| − | Okay, the Main Page lists the co-ordinates for 31 May 2008 as:

| − | However, the irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/ for my graticule [http://irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html?date=2008-05-31&lat=62&long=5&zoom=8&abs=1] shows co-ordinates of 0.702114 and 0.838062. What's going on? [[User:AshleyMorton|AshleyMorton]] 14:06, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

| − | :The data the map uses is wrong. It's using the DJIA from yesterday, I think. I just noticed that the opening values from today and yesterday were exactly the same and came here to see if anyone noticed any funny business. :) --[[User:ZorMonkey|ZorMonkey]] 14:15, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

| − | The official reference implementation has the wrong market data for Friday May 30.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Debugging gives: Market open on 2008-05-30 = 12593.87 While finances.google has 12647.36

| − | : Can we assume it's getting the Dow Jones info from a feed, and thus the feed is wrong? [[User:Djomp|Djomp]] 15:02, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
| |
| − | :: My bet is that wherever they got their info from is correct, but it wasn't yet updated for today when the webpage hit it. --[[Special:Contributions/161.49.253.254|161.49.253.254]] 15:21, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

| − | :: The biggest problem to all this is that it means the Saturday meetup locations are wrong, too. [[User:Darcy|Darcy]]
| |
| − | ::: Perhaps the [[DJIA#irc.peeron.com|peeron service]] should hit up Google every five minutes from, say, 09:35 to 10:00, just in case? I've also noticed that this server's time is ~6-7 minutes fast, so a 09:35 hit could have actually been executed at 09:28, before the market opened... --[[User:Tjtrumpet2323|Tim P]] 15:25, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
| |
| − | ::: Even better, if the first hit returns the exact same number as the previous day, keep trying until something changes or it gets to be, like, noon... --[[User:Tjtrumpet2323|Tim P]] 15:46, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

| − | :::: Good - we've got this figured - now who can fix it? It certainly isn't me! <''Feeling not geeky enough for this neighbourhood''> [[User:AshleyMorton|AshleyMorton]] 16:15, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

| − | ::::: I have sent a text message to Zigdon telling him about the problem. Hopefully he'll respond soon. Until he does, you're in Do-it-yourself-land :) [[User:FunkyTuba|FunkyTuba]] 16:40, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
