I am on hiatus while I am relocating to Portland, Oregon. I will live very close to the western border, so will likely go hashing in McMinnville, Oregon just as much as Portland.

My rules for attending geohashes:

I will have new ones after I get settled in Portland.

Geohashes Attended

I usually have more pictures from the expedition, and have higher res versions of all the ones on the site, just ask.

Achievements

These are arranged by color coding first, and alphabetically by achievement name second. I will only claim an achievement once with the following exceptions:

  • Minesweeper - Only one per "region". Preferably none of the graticules will overlap between two claims of this.
  • Virgin - If I get it for the graticule, I will take it
  • Meet-up - If I meet someone new, they will get a ribbon. Everyone on the expedition where I meet someone new will be listed.

Possibly more to come to this list.

Aperfectring achieved level 1 of the Minesweeper Geohash achievement
by visiting coordinates in Palm Beach, Florida and 1 of the surrounding graticules.

I now have 4 points, for obtaining a squishy ~1.5km away from hash point on 2008-12-06.

Injury

I stupidly injured myself in the Dallas airport, so I probably won't go hashing for a while, unless it requires relatively little walking. Pic (warning, graphic): [1]

My injury is still present, preventing me from doing anything like running, but it doesn't really hinder me otherwise.

Projects

I am maintaining the Notification program, notes here: User:Aperfectring/Notification

I am working on a bot to automate the creation of the list of upcoming geohashing expeditions.
