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 ;-)
KML files
Just curious.. where do your KML scripts get the information of how many active users are in each graticule? - Histumness 19:51, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
- They parse the page for each graticule, looking for User: tags Zigdon 20:15, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, okay. This probably isn't a big deal, but I guess it doesn't check to make sure that there aren't any duplicates. So if there are 10 active users listed in the "Local Geohashers" section of a graticule's wiki page, but then there are 3 wikified references to those users in the "Activities" section, the script will list that graticule as having 13 active users. - Histumness 20:56, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
- Correct. Right now, it doesn't take too much care - the idea is really to gauge activity. Perhaps I will adjust the label to reduce the confusion. Zigdon 21:48, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Non US algo has an error
Hi. I've just tried to search fr this sunday (2008-06-01) and it has complained of no market data for 2008-06-30. Shpuld it have looked at 2008-05-30 instead? 122.110.140.231 01:46, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- I can't seem to reproduce it - what OS/Browser are you using? Zigdon 01:49, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
