About Me
70 / m / 52,1My name is Neil. My status is geohash newbie. Is geohashing the ultimate "Nerd Snipe"?
My user name is a play on words based on computer source-code and is a tribute to controlled folly.
I enjoy computer programming and wrote an implementation of Conway's Game of Life in BASIC in 1972. The virtual creatures were printed on a paper roll by a mechanical teletype. Those were the days. Later in 1976 I taught programming to school kids. We used Algol! We filled in coding forms and submitted them to be punched onto cards for the overnight run. The next day we'd get the error message print-outs or rarely a successful run. More recently I have used PHP, MySQL, Javascript and Delphi.
One of my follies is to go geohashing. A totally pointless but pleasing activity. Another is to walk from Cape St Vincent (Portugal) to Istanbul (Turkey). 1600 miles completed by the summer of 2010 with about 5400 miles to go. I'm not seriously expecting to complete this walk but that is all part of the folly.
