41 / m / 26,-80

I will be relocating to Portland, Oregon at the beginning of September. I will live very close to the western border, so will likely go hashing in McMinnville, Oregon just as much as Portland. In the mean time, I doubt I will get the chance to go hashing again, since I am busy getting ready for the move now.

My rules for attending geohashes:

I can't really do a whole lot until after I move. I will go if one is close, though.

Geohashes Attended

I usually have more pictures from the expedition, and have higher res versions of all the ones on the site, just ask.

Achievements

These are arranged by color coding first, and alphabetically by achievement name second. I will only claim an achievement once with the following exceptions:

Minesweeper - Only one per "region". Preferably none of the graticules will overlap between two claims of this.
Virgin - If I get it for the graticule, I will take it
Meet-up - If I meet someone new, they will get a ribbon. Everyone on the expedition where I meet someone new will be listed.

Possibly more to come to this list.

Template:No tresspassing geohash

Aperfectring earned the Speed racer achievement

by passing through the (26, -80) geohash on 2008-12-06 at the maximum legal speed.

Template:Virgin graticule

Aperfectring earned the Meet-up achievement

by meeting Dtobias and Million zillion at the (25, -80) geohash on 2009-06-28.

Aperfectring earned the First Sip GeoSquishy Achievement

by enjoying a slushy carbonated beverage at the (26, -80) geohash on 2008-12-06.

Aperfectring earned the Land geohash achievement

by reaching the (26, -80) geohash on 2008-07-18.

Aperfectring earned the Admit One Achievement

by paying $30 (US) to access the (26, -80) geohash at Lion Country Safari on 2008-12-06.

Template:Mnb geohash

Aperfectring achieved level 1 of the Minesweeper Geohash achievement

by visiting coordinates in Palm Beach, Florida and 1 of the surrounding graticules.

I now have 4 points, for obtaining a squishy ~1.5km away from hash point on 2008-12-06.

Injury

I stupidly injured myself in the Dallas airport, so I probably won't go hashing for a while, unless it requires relatively little walking. Pic (warning, graphic): [1]

My injury is still present, preventing me from doing anything like running, but it doesn't really hinder me otherwise.

Projects

I am maintaining the Notification program, notes here: User:Aperfectring/Notification

I am working on a bot to automate the creation of the list of upcoming geohashing expeditions.

Statistics

Updated 2009-07-23. This table is for all hashpoints since inception.

Graticule	Average Elevation (ft)	Standard Deviation of Elevation (ft)
Palm Beach, Florida	11.34	5.52
Portland, Oregon	979.63	1015.59
McMinnville, Oregon	853.50	616.09

-I will be relocating to [[Portland, Oregon]] in the coming months, and may be up there to scope things out periodically.  In the mean time, I would really like to get a meetup while still in the [[Palm Beach, Florida]] graticule, so that we can make the [[Meetup graph]] more connected.

 My rules for attending geohashes:
-Weekday - Assuming I don't have to work late, I will be available to go geohashing between 6 and 7PM.  I will be willing to attempt any potential meetup from Boca Raton southwards.  For these I will go home first, and have my GPS.  I will also be willing to make a detour and go north as far as Boynton, maybe even Lake Worth, but will not be going home first, so I will not have my GPS.
+I can't really do a whole lot until after I move.  I will go if one is close, though.
-Weekend - If accessible, and there is a potential for a meetup, I will attempt it.  I am willing to drive, if it is a long distance.

-===Potential future projects===
-It has been suggested that we use a bot to create a list of all graticules which have had a successful geohash.  This is desired so that people will know which graticules they can claim the Virgin Graticule achievement for.  I will consider working on this in the future, but for the time being I get the impression that my current bot project is of a higher priority.  --[[User:Aperfectring|aperfectring]] 19:35, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
