Picture of your graticule. Did you take it? -Robyn 15:56, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

No, I stole it from my local radio station. Someone from 96.1 FM took the picture and posted it on the radio stations web site. I had it as my desktop of my computer for a while. There were a number of tornado pictures that people uploaded, but I thought that one was the best.

I have contacted the server admin about this and he has removed the warning. --joannac 07:00, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

THANK YOU!!! joannac --NWoodruff 11:48, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

is there a reason this tiny part of the conversation was kept when the context for it was cleaned? --mykaDragonBlue [- i have no sig -] 00:55, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Ooh, I can answer this one! Because it's the only place on the wiki where joanna's brave appeal to the server admin is documented, and others might be interested in the repeal. -Robyn 04:15, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi, just cleaning out the wiki and looking for some clarification. You say you were around then, and it never happened. Does that mean you were at the point (in which case, you can probably claim it)? If you weren't, then how do you know it never happened? Or am I misinterpreting your statement. Thanks, --joannac 00:44, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

I remember this time last year that I was e-mailing with someone that lived in Smyrna about geohashing in the now Roswell and he told me that he had been trying to organize an expedition in that graticule but nothing had formed as of yet. It was about a week or two before my first geohash on 2008-06-22. I'm assuming that meant that the 2008-05-24 was a planning page to mean that no movement was to mean no group was formed to find the geohash point. --NWoodruff 12:24, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Are you sure it's the same person? I think the fact there's a time on the page indicates someone was there at the time, and the "no movement" is referring to there being no activity at the hashpoint (i.e. no other hashers). --joannac 12:38, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

No I can't be sure. But since I do work in that graticule, I was interested in making an effort to find a geohash in this graticule. I don't even remember his name. I gave someone else my e-mail address from the Atlanta group and someone else gave it to him because I was interested and worked close to where he lived. I don't have any e-mails from that far back or I would look it up. I do remember him saying to me that he had been trying to get a group together for a month now. That would have been about the time of that entry and the saying "No movement". --NWoodruff 16:31, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Anonymous editing

Hey, there's some discussion going on about spam and what to do (which will probably affect anonymous editing). Since you do a lot of anonymous editing you should probably add your opinion. Discussion is here. --joannac 12:56, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Be the first to Geohash on the Moon

Technically, I believe this would be lunahashing. --starbird 23:44, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Haha, that is a good goal, number 19. I hope it will actually be possible within our lifetimes. I sometimes go on Google Moon just to see where some of the geohashes would be. Like starbird, i also refer to it as lunarhashing! :) -- sermoa 18:16, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

It might be interesting to check if accidental lunahashing weren't made by one of Apollo expeditions or unmanned lunar probes. The same could be possible on Mars - it would be areohashing. Should we create "Virgin planet" achievement for them? Felinator 14:09, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Globalhash

The globalhash for Tuesday is on an Augusta, Georgia road or joint driveway. This is EXTREMELY reachable. We need to find a local hasher! --Bill^2 15:59, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Actually it is in South Carolina. But I do think it is going to be attempted. --NWoodruff 16:14, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Atlanta, Georgia

Fwiw, the hash really does fall on the southern edge of the road, the name of the road is Connell, and i thought the original phrasing was a bit awkward. Do you disagree with any of these three statements? -- Yours, CrystyB 17:13, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

+/- 30 feet means middle of the road is close enough. If I do a speed racer achievement today, it will be in the middle of the road. I never said anything about the name of the road and it is east of Union City, Georgia.

Are you going to make that geohash today? Why should you care?

My other partner in crime, Luxmundi, might read the front page and see middle of the road and want to attempt it. His iPhone is +/- 150 feet. It might give him a reason to attempt it. --NWoodruff 17:33, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Points taken. Although, in my defense: deleting that name might be interpreted as "thumbs down" (quote)about the name of the road(un-quote). As for the east/south-east, the map i saw placed the Union City name directly north-west of the hash.

Not that you should care, but i wanted to know whether i did it wrong and to find an appropriate wiki-editing mindset.

If by "front page" you mean browser starting page, i agree that my phrasing would get a bit more visibility than i imagined, but otherwise i see no connection between it and the Main Page.

Anyway, thanks for the clarifications, and hope you'll nail this one today. -- CrystyB 17:48, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Front page I was referring to is the Atlanta Front page. Wiki-editing mindset is stick to your own graticule, that is unless you have been here for years or have 100 or so geohashes.

Todays geohash will be my 200th geohash.--NWoodruff 18:14, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Re: Breakin

NWoodruff: Sorry to hear about your truck, camera, and GPS unit. I hope your finances allow a speedy return to the sport. In the meantime, it won't be the same around here without you. --aperfectring 03:44, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

NWoodruff: Sorry to hear about the breakin. I went to school in ATL (as you may be able to surmise) and I've had vehicles broken into on several occasions. I've been reading a lot of your expeditions since my introduction to geohashing last week. I hope that you are able to begin hashing in earnest again soon. In the meantime, I'd love to read about some No Batteries Geohash attempts. ;) Ramblingwreck 04:47, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Newark NJ in July

Kyukket has two successful geohashes on the 24th and 25th, bringing the number of expeditions this month to three. Two others were planned but not attempted.

Okay, thanks. Did they not show up on the most active page? --NWoodruff 14:32, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

I don't know. I created the pages for him, and I must have missed the categories at first. I went back after a couple of days, so they slipped -through the cracks. --Jevanyn 16:52, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
