Hurray, you're alive!
Glad to see you made it to Germany safely. While you were out I booked a flight to Germany for Geohashing Day, cancelled it ina frenzy of Lufthansa charges WHAT? for bicycles, and then went out on a crazy expedition. Vancouver misses you, but we're not wasting time pining for you. The last two Saturdays have had Vancouver expeditions in two different graticules! -Robyn 18:22, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
- Can't wait to read about it! Glad to see your still having fun, although it does worry me that you seem to be getting more determined... Thepiguy 17:08, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
- Five write-ups done (another kayak hash today), and yes, I'm very determined. I go back to work in a couple of weeks and have to make sure I get all the geohashes I can before then. -Robyn 05:38, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
Welcome in 30W-land!
Did you encounter some Internets and a bike in the meantime? I just wanted to drop a note, that we (three fellow geohashers and two well-initiated drag-alongs) will be in 49,8 (centered on Abtsteinach) during next week. Unfortunately, there's a good chance that we will be without the webs too. But if you happen to plan some hashing, do look west. And also ilpadre might know more about our plans. -- relet 21:38, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
- I'll do my best! I don't think I'll get very far durring the week, but I'll see what I can do for the weekend! Thepiguy 17:08, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
Welcome! In addition to my daily commute to Augsburg, there seems to be one more reason to start geohashing NW of München. Btw: Have you noticed that there's actually a nice bike brand in Germany called Victoria? (The 's hides the fact that I don't know if the company is still around) --Zb 20:39, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
If there's a good location near you, just let me know and I'll head out there! I want to meet everyone before I have to go back! Thepiguy 20:48, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
Photo cats
You're copy-and-pasting the wrong categories onto your photos! -- Benjw 22:18, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
D'oh! Thanks for the heads up! Robyn? Where are you when I need you! Thepiguy 22:21, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
- But even the wrong categories are better than none at all! -- Benjw 19:54, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
- Ok, ok. I promise that when I get my internet set up I will go back and change all of the images I've uploaded. Thepiguy 19:59, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
- Just write them out once and cut-and-paste! Here -- [[Category:Meetup on 2009-05-10]] [[Category:Meetup in 49 9]] -- Benjw 20:08, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
- Ha ha, what did he do? Call them all 49 -123? Pi, I told you I wasn't going to put categories on your photos anymore because You Should Know Better. -Robyn 06:09, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
Yay latitude?
I'm impressed your latitude hasn't changed at all since the move. --joannac 00:26, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
I know! Isn't it great! I'll have to look up other cities on the 49th parallel in case I ever decide to move... Thepiguy 19:26, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi,
there are lots of accessible and interesting points in my surroundings tomorrow:
Kempten graticule - in a forest in the Allgäu mountains, 15 km from a station reachable with the Baden-Württemberg-Ticket, probably accessible
Stuttgart graticule - in a forest at Stuttgart itself, 2 km from a tram stop (tram carries bikes)
St. Gallen graticule - a few km outside of Überlingen, probably has a great view on the Lake Constance along the way
Sundays points are not half as interesting as saturdays.
In any case, I need a fast decision whether there will be a meetup somewhere, and where, as I want to have enough time to do some decent planning (like preparing maps, checking timetables, researching locations and caches along the way etc). A "yes" in the late evening will generally be taken as "no". --Ekorren 14:17, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
