I live in Winchester. I am most likely to be found geohashing in the Southampton, Swindon, Weymouth or London West graticules.


About me

me and my google pin
  • 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!

People i have met whilst geohashing

Monica

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.
