dawidi 09:17, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
