From Geohashing

Hey wow. Nice work, dawidi, this is great. -- UnwiseOwl 23:01, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Everything that has a name but not a page is considered sea? That will be wildly inaccurate! Is there another way to recognize sea graticules? -Robyn 23:22, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Why? You'll all be underwater soon anyway. Fwahahaha! -- UnwiseOwl 23:41, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
A grat is considered sea if it doesn't have a page AND has (lat,lon) in its name. --joannac 23:42, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
So Robyn should get around to naming the rest of Canada? -- UnwiseOwl 23:53, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
Ah, makes perfect sense. There are many graticules, I think in around South America, named "Atlantic Ocean" in the All Graticules list. And no, I don't think I'll name all of Canada just yet. I only name the bits I fly over. -Robyn 01:07, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Nice smiley in the Atlantic whoever that was! --excellentdude 02:38, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Dammit. I wish I could take credit for it. The best I did was write naughty words in the rural Australian grats. -- UnwiseOwl 02:48, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
That was the edit "Atlantic Ocean:  :)" by User:Ilpadre --dawidi 07:27, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

I finally figured out where to click to see them. Awesome. I'm so proud of the little stripes of activity that are my flight paths! -Robyn 03:07, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Who drew Pacman eating Hawaii? Brilliant! -- Benjw 17:22, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

"Global village" graticule

Splendid stuff. I live near famous people!  :-) Trying to automate this with the data from the ASL template was mentioned. Well, why not? We already put our integer lat and long into the template. Can we not put fractional ones instead? The global village can read them, ignore the ones that don't have the fractional part, and display the rest. The ASL template can simply ignore the fractional parts (can't it?). -- Benjw 20:05, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

( I live alone, so far from anyone else. Just like real life, I guess. -- UnwiseOwl 23:29, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

ASG Templates

It also seems that we have no female geohashers at all! Is there something joannac and robyn and the like aren't telling us? -- UnwiseOwl 23:33, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Eh? Plenty of females appear when I look. Not as many as males, mind, but plenty nonetheless. -- Benjw 23:37, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
Hmm, it still looks totally blank to me...How odd. Maybe ie is doing something weirda and adding the two together or something... -- UnwiseOwl 23:40, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
Odd. There seem to be 24 girlies reported, of whom the modal age is 22-23, with 7 hashers. Of the blokes, the modal age is 24-25, with 26 hashers. Is that what you see? (Hover mouse over the bar to see how many people it represents.) -- Benjw 23:43, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
Hmm, yes, it looks like the alt test is appearing (if I happen to get my mouse in the right spot) but the bars themselves simply aren't there. I blame work using a stupid web browser. -- UnwiseOwl 23:46, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
I have the same issue as UnwiseOwl. The alt-text is showing the numbers, but there's no pretty orange bars on the female side of the graph. Maybe it's an aussie thing...--CJ 00:45, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
It's not that...Are you using ie?. UnwiseOwl 00:51, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
Hehe - I was just kidding about the Aussie thing. Nah I'm using Safari.--CJ 00:54, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
Anyone using these browsers and not having this problem? -- UnwiseOwl 00:56, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
Interesting. I was using Firefox, which was fine, but out of curiosity I checked on IE and the bars aren't there. -- Benjw 06:16, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
Also broken in Opera. --joannac 06:35, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Oops. My fault. There was a " missing on the female side, and only FF seemed to accept that. Replaced the images with colored character bars now, it's nicer anyway :) --dawidi 06:58, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
