Cool! 4 Macs, I'm jealous.

Are any of those computers running PPC?

Do you use the Adjacent Teammates section?

Yes, local info only

Ran all night, local info only.

Does it look for a link locally (for FaH's info)?

It gets your user name and team number from the folding@home client. You can verify that it has the correct user name and team number on the back and change it if necessary. If it is correct and it continues to fail you may want to check your firewall or if you have little snitch, you may want to check that.

The actual address it uses is the same for all clients. The only difference is the user name and team number. If the above fails you may want to remove it completely and open a new one to see if that fixes the problem.

Also if you PM me your user name and team number I can check here to see if there are any issues.

lyzardking... I found a bug in the widget with certain user names that have unusual characters in them. If this is the case with you, let me know. I believe I have fixed the error, but I want to be sure.

by unusual characters I mean charaters like . / _ etc. I found one script that didn't escape them properly. I have an update if you're interested otherwise you can wait for 1.0.1 when I upload it.

Here's a link to the bug fix: http://sites.google.com/site/pgwalsh/f-h-wudget

Any plans for showing more than one work unit?

What do you mean by more than one work unit? Do you have multiple folding clients running on one machine?

If you have multiple folding clients on one machine then, no. I originally supported this, but was asked discourage from doing so by Folding@home. They didn't wan that with the new SMP clients.

I do have written code for it and could put it back in, but it requires you two open more than one instance of the widget.

I have 2 units running at the same time (only on dual quad core machines), I wouldn't try it on anything less.

Anything else that I have currently folding runs one unit (per machine).

No need to give me "special" code, I was just asking.

Cool... The original one has it built in. You just run two instances. Doesn't matter to me personally, but I thought it was cool.

I just realized that I left most of the code in, so you could open another instance of the widget and it should display process of your second client. The only thing it wont do properly is monitor if your core is active, stalled or failed. I haven't build that in, but you will see progress etc.

There's a new version.

Good job.
Now any chance you would switch to Team Mac Rumors

If there are no issues with this version, I probably wont add anything new for a while. But I do have ideas for a future release. Mostly to do with remote computers. Just have to get over some hurdles.

I appreciate where you live. Was down there for my birthday in September. Stayed in the cottages at the Coronado. I absolutely love SD.

Project Has Changed.
Unfortunately I have to change the project until I can find a third party that will allow me to access their Stats. Vijay Pande has asked me not to access the pages directly and I will obviously comply. I urge you to PLEASE remove your widget until we can find an alternative solution. If you do not remove the widget your IP address may get banned by Folding@HOme.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

*Note: All download have been removed from this site.

You can download a local only client from here: http://sites.google.com/site/pgwalsh/f-h-wudget

I'll post it on Apple.com and MacUpdate soon.

SciFrog · Feb 16, 2010, 09:54 PM

Could you give more details? How much load the widget could really generate...

Anyway, on the old version the local info is broken with SMP2 units...

How old is your version? SMP2 cores are still in testing, but I should have an update that should work with them.

It's not the load they are concerned about, but more accessing cgi pages with a script, even if it just downloads a page and doesn't crawl.

Extreme Overclocking has allowed us to use their stats and I'm working on an update. There will be changes with some new stuff and some things going away.

ETA 1/2 weeks

SciFrog · Feb 17, 2010, 03:30 PM

I thought I had the latest version... SMP2 was broken but not on all units. It would be nice to include the bonus calculation in the PPD...

Thank you for doing this, we'll see what you have for us in a few days
