Hi, everybody.
The Copenhagen graticule (55 12) has gone active. So far there's one participant: Me :-)
Today (20th June 2008) I went to this place called Sigerslevvester to look at a maize (corn) field. (Wow) ;-)
I confess right away: I don't own a GPS receiver, so I pinpointed the location using Google Maps living with the inaccuracy. According to Google the location was out in the middle of this maize field and as such inaccessible so I wouldn't be able to get to the exact spot anyway (assuming that the farmer might have a strong opinion about people damaging his crops).
Sigerslevvester is a village with a population of around a hundred, and naturally I was bombarded with questions. Having NOT read the FAQ, I had a great time explaining all about "some internet silliness" based on todays date and the opening index of Dow Jones to their astonished faces, grinning widely and sillily in the process. I did not, however, mention the word hash at all :-)
The only slightly negative person I met, was the owner of the trees in which I hung the XKCD marker, who was worried that I might damage his trees. When he learned that I had no intention of hurting his trees and used solely bio-degradable materials for my marker he mellowed up.
Anyway, it was a nice day, a nice weather and nice people in Sigerslevvester.
That was fun.
