Talk to me!

Sure, I'll talk to you. Here is what I have to say "Photos... Photos... Photos... I crave photos..." --Kieran 22:54, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Psud, you're eligible for this award for the Kambah hash. Joannac 05:58, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

~~Is there a particular reason you took down the historical lists from amipsychic.net? I was using them for my Google Maps Script. --Hermann 13:48, 2 July 2008 (UTC)~~
Thanks! --Hermann 16:33, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

For your information: There is a hole (I mean a needles newline) in the W30-data:

2009-03-09,6595.16,0.6171403283710879,0.2402096122688408

Problems with Geohashing historical data

Hello, I've been using your Geohashing data for my KML Generator, but I noticed some discrepancies with the data. I wrote a script to analyse it (I used the non-W30 coordinates) and here are the results:

empty line after 2008-12-02
2008-12-26 skipped days since 2008-12-24
2009-01-02 skipped days since 2008-12-31
2009-02-17 skipped days since 2009-02-15
empty line after 2009-03-08
2009-04-13 skipped days since 2009-04-09
2009-05-26 skipped days since 2009-05-24
2009-06-04 skipped days since 2009-06-02
2009-07-06 skipped days since 2009-07-02

If you could take a look and see if they can be fixed, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for your hard work! --Wenslayer 04:01, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! --Wenslayer 21:57, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

The coordinates for 2009-04-11 to 2009-04-13 (including) are still off the reference. Peeron uses the DIJA value of 7839.89 from 2009-04-10. Did not check the others. --Hermann 16:20, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

BTW, here is the verification script: verify_coord_data.pl. --Wenslayer 23:56, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Update 21:04, 31 May 2010 (UTC): Hello Psud, running my verify_coord_data.pl script today against your data, I see the following problems:

If you could investigate, I'd appreciate it -- thanks very much! --Wenslayer 21:04, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Update 01 Nov 2013 (UTC): Hi Psud. Albeit you don't seem to be active in the wiki any more, I have a request. I recently noticed that your service providing historical coordinates stopped being updated in 2011. In case you lost interest in Geohashing, could you please send me the sources so I can fiddle around with them? I still want to see which places I missed in other graticules from time to time. Kind regards --Hermann (talk) 11:55, 1 November 2013 (EDT)
