Talk:Portland, Oregon

June Local hashpoints

Well, if I didn't like Saturday, I really shouldn't like the hashpoint for Sunday for Portland. Pretty far south. Jiml 06:09, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

But Monday got event more south! It doesn't have too much more room!! I wonder if the Salem folks are noticing... Jiml 20:00, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

I guess it *CAN* still keep going South! (And East) Jiml 14:08, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Well, it is clearly staying in the south of the graticule. We'll see what happens this weekend. Jiml 05:56, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Other conversations

Wil: Anyone know why August 17th is "notable?"

admalledd: No idea.

Unless someone can say why it needs to stay, I'm going to be deleting that section at some point. Also, I'll probably be cleaning up the Daily Locations section by moving all of the text below each date to the YYYY-MM-DD_45_-122 pages RSN. Wil 23:06, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the cleanup, Wil. Do you know who has the first geohash in this graticule? --Thomcat 15:11, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Thomcat, Drache and NoTerminal had the first geohash in the world, and they had it in this graticule.  :) Wil 16:37, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

I completed my cleanup of the Portland page yesterday. The only thing I noticed that need help with is contacting Erin, who was at the 2008-05-26 geohash and who promised us pictures but never posted any. Wil 16:37, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Damn you all in Portland for having an active location. I am the only local to ever visit a Eugene location... It is hard to go when you know you will be the only one there. Grr.

It's a shame that none of the recent (and not-so-recent) expeditions have been written up so that the rest of us can enjoy reading about them. (Or did nobody actually go? Several people are listed as expressing interest.) Can I please encourage you all to write something -- anything! -- about your expeditions? Thanks. -- Benjw 17:59, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

I second Benjw's request. Make quickie expedition pages showing whether or not you reached the coordinates, just so that we an count you in the global statistics. -Robyn 17:17, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

City picture

Hey Portland graticule residents! I took a couple pictures of the city while I was there, and was wondering if you would like to put one on your page, as some other graticules have done. I have two options: [1] and [2]. I would resize the image (since they are way too big for inclusion on a graticule page) and possibly crop it (if desired). Let me know if you are interested, or feel free to download either one and post it yourself! --aperfectring 00:37, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Cool! Thanks! I prefer the second one. I assume I'll be able to convince iPhoto to do some processing for us. Jiml 04:47, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Just make sure they are really of Portland. Vancouver and Seattle know why I'm saying this. :-P -Robyn 06:44, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

I don't have to make sure of it. I didn't travel to Vancouver (BC or WA) or Seattle, and have never done so when I have had this camera. Since these pictures came off of my camera mere minutes before I posted them up here, I don't think I have to worry. =P Feel free to do whatever you want with either photo. --aperfectring 11:56, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

To be scrapped Conversations

June 10 Hashpoint

Located near corner of Shute Road and Evergreen parkway, near Highway 26. Google has a picture of farmland, and it is next to some sort of Silicon Fab. I guess I'll see what it really is. The spot should be easy to get to, though parking may be tricky. And permission to access....

Yea, mailing list seems to be under the impression that fab is "the new Genentech plant". My father works near there so I'm going to try and drag him out after he gets off. I'll probably head over around 5 or 6. Anyone interested in meeting up around then can give me a call, I'm always reachable on my cellphone (its on my user page) --Jhon 17:45, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Hmmm - This mailing list sounds cool.  ;-) I could try for 5 or 6 to get over there as well. Work is nearby. Jiml 19:06, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

It is. Not sure why you're having so much trouble getting on it. Wil is the list admin so he might be able to help. My father just confirmed that he'd be willing to be dragged along so at the moment it looks like 3 of us + Seth dropping by earlier and leaving a marker for us. --Jhon 20:58, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks to all for a couple of successful expeditions! - Jim
