About me

Lol-asg.png 24 / m / 49,8

I live in Heidelberg, Germany and will mainly try to reach hashpoints by bike or foot (I like running long distances). If reachable by train, I might also go (and already have been) to hashpoints further away from my home.

Geohashing goals for the future (more or less sorted by probability of success):

Wiki Stuff

I like drawing xkcd-ish images for achievement ribbons. See my gallery of achievement images. I keep looking out for newly created achievements that need a ribbon image, and for old images that could be improved.

To-Do List

Graticule pages: Currently working on Dubai, UAE, Muscat, Oman, Dammam, Saudi Arabia and adjacent graticules. Also trying to name the Arabian Peninsula graticules for the All Graticules list. (Not easy, since Google Maps makes agonizing mistakes, like calling the capital of Qatar Ad Dawhah, what is actually only the name of the municipality the real capital, Doha, is located in. The equivalent would be claiming that Lazio is the capital of Italy.)
