EOC Folding @ Home - Stats News & Updates

| Thanks for all the emails...07.11.06, 12:46pm CST |
I check my email this morning and get a ton of messages from people saying their stats haven't updated.
The problem wasn't technically my fault. It is a bug in PHP 5.1.4 (that is fixed in 5.2 snaps). The CLI shouldn't timeout (it should overwrite whatever setting is in the ini file), but it did. So when it would process a larger team that took over 60 seconds it would kill the script. I manually set these vars for the processing scripts so they shouldn't time out anymore. I manually ran the 9am & 12pm updates and they completed properly so everything should be okay.
If for some reason you experience any further issues, please don't hesitate to send me an email. |

| Upgraded Some Things On The Server...07.10.06, 3:48pm CST |
I did some server updates right before the 3pm stats run. It ran very quick and I'm not sure if it's just due to the upgrade from PHP4 to PHP5 or if something went terribly wrong.
If you encounter any problems with the numbers, please, please contact me immediately. Be sure to include as much info as you can! Simply saying they are broke is not going to help me any.

| Team 0 Changes01.23.06, 10:36am CST |
This is really just a post for Team 0 users. Incase you haven't noticed, the userid numberings have changed once again.
I was able to pull an old backup from the end of September and extract all the Team 0 users. From there I re-ran the updates for the files that I had on the server, which ranged from mid-December to current.
Most people should have reverted to their old UserID, I'm sure a few on the tail end probably got new IDs (once again). However, this should hopefully be the last time.
I've made several changes to the team 0 code to prevent the team from getting dumped when Stanford provides a bad data file. *crosses fingers* |

| Stanford Error...01.02.06, 2:37pm CST |
Thanks for all the emails guys, however the problem was not my stats, it was an issue on Stanford's side. For 3-4 updates their data files were not listing any users, thus there was nothing that coule be processed.
An unfortunate side effect of that was all the team 0 people got purged & re-created because the data file was large enough to be parsed, but was missing all the people.
Anyhow, looks like everything is back to normal. |

| CSV Export Available12.31.05, 4:45pm CST |
I made a quick CSV export option available for users. It will export ALL your data (Points, WUs, Rank). It only outputs 1 record per day max, but the info should be more than useful for people that want to do some graphing or trend analysis on their stats.
More info can be found on the "Stats Export Info" page.
Sorry I haven't done more with the stats lately. But free time for me is few and far between.
Enjoy... |

| Small Update11.01.05, 11:40am CST |
I'm sorry there haven't been more updates lately. I just haven't had any free time to work on the stats. Always too much to do and not enough time to do it.
First - daylight savings time change came and went a couple days ago. Sometimes PHP can act weird and produce erratic results in the stats around the two times of the year when the time changes. I didn't notice anything strange but there's always the possiblity it may happen in the future.
Second - I made a slight tweak to the team processing script. We aren't talking about any major speed increase, it was already tweaked quite a bit, but every little bit counts.
Third - I added in SQL_NO_CACHE to all the SELECT statements in the processing scripts. Since they are all single-use queries there was no reason to fill up the query cache with thousands of queries that would just have to be pruned later.
Fourth - I am only saving about 14 days worth of the raw data files now. I don't think anyone ever downloads them, but just so you know. Even with them being compressed they do take up a lot of file space.
I made a few other small changes to the code, but nothing worth mentioning. Hopefully nothing broke, I guess we will find out with the next update. |

| XML Update & Sig Images Update08.24.05, 4:36pm CST |
I have made some changes to the XML output. Iit's likely to break any current scripts requesting the data. Anyhow, if you are one of the few people that use the XML, check the XML Info page (and view a request) to see what's new, it's pretty self explanatory.
I made a page for the sig images, you can find the link along the left sidebar. Right now it pretty much just duplicates the info found in the forum thread. |

| I still have other work to do, but...08.22.05, 5:02pm CST |
I know I still haven't had a chance to finish the team summary / new user pages, but I figured I would give you guys this little tidbit for fun.
Any user (that is in the EOC stats) can generate their own sig image.
The most basic example is like this:
You can find out all the info about how to configure a sig image in this forum thread.

| The stats are not broken...08.22.05, 9:54am CST |
A lot of people have noticed their numbers jump in the past few updates. This is not a bug, Stanford is running a script to give credit to missing WUs. Read All About It Here!
I'm not sure how all those WUs went un-noticed, but anyways... Enjoy the free points while they last. |
|
| At a good stopping point for today...08.03.05, 5:18pm CST |
I uploaded some more changes to the Team Summary page that I've been working on this afternoon.
Things to keep in mind under the "Team User Info" table:
- New = New users within the past 7 days. (Change up/down is calculated based on the 7 days before that.)
- Active = Active users, same as in the other tables. (Again, change up/down is calculated based on 7 days before that.)
- Inactive = Total - Active Users
- Total = Total Users
- Avg PPD = Average Active User's Points Per Day (24hr avg).
Some of the info has popup percentages if you hover over the numbers. Also the "New Users" has a link that actually lists the new users. I still need to modify the table display to show the date they joined.
The production group totals should be an indicator on how your folders are doing. If you hover over the numbers it will popup percentages.
Don't get discouraged if the number of new members shows a big drop. I had to reload some of that data last week (see post below). It should be "normal" by tomorrow.
I'm still not done, so please don't freak out... If you do notice anything displaying incorrectly, don't hesitate to send me an email. |
