They could be fairly close - I haven't yet pinpointed them in their States, but the states are adjacent. Could this be the difference between location and registered office to use UK terminology? Or are Timothy and his servers just separated? After all, it is possible ot live on one continenet and have a server on another.
Geolocation via IP address is a guess, and often a bad guess. One of my servers is in Washington (state) but various geolocation algorithms place it in Utah or Texas - that's roughly the same error as placing Rochdale in Greece.
Tim said his whois is correct, so "whois pearsoncomputing.net" on the command line implies that his server is in Belvidere Illinois, a mere three hundred miles from geolocation's guess.
I had got an idea of Illinois from somewhere, but the idea was so vague I didn't want to rely on it. :-/
