[Note: Personal Location Tracking FTW]
I took the dog out for a walk from the Chicory House yesterday. We found ourselves on a familiar-looking footpath: but Icouldn't place exactly why I'd been there before.
Fortunately, I maintain a personal tracklog of virtually everywhere I've been in the […]

On the right, the facade of the tobacco factory build by Giovanni Maria Mastai, Pope Pius IX, in 1863, an elegant building with a pediment supported by eight columns and, in front of it, a fountain with two basins, one above the other, and a gull.

Is that what's under the hood of #Randonautica maybe? 🤔

There are trees on the median strip and on the right hand side. Above and to the right is a yellow building, an old barn, inside the local park, with a line of umbrella pines and other large trees.

[Article: OpenStreetMap rocks (especially on foot)]
OpenStreetMap blows Google Maps out of the water for walkers and also for if you're trying to find a particular-named house in a rural area. I'm not saying never to use Google Maps (there's plenty of things it's the king at): but maybe […]
Today's visualisation project on geohashing.win: geohashers' centres of activity.
1. Cluster their expeditions
2. Find weighted centroid of biggest cluster
3. Display label scaled by expedition count, coloured by median expedition age.

Just across the road from my barber, whom I had planned to visit in any case.
Under a blue-white sky, a rounded hill towers over a fertile green valley dotted with little white houses, as seen from between the trees of an ancient forest.
Gorgeous view of Slievenamon towering over Kilsheelan, Co. Tipperary, Ireland, as seen from Gurteen Wood, where my mother and I are just on our way back from our successful expedition to the 2024-11-24 52 -7 geohashpoint.

Abstract map of the Republic of Ireland, represented as coloured graticules (square degrees of latitude and longitude) and highlighted based on whether they have seen successful geohashing expeditions. The Dublin, Carlow and Waterford graticules were so-'unlocked' by 'JRK', and the Loughrea graticule was unlocked by Dan Q, which is further highlighted by a 'celebrating face' emoji.
I'm on the map! No matter what else my mother and I achieve this week, my name will forever be recorded as the unlocker of the Loughrea graticule in Ireland: https://geohashing.site/geohashing/Ireland
