New interactive map (Geco)

I love it! I didn't know about the commercial flight earlier this month until I saw the highlighted grat way out over the Atlantic on your map. By the way, how are you counting geohashers? The map says there were 22 for Newark. -- Jevanyn 12:06, 27 March 2012 (EDT)

It's a fuzzy logic estimate from parsing the expedition reports, the same that apr uses for the Current events page and I used for the Narrative chart. Ideally, any unique name having participated in any expedition in that graticule is counted. -- relet 12:08, 27 March 2012 (EDT)

That. Is. Awesome.

Hey - thank you! -- relet 18:29, 3 April 2012 (EDT)

Hi relet, can you tell me how I should structure geohash pages to maximise the chance of all the participants being included on your map? Originally I thought that just linking people would do it, but 2012-06-10_-37_145 tells me "no registered wiki users were recognized as participants."

Hmm, did you change the page recently? It seems to have picked up all four of you by now. It parses the expedition pages for the last two months every night (CET), and everything else once a month. -- relet 03:31, 21 June 2012 (EDT)
Yeah, you're right. I did fiddle with it a little, by just moving the names around a bit. Here's another example that doesn't work - can you shed some light on this: 2011-12-27 -36 149? I've mentioned Talex a few times in there, does it need to be in a certain format? --Felix Dance 19:00, 21 June 2012 (EDT)
I think it just hasn't updated since your edit, but I'm not certain. The name had been given in the old version too, so I might have made a mistake in identifying the categories. I'll look into that. -- relet 04:42, 22 June 2012 (EDT)

Halloo, relet. Is today a good time to figure out why the Geco won't pick up the expeditions from my page? [1] shows one trip to Germany instead of two (or three, if you add the non successful one); misses at least two of my Washington expeditions (16th and 17th down from the top). In other words, the ones it chose seem to have no pattern, and I can't help you debug more than that. Looking to have all 96 graphically represented. Ideas? --Thomcat 11:05, 24 July 2012 (EDT)

Hi. I checked and didn't find the reports in my database yet. The full update (for expeditions older than two months) only runs once a month, and it seems the report is more recent than that. I'm running it now and will check if it works then. -- relet 04:53, 25 July 2012 (EDT)
The scheduled job also got confused by a recursive category apparently. Anyway, it's running now. -- relet 05:08, 25 July 2012 (EDT)
Looks much better - now I have two German attempts out of three. I haven't counted the points to see if all my geohashes are covered. At least one is not - 2009-02-22 51 10. Definitely older than two months ;) --Thomcat 12:30, 30 July 2012 (EDT)

New version of the centicle selector

I've made a new version of the centicle selector, now with graticle switching capabilities: http://jsbin.com/equvix/latest . You should probably update your hosted version. JesseW 00:49, 15 May 2012 (EDT)

Sorry, bad link: try this: http://jsbin.com/equvix/19?lat=32&lng=-117

Hosting for a the ambassador flyer in .doc (and .pdf) formats?

Danatar sent me the Ambassador flyer in .doc format, which I can't upload to the wiki. Could you host it? JesseW 03:08, 1 June 2012 (EDT)
