I live in Winchester, but oddly enough i haven't yet managed to get to a geohash in my own graticule! I am most likely to be found geohashing in the Southampton, Swindon, Weymouth or London West graticules.


About me

me and my google pin
  • Real name: aimee.
  • I like to spell my name in lower case.
  • I use linux and mac osx and i will very likely use google chrome OS whenever it is available. windows can die.
  • I've been typing on dvorak keyboard layout since around 2005.
  • I'm a web programmer by profession and hobby.
  • I am currently writing an application called Active Geohasher which will allow you to subscribe to graticules and be notified of their locations by daily email.
  • I made my own google pin which i take to most geohashes.
  • I love geohashing because it encourages me to visit places that i would not otherwise get to see. the fact that it's entirely random does not seem to matter to me!
  • I have grown to love mediawiki through using this wiki!
  • contact details
  • follow me on twitter
  • Talk to me! click here to start a new topic on my talk page

xkcd love

Macronencer asked me when i first got into xkcd and i didn't know. I honestly couldn't remember. I know i was already reading Sinfest and i have a feeling that one led to the other ...

Fortunately the xkcd urls are easy enough to do a quick binary search, and now i think i have an answer. Xkcd first caught my attention with Online Communities and i think i started reading regularly from Compiling onwards. So i guess around about mid-2007.

Monica

Monica is my hashscot. Monica is short for mononucleosis, also known as the kissing disease. This makes sense when you know that monica is a giant microbe of the kissing disease!
