From Geohashing
Revision as of 15:58, 4 October 2024 by Green guy! (talk | contribs) (Update user page with newest expedition and additional facts)
Hello, I’m an autistic 21-year old from Darmstadt, Hesse, Germany.
On January 22, 2024, I turned 21 years old and discovered the concept of geohashing via the Wikipedia article on xkcd – I like xkcd and Randall Munroe’s books a lot … this is the stuff that really sparks my fantasy and passion! One day later, I visited the Geohashing Wiki and geohashing.info for the first time and discovered a new passion of mine.
Update from October 2024: My interest in geohashing has declined somewhat as there are a lot of other interests of mine that I want to invest time in. These include:
- my work (which involves computer programming),
- listening to music (after applying various effects to it in Audacity),
- reading TV Tropes.
