Expedition
Danatar
Planning: It's not far from the train station, so I might go there. There would be a train starting at 8:37 and arriving at 11:14 (if on time in Bietigheim) or 11:44 (more reliable).
But I need Ekorren's permission ;-) Perhaps he can even join me? Anybody else?
11:44 is not the only time for me, it's the earliest, I have to be back home at 18 o'clock, i.e. return train at 14:13 or earlier.
Okay then. If I arrive at 11:14, I'll wait at the hashpoint, else I'll be at the train station. - Danatar 18:10 CET

Planning: I've done the nearest worst thing that could happen: I had to explain geohashing to my mother. Problem is, that a) I had promised to help her with kitchen remodeling, and b) the people from the heating billing will need to get into my room during the day.
- I know how you feel about explaining geohashing to your mother, I had to do the same.
Can't get worse if you want to go geohashing, can it? Actually it could have gone worse, because I seem to have got clearance at least. I've no idea yet what that clearance will cost me (not money-wise, though). For the least I know I'll be very busy tonight.
There is a special discount ticket for the trains from Tübingen via Horb to Pforzheim, which makes the trip very affordable. The earliest train it is valid on will arrive at Pforzheim Hbf at 12:05. Two hours later would be better (because I could wait for the billing guy myself then), but if that's too late for you, the 12:05 will do.
So, maybe more people will join in? Ilpadre? Anyone else? Pforzheim is really affordable from many places, as the KVV maximum fare is only around 5 EUR (<4 with BahnCard).
