Revision as of 21:20, 6 September 2009

While my first time and cooler achievements will remain on my main user page, I thought I'd create a page to log all of my achievements. What can I say? I like the little ribbons! So thank you to everyone who created them. The achievements below are listed roughly in order of either coolness or numerosity.

Cool Achievements

Meeting People

xkcd Centurion

I have made progess toward earning the xkcd Centurion Achievement 1 time. I'd really like to meet people geohashing, but I typically geohash in areas where there just aren't a lot of geohashers. I'm hoping I might meet someone in either the Lansing or Detroit, Michigan, graticules sometime soon.

excellentdude earned the xkcd Nullaturion achievement

by attending 1 Saturday meetup.

Cold Geohash

I have earned the Cold Geohash 1 time. Living where I do, maybe next winter I'll garner this achievement once again at an even lower temperature!

excellentdude earned the Cold geohash achievement

by reaching the (43, -84) geohash on 2009-01-14 while the temperature was -2°F/-18.9°C.

Repetitive Geohashing

Consecutive Geohashes

I have earned the Consecutive Geohash 2 times. I'll likely grab a few more of these, because clearly I like to geohash in my spare time!

excellentdude earned the Consecutive geohash achievement

by reaching 3 consecutive hash points starting on 2009-04-10.

excellentdude earned the Consecutive geohash achievement

by reaching 2 consecutive hash points starting on 2009-02-07.

Multihash

I have earned the Multihash 2 times. Sometimes I'm feeling really gung ho, and other times the geohashing gods are smiling on me when they bestow their coordinates upon us and I can't help but to go more than one place. I'm eying at least another one of these sometime in the future on a Saturday going up and down lower Michigan's west coast.

excellentdude earned the Multihash Achievement

by reaching the 2009-01-08 42 -84 and 2009-01-08 41 -83 geohashes on 2009-01-08.

Minesweeper Geohashes

Virgin Geohashes

I always get a good feeling geohashing a graticule that's never been hashed in before. Not only am I someplace random seeing something that's probably new to me, but I'm seeing it in a place that's new to the sport!

Outright Virgin Geohashes

I have earned the Virgin Geohash outright 6 times. Template:Virgin graticule Template:Virgin graticule Template:Virgin graticule Template:Virgin graticule Template:Virgin graticule Template:Virgin graticule

Upgraded Virgin Geohash

I have earned the upgraded Virgin Geohash 1 time. Sometimes someone claims to have geohashed in a graticule, but they don't really have the proof. Then I come along, and I get the proof. Template:Virgin graticule

Normal Achievements

Public Transport Geohashes

I have earned the Public Transport Geohash 1 time. The public bus system where I live is pretty nice for a community of its size, but it's pretty inefficient travel if you have to transfer, especially if you must do so more than once. Given the limited range and the time constraints of the bus system, I will probably earn this ribbon fairly rarely while I live here.

excellentdude earned the Public transport geohash achievement

by reaching the (42, -84) geohash on 2009-01-08 via CATA.

Speed Racer Geohashes

I have earned the Speed Racer Geohash 4times. I love driving, and I don't get to do it as much as I used to. So I enjoy these geohashes more than most. Considered lazy geohashing by some, it still allows me to get out and see what's around, which is a big part of why I geohash!

excellentdude earned the Speed racer achievement

by passing through the (41, -83) geohash on 2009-01-08 at the maximum legal speed.

Frozen Geohashes

I have earned the Frozen Geohash 7 times. Let's face it: I live in Michigan. I'm probably going to earn quite a few of these if I decide to geohash at all between October and April!

Ambassador Geohashes

I have earned the Ambassador Geohash 5 times. If the hash is not in a public place and there are houses near the hash, I always try to earn this achievement before proceeding to the hash. If there is a no trespassing sign posted, I'll always give asking for permission a shot. If they say "no" or aren't there, I leave. If they say "yes", I geohash!

Land Geohashes

I have earned the Land Geohash 27 times. Thus far, every geohash I have completed has been a land geohash. I hope to change that at some point. The facts that I don't own a boat, have never been much of a mariner, and don't see myself ever learning to fly seem to point to the land geohash streak never ending. That said, I do live in Michigan for the time being, so there's water everywhere, and maybe I can catch a hash just offshore at some point!
