folding@home progress monitor

[redeye be]

I'm not even sure I'm interested in doing any widget development. Besides, I've not seen anything of it, though I'm reasonably good with JavaScript.

Right now, I'm more interested in implementing changes for my progress monitor that I planned for 2004 before the drive crash killed my spirit.

It would be nice to see 8 process support as well as single process support in the same, flexible code.

I was talking to trainguy about being interested in taking over the widget.
And i have no intention at all to burden you with any work on it. If trainguy77 decides to take up development, it's up to him wether to nag you for widget support

Good luck on coding, keep up the spirit!

Cheers

If i knew enough coding i would do it but......I have only done a little Java, a little Cocoa, and C. So i don't know how much I would have to learn to do it.
O and i know HTML/CSS/XHTML
I would be willing but......

O I just thought of 1 more thing, I don't have 10.4 but i can use Amnestry to test them, then i could have someone else make sure it also works on 10.4. But i bet it if it works with Amnestry it would work with 10.4. I am a fast learner so maybe i will do some poking around with the current code i see if i can figure it out.

I could end up eliminating the need for a widget but I'm not sure how interested I am in making a whole lot of extra work for myself. Right now, I have to focus on basics and re-creating source code.

My current enhancements list is:

• Flexible process support (1-8 processes with only those active showing--possible compact interface option)
• Preferences displays to support various options, some prior to availability
• Networking interface with future ability to show all configured machines, regardless of location

I'd like to be able to suppport displaying off queue data and various data given by Stanford and Overclockers but a lot of these things are wish list only.

I really think that the Widget could be combined with your program. I am not sure how this would look. But all the code for getting info from the stats site is already in the widget.

I was a little bored so......


I just got used to a bit of the code. Not all of it, as there is alot of code.....for me. But i figured this much out. Now i need to find a way to integrate with the program....or we need to talk about if we want to do this....

I'll take a look at it when I get a couple of minutes. I need to read up on the equivalent HTML reading bits for Java that JavaScript and widgets have available to them.

widget give us a few minutes to decide what we're doing before anyone has a widget to test?

I downloaded a Konfabulator widget to check that as well. If we can make it work many places, I would be more inclined to be involved with something else but Java can already do that. I just need to figure it out. That way, it works on Linux as well.
