Can someone "fix" XKCD 1335 ("Now") so that the current time is at the 12 o'clock position?

Since the image is actually rebuilt server-side to reflect the current rotation of the earth, it's simple to just rotate it with CSS based on the current time:

That would be very difficult without the server-side code.

Maybe someone can think of a clever way though.

Here is a way to get any time you want from it: http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/now/20h30m.png

Only one problem - both of these (rather cool) implementations show the incorrect time.

[RodEsp]

Mine should show the correct time (it uses your system time), what makes you say it doesn't?

As of 15:36 UTC, the xkcd version has noon pointing at the S in "Canadian Maritimes", while yours has noon pointing at the U in "US East Coast". My browser timezone is currently GMT, and system time is accurate.

Well, I'm not sure how the XKCD version does it but if you draw a straight line from the middle of the map to your location and continue to the hour on mine it should match your system time pretty closely. The XKCD version doesn't create such a match for my time (even with daylight saving factored in).

Please let me know if that's not true for you on mine though. I'd like to fix it if it's wrong.

There's a few Android widgets you can get that'll do it
