Paraplane launch

41 / m / 49,12

I work as a database programmer and multi-purpose geek in the "IT-Speicher" in Regensburg, Germany, and toy around with unconventional r/c aircraft, aerial photography and some other odd digital photography techniques in my free time.

I do have a website but for the moment it is horribly outdated.

I'm into Openstreetmap and Geocaching also; these combine well with Geohashing expeditions.

I now rather frequently visit hashpoints on any day (or during the night, if necessary) if I find the time, and the coordinates happen to be reachable from Regensburg by bicycle, including the corners of the neighbor graticules:

Nürnberg 49 11	Regensburg 49 12
München 48 11	Landshut 48 12

I can be found idling around in #geohashing most of the time, and I've built a program to generate Maps and Statistics about graticules and expeditions on the wiki.

Most recent expeditions

(newest first)

	2009-05-03 47 12 in the Chiemsee, with Tomcat and Hans in a rowing boat. A full day trip by train and bike.		2009-05-02 48 12 on a small road between Niedergebraching and Hohengebraching, by bike with Matthias.
	2009-04-28 49 12 at the edge of a forest, north of Schwaighausen, by bike with Tomcat in the rain.		2009-04-24 49 12 in the forest near Ramspau, by bike after work.
	2009-04-23 49 12 next to a small lake north of Ramspau, by bike with Tomcat after work.		2009-04-19 49 12 in a meadow about 15km east of Weiden, by train and bike with Tomcat and Hans.
	2009-04-11 48 13 in a forest about 20km southeast of Passau, by train and bike with Tomcat and Hans.		2009-04-03 49 12 in a beautiful, mountainous forest north of Ramspau, with Tomcat and Hans.

... and 28 other expeditions before that!

...done that:

dawidi so far achieved level 4 of the Minesweeper Geohash achievement

by visiting coordinates in Landshut, Germany and 4 of the surrounding graticules.

Template:Virgin graticule

dawidi, Tomcat and Hans earned the Border geohash achievement

by crossing the Germany-Austria border on 2009-04-11 to reach the (48, 13) geohash.

dawidi earned the Geohash by proxy achievement

by reaching the (48, 12) geohash on 2009-03-30 using a GPS-carrying X-3D-BL quadrocopter.

dawidi, with Tomcat and Hans, almost earned the Speed Racer geohash Achievement

by passing through the (49, 12) geohash on 2009-03-23 at 130 km/h (the advisory maximum speed), because Unhandled Exception in 'Speed Racer Achievement': property 'legal speed limit' not implemented..

dawidi (with Tomcat and Hans) earned the Midnight Geohash achievement

by reaching the (48, 12) geohash on 2009-02-27 in the middle of the night.

dawidi earned the Meet-up achievement

by meeting Thomcat, Danatar and ekorren at the (51, 10) geohash on 2009-02-22.

Template:Virgin graticule

dawidi earned the Frozen Geohash Achievement

by reaching the (49, 12) geohash on 2008-12-30 while the temperature was -9.1°C.

dawidi earned the cubicle geohash almost honorable mention

by working not that far from the (49, 12) geohash on 2008-12-24.

Template:Hashcard achievement

dawidi earned the Geohash by proxy achievement

by reaching the (49, 12) geohash on 2008-10-14 using a GPS-carrying home-made R/C paraplane ("ParaDIY").

dawidi earned the Déjà Vu Geohash Achievement

by reaching the (49, 11) geohash on 2008-09-29, and previously on 2003-02-02.

dawidi, among several other expeditions (full list), earned the Bicycle geohash achievement

by cycling to the (49, 11) geohash on 2008-06-15.

Template:Virgin graticule

dawidi earned the Drag-along achievement

by dragging Tomcat to the (49, 12) geohash on 2008-08-09.

... and I'm particularly looking for opportunities for these in the future:

Water Geohash, another Border geohash, more Proxy Geohash variants, Calendar Girl Achievement, MNIMB Geohash, Consecutive Geohash, Multihash, more Meet-Up Achievements, Birthday Geohash, Sunrise geohash, Origin Geohash.
