Reader50, I just wanted to say thanks for the great page. I know I check your page every day to see how I am doing. (I like seeing my rate change. :))

My Fold code on teamstats tries for an update every 30 minutes. It checks the "data updated at" tag on each page, and only grabs a page if it is newer than before. In practice, Stanford seems to update only every three hours. If they ever speed their servers up, our code will follow the updates.

Zeke, concerning rate tracking. Stanford and most other projects provide only a running total. It is up to us to take a snapshot, save it in a database, and do analysis over time. As of today, the teamstats database is over 3.2 GB of data for 58 teams across 5 projects.
In addition to tracking MacRumors in Folding, we now track you in SETI also. teamstats.macnn.com/seti1/stats.php?TID=139691 - updated every 15 minutes.

We do not track MacRumors in dFold, RC5-72, or D2OL. Ubero stats will be next, not sure about tracking there.

For those looking for interteam comparisons, they have long been in the planning and our data definitions have allowed for that from the start. Unfortunately, the stats code has been in development for a long time, and I've not gotten to those modules yet. Sorry. :)
wow, you track us on seti, omg. that is indeed a sad site... (I mean our SETI ranking, it doesn't apear)
That is roughly what 550 MB per team? (probably calculating wrong)
anyway what was talking about was main page , the rankings that is 24 hour, I think, cause that is what it says, updates somewhere around 1 AM (EST).

Great site tho, we all must complement you. The stats are clean and clear cut, they look good too. :D

Thanks for coming over hear reader50.
Edit: looking at the SETI page for a moment ( :eek: ) I notice some weird things happening... here. 0 rank *error, impossible* not a glitch but a function, shows total not specific OS

Ah thanks again, You da man!

Ok, will try to answer ...

The Changes page This shows when people join/leave, and initial members when tracking of your team began. Our seti1 section got running only a few days ago.

Ranks on "team" We are moving all our stats stuff off of "team.macnn.com" and onto dedicated servers on "teamstats.macnn.com". The old stats code on "team" is specific to MacNN and would not adapt well to multiple teams. Also, it was turning into a maintenance hog. They are still running until teamstats versions are ready, which will allow recentering on other teams, and will update every 1(seti) - 3(fold) hours.

MacRumors rank numbers The member data page does not supply a team's rank. You have to get that from Top 200 All or Top 200 Club teams. Both are checked separately, but MacRumors could not be found in either list. You guys need to do something about that. ;)

Rank of zero If the rank data can't be found, it's zero. The stats bar and tables trap that and do not show invalids. I need to reset a graph control to kill it in the graphs too. Thanks for spotting that. (edit: fixed)

Power graphs by OS The projects do not provide a way to determine power. I do it based on the weekly average rate, with a long-term plan to allow users to enter OS-breakdown data. This would allow the graph to present a full breakdown in addition to the total. This part is scheduled to get written after the interteam Ranks stuff, which is to say, sometime this century. Oh well. I'll probably turn off the legend key until that feature is ready.

Don't be guilty about hitting our pages, we put them up to see what the enemy is doing ... uh, well, for the good of the community. :D

ps - linking directly to a graph doesn't work well, they delete after an hour or a day (varies by project). Otherwise, the graphs folder would soon be larger than the database. Capture and attach to the forum post.

Ah thanks for clearing that up and for the advice. :D
So tell me what (Folding) updates every 3 hours, the specific team stats right... okay but the 'team' page or the rankings updated every 24 hours. Thanks for fixing them glitches... :D

Anyway, what happenes when you guys are too threatened? You rank page says many many threats, but the image...

Again thanks for traveling the long journey cross-sites. ;) (I tried joining before we passed you but I keep having problems enterning comments in your team forum :( )
 
The team's Opportunity / Threat bars are disconnected on teamstats. They still work on the original team side, and will work everywhere once the new Ranks modules are done.

About our forum, the team forum is supposed to allow posting by unregistered users. It worked under UBB, but something isn't working right under vBB. It still says unregistered can post, but does not allow it in practice. The forum admins will look into it someday, for the moment you have to register.

I registed a couple times but after trying to post at several different times I gave up... :(
It said I didn't have the board admin/mod permission to reply... bah.

Not a real problem tho.

If the teamstats bar opp/threats are disconnected then why not remove it so people don't get confused like I was? :D

But ... but ... they are going to be done Real Soon Now(tm):p

They work for individuals, and I'd really like to get them running for teams. Need to quit my job maybe.

Ha...good one.

I haven't had time to do more than check out "fopen"-ing to a web site and seeing what I can do to strip out data...maybe I should quit my job and grad school. ;)

Yeah yeah ??@ anyway. ;)

On a side note I keep finding the little things to the stats pages on macnn... :D
The forum of MacAddict4Ever should reflect here.
and
MacOsX team's forums are here...

On a non-macnn note: Its offical MacAddict4Ever has become dilusional that we are not beating them by almost 800 points a day...
By TonyPrevite: (their forums)
I warned those macrumors guys that they may have awakened the snoozing beast with that little stunt (although they vehemently deny doing it)
Yeah, one time incident because of you lack of password, you still haven't given a image or show of proof...

I hope they keep their spirits high because I don't see our production slowing for any reason.

Happy folding. :D

Fixed in scripts, correct links will show with tomorrow's update. Also, forum links will be enabled in the rank3 long page. They were off to hold down the page size, but there are not enough of them to matter.
Ok, I praise you for being so fast.

2. I'm sorry about me being dumb, but, whats the rank3 long page? :wait: I found it the top 100 list. Okay i see the links aren't enabled, okay okay. I see what you mean, goodjob. :D

Ok, so they're getting motivated and they have a huge advantage.....how do we get more machines? I really wish I could get a few at work and I'll try asking a few coworkers who might be simpathetic.

But they'll be pcs, anything special I should know about setting up pcs?

D
 
PCs are pretty straightforward to set up. We usually use the graphical client running in the toolbar in our lab. It runs on start up by default.

We try to make it as "set it and forget it" as possible.

That is possible, but if you know alot more about the PCs you can run in background, just takes more knowledge.

to tell you the truth, the PCs aren't worth that much of our time.

lol, maybe not in real life, but for folding they count for a decent percentage of the team.

woah did some people stop posting on this forum or something, less people posting all of a sudden...
 
PC folders

I got 4 of my PC friends to fold for macrumors, the only thing that bugs me is that all four of them are making me look bad. I've finished only 6 WU's and they have all finished 10 or more, one is nearing 20.....

And I started folding before all of them.

All mac teams would be much better if the mac core was optomized and didn't run like bull-****.

Thanks for adding to the team. :D
 
core

Speaking of the core, does anyone have any ideas on when it will be optimized, or do we just wait for Stanford to take the initiative? It kinda makes macs look bad, even though the comps themselves aren't the direct problem.

The gromac core (optomized) is coming, but they keep delaying, adding stuff, etc.

Every month I go over to the forums, rant and rave and then forget about it. They have been saying its coming for a damn good time, we need it NOW!
