D

Local email tool in D, for Linux

Run this program once a day (for instance, per crontab) to get email notification whenever Google Maps indicates the daily target is nearer than a specified range. The first time around, run it from the commandline to configure. Configuration is stored in ~/.geohash/geohash.cfg. Use --help for info about commandline parameters. Source. Linux 32-bit upx compressed binary.

Javascript

Semi-manual offline calculator

If you're going to be away from internet access, you'll need to compute the hash locally:

Notes

All you need is a Javascript-enabled browser. Tested in Firefox so far.
You will have to somehow acquire the Dow's opening value for the appropriate date; there may be a service to do this.
- Remember, if you're east of 30W, you should use the previous day's opening price, even if a new one becomes available later in the day.
The date is filled in automatically using the current timestamp.
You'll have to combine the computed fractional coordinates with your graticule coordinates yourself.
I grabbed MD5 and base conversion code from random internet sites.

Geo::Hashing on CPAN

This implementation IS FULLY 30W-compliant.

Reusable code library that can be used from any perl program:

Code snippets

This implementation IS FULLY 30W-compliant.

Various code snippets can be found at Implementations/Libraries/Python.

Python package `xkcd.geohash`

This implementation IS NOT 30W-compliant.

There is Python package xkcd.geohash which is independent of the interactive coordinate calculator (but uses Google Finance as well).

Python 3 standard library

In Python 3.1 and above, an implementation of the geohashing algorithm is included in the antigravity module. Unfortunately importing the module will open a web browser.

>>>import antigravity
(opens the xkcd comic)
>>>antigravity.geohash(34,-118,b'2012-04-09-13057.57')
34.386614 -118.231675

RESTful implementation with Atom feed

This implementation IS FULLY 30W-compliant.

The source for the Atom feed is available through anonymous svn here: https://staticfree.info/svn/ghfeed/

This implementation uses web.py to give simple, clean URLs. To contribute to it, please contact xxv and he can set you up with commit access.
