My home coordinates are plusminus 48.53,9.06 in the city of Tuebingen, Germany. I was born and lived for a long time in 49,11 and still am there from time to time.
I plan to geohash mostly by bike, but will make short detours (less than 5km one way), if a geohash is near to a route I'm driving by car anyway.
Geohashes
Finally I started with geohashing after years of just watching and checking the coordinates like once every few months :)

For an over view see the map: http://xkcd.nathanwoodruff.com/GooMapXKCDKlaus.htm or use the table below. It contains the first successful hash for each graticule. I only included graticules for the moment for which I know I'll be travelling through or staying at least a few days per year and thus there is a small possibility to get them, if the algorithm is kind enough!

Bash Script
As I always forget to look up the coordinates, I hacked this (very ugly) bash script to let a daily cronjob inform me per email, whenever a geohash is near to me:
#!/bin/bash maxdistance=15 a=$(curl 'http://tjum.anthill.de/cgi-bin/geohash.cgi?lat=48.53&lon=9.06&nr=1&map=0&size=240x240&t=&date=&unit=km' 2>/dev/null | iconv -f 'iso8859-1' -t 'utf8' | sed 's/<br>/\n/g' | sed 's/ / /g' | fgrep 'km' | cut -d ':' -f2 | cut -d 'k' -f1 | sort -n | head -n 1 | cut -d '.' -f 1) echo $a if [ $a -lt $maxdistance ] then echo 'http://tjum.anthill.de/cgi-bin/geohash.cgi?t=1&nr=o&unit=km&zoom=11%2F5&zoom=8%2F2&type=roadmap&lat=48.53&lon=9.06&size=240x240' | mail -s "geohash is near to tuebingen ($a)" USERNAME fi
I just parses the small hash inquiry tool from Ekorren in the most complicated way and sends the mail via a local mailserver :)
