what's going on with today's coordinates? they don't match up with the map program.
i'm east of -30 so i use thursday's dow, which is 11655.42
2008-08-08-11655.42 --md5--> 0aaaf63a6d0b377e9750403823884345
0aaaf63a6d0b377e --dec--> 768697417218078600
9750403823884345 --dec--> 10903285307722449000
so i should get -37.768697 145.109033, but the map program is generating -37.041672 145.591068.
this is driving me insane. what am i doing wrong?
- lantheria
the hex-->dec conversions are wrong. It should be hex/FFFFFFFF.... not a straight dec value conversion.
the 0aaa.... should convert to something like 05.... and the 975... should convert to something like 6....
(note I didn't actually do the math, I'm just estimating)
