44 / f / 51,-1I live in Winchester. I am most likely to be found geohashing in the Southampton, Swindon, Weymouth or London West graticules.
About me
- 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 bit of a typography geek. Let's just say i can tell the difference between Helvetica and Arial. One i love and one i hate. But not as much as i hate Comic Sans, which seems to pop up almost everywhere i go!
- 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!

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!

xkcd love
Macronencer once asked me when i first got into xkcd and this is the answer: Xkcd first caught my attention with Online Communities and i think i started reading regularly from Compiling onwards. So i have been loving xkcd since around about mid-2007.
