2008-05-24 meetup near San Jose

Hey there -- quick question: On the 2008-05-24 37 -121 page, you list "Jim and his two young girls". I think that might be a reference to me (Joe and his daughter & son), but I don't want to update it in case there was another person with geohashlings in tow. --Tapin 02:28, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Indeed, my bad. Fixed :) Zigdon 02:35, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks! Hope to see you at future meetups --Tapin 02:51, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Using site heavily

Sorry, I didn't see the request, and stopping at this point to wait for permission would probably waste both of our resources. I'm doing a single grab of all the DJIA data, so I can run some stats. Again, sorry, and hope this isn't too heavy a drain. -Chron 05:11, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Not a big deal, but it's a silly way of doing it. Yahoo has a CSV of the past 100 years of DJIA online, and google has the data back to 1970 (which is where I got the data). If you'd rather, I can just give you a tar file of the entire directory structure? Zigdon 06:03, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I found the Yahoo one, so I stopped. -Chron 06:12, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Nearby food link in new window?

Loving your work! One nit - could you make the nearby food link open in a new window (and say so)? Following it then hitting back takes me back to the default location, not where I was. (Firefox 2)

Well, I dislike strongly forcing new windows. You could just as easily middle click on the link to open it in a new tab, or use it's right click menu. Zigdon 03:50, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
Oh, sure - and have been doing since I found out what happened. 'Twas just a bit of a gotcha the first time. I too hate new windows being forced on me (hence the "say so" comment), but they can be useful sometimes... Perhaps I should have said "another version of the link that opens in a new window" - but then it's getting cluttered. Forget I spoke ;-)
