2pm Meetup Time

Can we standardise 2pm as a weekend meet-up time? This works during winter when the sun sets earlier. I go to a fair few geohashes these days and always feel I might be missing someone due to confused time assumptions (although it doesn't look like this has actually happened yet). I'll be at tomorrow's at 2pm. Felix Dance 22:16, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Honestly, I don't usually take the time into account generally, but then it's been a while since i did a hash actually in Melbourne (as opposed to somewhere out in the country), so meeting up (with the lack of people going) hasn't been of as much import as when I'm in the area. I'm happy to call 2pm meetup time though, and I'll try and make it to tomorrows (probably sans bike, which currently needs a new wheel after an altercation with a car on the way home from work yesterday). --mykaDragonBlue [- i have no sig -] 04:51, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Anyone thinking of going to the Geelong one this Sunday? It's in property, but might be accessible along a drive way. Virgin hash in it. Felix Dance 23:40, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Redesign

I'm thinking of changing the layout of the main page to something a little more similar to other major graticule websites. My ideas are:

• Swap the ordering so the most recent trips appear at the top so we don't need to scroll all the way down all the time.
• Represent success or failure as an arrow (/)
• Include the names of the people who did the geohash and maybe a couple of words of summary in the same line.

Have a look at Atlanta, Georgia for an idea of what I mean.

Any thoughts? Felix Dance 00:16, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

1. - I've been meanting to do that myself.
2. - see 1, although not necessarily with those same arrows, but say a tick / cross or some other set of icons.
3. - sure, why not.

more ideas:

• moving the list of inactive hashers away from where it is would help as well, since it takes up prime space above the expeditions.
• split the list of expeditions by graticule (east / west)

Yeah I agree with that stuff. I've just done a quick job swapping the order and moving the non-active geohashers to Melbourne Geohashers. Still needs some work, splitting graticules (although, we could have a symbol for that - either way), doing something with months/day of week. Adding ticks/crosses.

I'm doing this one, possibly with a drag-along... i have no idea of what time though. --114.76.107.66 13:57, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm definitely doing that one! I'll probably be there around 1pm. --Felix Dance 22:50, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Anyone thinking of this one tonight?
--Felix Dance 05:22, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Probably not on a weeknight when I'll be late leaving work, but it would have made a perfect sunday drive... Melbourne East, Moondarra State Park and Wilsons Prom National Park. All near enough to roads, but interesting. It's a pity. --mykaDragonBlue [- i have no sig -] 05:38, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
