Grat naming

Hi Alistair, welcome the geohashing :) I just edited your page so the link to your graticule now works; we have a naming convention for graticules, and a lot of them are named already. You can find out what graticules are called by going to the map tool and clicking on your grat - if the grat is named it will appear on the top right. Good luck with your expeditions, and feel free to come visit #geohashing or leave a note on my tak page if you need any help. --joannac 19:59, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Hey Alastair! I'm just over in Lansing, so maybe we'll see each other out there some time! --excellentdude 22:33, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Gee, thanks guys. I didn't think anyone would really notice that I had made an account, especially someone from Australia. This graticule seems pretty dead right now, but I'm hoping to make at least one winter hash. I don't plan on going to any too far away right now but once it gets warmer I'm going to try to make nearby hashes by bike and a few that are further away by car. Hopefully I'll see you around, excellentdude. I was actually just in Lansing last week for a friend's birthday party. I had to drive out there during that really big snowstorm, it wasn't very fun. Maybe once it gets warmer though.

P.S. I have no idea if this was the correct way to respond to you guys. Should I be leaving comments on your talk pages? I guess I'll find out if I don't hear back... --Alastair 21:04, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
