With JC's help, I've been able to get a slight twist in the The Center of PerlMonk Mass code; now I have weighted the results based on a users' XP (excluding the large weighting that vroom would possibly contribut). Surprisingly or not, this only causes the center of mass to shift slightly (~100mi) towards Seattle. There's some changes as well for the North American subset and European subset as well.

Because we get new users all the time, I've cron'ed these center of mass script to run twice a month (while the PM Other Users Locator is still running every 10 minutes).

You can see these maps at http://mneylon.masemware.com/pm/. I've fixed the graphics to be jpgs instead of the much larger pngs that were causing download problems.

It's not what you know, but knowing how to find it if you don't know that's important

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
