Please make a new category at the bottom to add your comments if they don't relate to an existing section. I'd really appreciate a useful edit summary, too, so I can tell from the notification e-mail whether I need to look at it right away or not. Feel free to move an archived section back here if you want to talk about it more.

Australia
Hi Robyn, CJ and I were wondering, when you come to Australia (Whoo Hoo!), Could you please bring your airplane with you? Thanks, -- Kate 13:23, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
I'd need to a) convine my boss he didn't need it that week and b) fill all the baggage holds with fuel to get it that far. How about I bring my licence and hire one there? -Robyn 17:26, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
Yay! We'll planepool (as in carpool?) and go on an Airtrip (as in roadtrip?) ! -- Kate 21:34, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
Yeah! Drop by your local flying school and find out what the rules are for a rental by someone who holds a Transport Canada and FAA licence. -Robyn 21:36, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
Hi Robyn, guess what? While at a dance performance I was chatting to another performer, who is the secretary for an organisation that rents planes in Canberra (yeah, I know, yay for random coincidences)! So... what kind of license do you have again? Her preliminary advice was you can probably get a temporary flying permit thing. --joannac 04:14, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
I have a Transport Canada Airline Transport Licence, and an FAA Private licence. The trick seems to be that you have to do a flying checkout with a school (no problem) but then Australia takes weeks to process the temp permit. -Robyn 04:58, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
Image Categories
I'm sorry! I keep forgetting about them until I open my inbox and I have a dozen messages from the wiki... *is ashamed*
- It's okay. I wasn't actually annoyed, just having fun with the edit summaries. I type the categories into the edit box for the first picture I upload, then copy them and on subsequent pics from the same expedition, I just keep hitting ctrl-V
Template:maintained
Hi Robyn. Here's a Template:maintained. If you agree with the idea and the wording, feel free to include it on any page that you don't want to be changed by the bot. :) -- relet 10:23, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Wait, your summary said possible expedition?
Nuts, and I don't get my bike back from the shop until tomorrow. -- Rhonda 15:17, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
- I don't think I'll do it. I was thinking of trying the camping achievement, but it has to be within one km of the coordinates and I can't camp in the water. And quite frankly I'm too lazy to cycle 80 km with that kayak in the trailer. THink BC ferries would charge me by the foot for the trailer? I think I'll clean my yard. Or play Lemmings. -Robyn 15:27, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
- Oh, ok. I need to add a bike trailer to my shopping list anyway. -- Rhonda 15:39, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
- Woohoo! <-- terrible attempt at lemmings noise Thepiguy 00:57, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
- Got all the way through Fun and Tricky, halfway through the Taxing level and then switched to Commander Keen. Wade found a DOS emulator to run all my old favourite games on the PC. I even have Star Trek: 25th Anniversary. Don't do the math. -Robyn 01:08, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
Page changed emails
Do you get emails when a page on your watchlist has changed? I do, and recently a few have been going missing. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. --joannac
- I do, and I haven't noticed any missing, but then I often delete them unread if I already know about the changes, and if I don't know about the changes, I can't tell. I believe I have received an email for every change I have noticed. -Robyn 00:51, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Congratulations! and 2009-04-23
You've made it to 50 geohashes! Woohoo! I feel like I should throw you a little party on the internet! Sorry I couldn't be there! Thepiguy 05:37, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
- I only just realized I had hit fifty as I was dictating to Wade how to update my userpage. "Now increment that number by one ..." I'm wearing the party hat from your birthday hash; that should do. -Robyn 05:45, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
- Yay! I'll go to my car and get one of the noise makers! Thepiguy 05:49, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, molto-congratulations! I'll be happy with 52 by the anniversary.
Planning for 2009-04-23 48 -122 moved to that expedition Talk page. -Robyn 16:34, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
Camping hash
I was chatting with Juventas in irc last night, and we figured that if we pre-declare a long weekend to be a camping hash weekend in one or the other of our graticules then prepare for anything, we could all three of us do an expedition together some time. I suggested the Victoria Day long weekend (16/17/18) because it's close enough to start plans but far enough off that we aren't too rushed - and it's generally considered the start of camping season. Nothing firm yet, but I thought I'd bring it to your attention. -- Rhonda 15:29, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
- So I should make sure I'm back from my secret trip by then, eh? -Robyn 15:39, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
- Or propose a different weekend that suits your schedule better. -- Rhonda 15:45, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
- This is more exciting than waiting for Christmas to come. :) Juventas 07:23, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
- Of course I found out recently that Victoria Day long weekend won't work for me, because I have family stuff happening. We should try to pick a weekend that works for all of us. So far I know I can't do Victoria Day, anything in the last week of May (Sat to Sat), or Father's day weekend. -- Rhonda 19:02, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
Resize Help
Thanks for the resize. I was working at it myself upon looking at it, but I see someone else has taken care of it for me. Thanks! - Yert 05:36, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
