Geowank

This device is tracking my position all day today by logging the WiFi nodes I pass. (I’m not entirely sure why.)

And, for added geekiness, I’m posting this from my telephone. It’s like being in the future, eh?

They’re still after folk to wander about being tracked, Kevin - send me an email and I’ll put you in touch.

No book tokens, though - a tenner instead!
