Rankings on home page

I've noticed a few times that the rankings table on the home page doesn't always show the same top ten.

Just now when I came to the site, it said this:

Code: Select all

	bok 	190
 	zzzz 	181
 	abes 	165
 	Tenebrar 	159
 	Captain Segfault 	153
 	dk39ab 	128
 	gfoot 	128
 	Iain 	128
 	snarkophilus 	115
 	iceman 	115

However, normally tails is at the top, followed by adum, with over 700 points each. Refreshing the page puts it right again. Weird!

the way i update the scores is lazy: i reset to zero then add points for things. it's not atomic, so occasionally you'll load the page in the middle of a recalc.
