My portal My oregon trail log

2009-06-05 45 -123 005.jpg

I have relocated to Portland, Oregon. I live very close to the western border of the graticule, so will likely go hashing in McMinnville, Oregon just about as much as Portland.

Now that I finally have internets access at home again: My rules for attending geohashes:

  • Workdays (weekdays, not including holidays and vacation) - So long as light holds out, I will make attempts which are near 45.5,-123 (within 10-15 miles), and seem to be decently accessible. I will be making these attempts after work, so won't be free before 5PM, and may not be free before sunset at all.
  • Non-work weekdays - I will judge on a case-by-case basis. I'll try to be there at official meetup time, unless another one is scheduled.
  • Saturdays - I will do my best to make attempts for the official meetup time.
  • Sundays - Probably no geohashing, unless a very compelling location comes up.


Geohashes Attended

I usually have more pictures from the expedition, and usually 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.

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 not really present anymore.

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
