All Donations Help With Server Expenses & Future Features

UPDATE: Tuesday, January 29th 2013 The front page has been updated with new information!

Colors Changed....04.29.04, 9:34pm CST Well, I finally got around to changing the colors... Team points increased 100%, and individual points increased about 65-70%... I think haysdb (from SPCR) was about the only non-EOC person to speak up with their thoughts on the points change. Team color codes are as follows: 0 / 1+ / 3k+ / 6k+ / 20k+ / 40k+ / 60k+ / 100k+ User color codes are as follows: 0 / 1+ / 125+ / 250+ / 500+ / 900+ / 1.4k+ / 2k+ I think tonight I'm going to try and implement the code to start recording active users, so that a chart can be made to show how the team is doing over time... I have a to-do thread that's slowly growing with things (since I can't keep track of them all in my head). I've been considering putting up a PayPal dontation button... I put in a lot of hard hours of work, but my biggest reward is just that you guys get a kick out of the stats. I can't even begin to count the posts at various forums that I read when someone starts mentioning their "color" in the stats, and how proud they are to have reached it, and everyone knows exactly what they are talking about. Seriously though, maybe I'm just too humble a person to ask for donations, but if you really want to help out, please visit some of the google advertisers in the banner across the top. It pays based on performance (i.e. clicks), and it's actually kinda cool to visit some of the non-computer related advertisers. I found a couple sites that sell some really awesome french doors and ceiling fans... lol. Rather than just a single thread, I created a dedicated forum section just for discussing the folding stats. You do need to be a member to post (you can browse as a guest), registration is free and only takes a minute to sign up. Other than that... who's excitied about all the new things coming out in this summer? We got ATI launching the X800 next week... Retail video cards should hopefully start appearing by the end of the month or early June (if all goes well). Intel is going to be releasing their Alderwood & Grantsdale chipsets which means support for DDR2 (finally) and some PCI Express action! Lastly we can't forget AMD and the long awaited socket 939 FX chips and boards... It's gonna be a fun summer, thats for sure. Oh yeah, don't forget to visit the EOC Deals Page for some excellent deals on computer & electronics (and sometimes other things).

Where does the time go?04.24.04, 9:37pm CST Weeks seem to go by like days... *sigh* Anyhow, I do plan on updating the stats when I get some free time. Unfortunatly I got to earn a living first. I am aware of the points changes, I figured I would give things a few days to average out before I shift the colors to reflect the new points scale. (Plus I think a lot of people are enjoying their new colors.) I might be able to add a few things in tomorrow, just minor stuff that I've been wanting to do, like show points from the last update on the main listing tables (so you don't have to keep going to the summary pages), I also need to do a little back-end for for better error-handling. On a side note, I've been working on a PC database that is tied into the forum. I've only been telling myself that I would get it up for over a year or two now... hehe... Better late then never I guess. It's still in rough stages, and the search & compare page isn't up yet either... Check out MyRig. Jason

No I haven't forgotten about the stats.04.13.04, 12:39am CST Sorry there haven't been any updates or new features lately. I haven't forgotten about the stats, and I still have all the emails, PMs, and posts with requests and ideas. Things have just been busy with the rest of the site, and of course this past weekend was Easter, and also I still have to do my income tax (yeah I know the 15 is just a couple days away). I'm probably going to be pretty tied up for the rest of the week, so don't expect anything new until next week at the earliest. (Yeah I know I say that but I always end up working on the stats some when I take a break from work.)

Changed Colors Some...04.06.04, 12:34pm CST I know how sensitive you all are about the production colors, and I went through great pains trying to find colors that were distinguishable on both bright & dark monitors, and not to mention looked good. I toned down blue just a shade, not it's not as bright. Also the yellowish color is a dark red. I had to keep the bright red as the highest color. ;) Because of the dark red I had to change the hover color, so I figured that was a good use for the previous yellow. Let me know if you like/dislike the changes, problems / issues / comments are always welcome. I *was* thinking of adding a color between the black and blue... (maybe purple, if I can get it to look decent). The point area for it would be 1500+ for teams & 75+ for individuals. It might add a little more color... What do you guys think? You can post here: Link to discussion thread about Folding Stats v2. Or just send me an email (through the contact us page). Jason

What the.....04.05.04, 12:42pm CST Now the graphs are showing the proper times before daylight savings... very very very weird... Anyhow, I fixed another minor bug related to new users. Before the first update would still display them as inactive, and not display their first points on any graphs or tables. That bug has been fixed. Also I went ahead and color-coded the "new members", though keep in mind any of them listed before last night will probably display inactive until their next update because of the above mentioned bug.

One more little addition...04.04.04, 7:20pm CST On the use listings page, there is a little dropdown on the left side to display only active users on the team. This kinda gives people a better picture of how people on the team are doing since some teams have a lot of inactive users.

The heck?04.04.04, 6:09pm CST I swear I made another news post and it saved it... oh well... here's another shot... Time adjustments have been completed, I looked over all the files and everything should be find with the jump back one hour to the midnight/3/6/etc. schedule. On the otherhand, daylight savings seems to have done its own freaky thing. PHP's mktime function likes to auto-adjust for DST, so it throws everything off before midnight by 1 hour. (and there are two 3am updates being displayed, which is a bug in PHP and should be fixed by 4.3.6). Anyhow, all the historical numbers shouldn't be affected (except for the double 3am thing), they are just off by an hour in the display. By tomorrow evening things should be back to normal.

Shifting Time...04.04.04, 3:41pm CST I'm shifting updates & time displays to: 0,3,6,9,12,15,18,21 hours (CST) instead of 1,4,7,... I was watching stanford and they update about an hour ahead of the NEW update times, so things should still be kosher. Some numbers will be thrown off since an update ran at 1pm, then again at 3pm (since 1pm is within the 3 hour time frame). I need to go through all the files to make sure they are referencing proper time intervals and such. Also I haven't gotten to fix the previously mentioned bug, I'll try to do that too...

Yet another bug discovered...04.04.04, 10:15am CST Ugh... I found a little bug that mostly affects users with low production, but also can offset some other user's historical data a little. Always something... lol...

Added another page...04.02.04, 8:21pm CST I added an "extra" page for team & user pages. Basically this is just the production history by hour, and production history as total points. A couple people really wanted these so I figured I would throw them up on a separate page. I might be adding another graph on that page later, if I can get it to look right. On a side note, I need to do some code cleanup before I really dive into the next big project for the folding stats, so don't expect anything big for a while.
