From Geohashing
Revision as of 18:43, 5 April 2009 by imported>ReletBot (mv template as per Naming conventions)

CS student, open source aficionado and Debian volunteer (though I currently lack the time to do much for them), originally from Hannover but studying and living in Berlin for the time being.

I'm hashing mainly in Berlin and the surrounding graticules and plan and announce my hashing attempts well in advance, so meeting me by chance is rather unlikely. What's more (unless the hash is so close that the detour is negligible) I usually don't hash alone - it's not even half the fun, and the possibilities what the countryside in Brandenburg may look like are very limited.

Time and again I might use my car to reach a hash. As I tend to forget to leave a "xkcd" note behind the windshield: if you see a green car with a H- license plate near a hash, that might be mine.

When I'm not hashing, I reverse-engineer binaries (although I must admit that I'm a x86 sissy, with only minimal m68k, ppc and sparc experience), administer a mid-size university lab or search the linux kernel for bugs in the network stack.

Plans for the wiki? Nah, not me. I'll just sit in my little corner, work on my regiohash tool now and then and be content and quiet.
