Pinky - looks like the overall WCG stats are borked in everyones sigs for some reason 

Mine shows something like 1.6M at the moment, when it should be around 23M - and others over at WCG are reporting similar probs, including 2 who seem to be sharing exactly the same stats:


Maybe WCG have changed the way they do the stats feed?

All seem to be back in line again now  - was that you waving your magic wand Pinky? 


[JC] or is it that it corrects itself/goes haywire at certain update times? 

not unless i waved a magic wand in my sleep...


was it regular wcg stats, or wcg boinc?    shouldn't be going haywire if it's regular wcg stats, unless like you said they changed something.  i don't really follow the forums over there, so i don't know when/if they do....

found where y'all were talking about it over there...   if pinning it to a single update time, i'm guessing it's the 9pm one my time - 3am your time.  next update that "fixes" it would be 9am.    will look tonight to see if anything looks odd...

Cheers Pinky - and sorry for not posting the WCG linky 

Mine says invalid user name.   

very strange that wcg stats aren't working properly....would have figured i'd hear about boinc stats based on a change with that recently...haven't touched wcg.



what username is that under?  phicksus?

Yes phicksus 

oh this is fun..




seems there is a max point to size there...get enough users, exceed the amount of time script is allowed to run on host server.

has me pondering of version 2.0 long term solution, as i plan to hide from single digit temps all weekend...    definitely need to add something to track which sigs are being used, and which can be removed to keep things efficient....and fix a few hiccups along the way....

actually...no, it's not all on my side...

Your learning fast young Smapwalker............ First an enhancement, and then passing the blame onto the real culprit

can't seem to replicate it, so i'm guessing the issue was with wcg side - i read they tweaked some of their xml stuff recently...

Please say that dosen't mean no enhancements............. remember if it works add more features till it don't - that what our sales staff believes 

Sorry........ bad day with the marktoids today - seems more vaporware has been sold

mmm, vaporware...


i'll need to do something - right now, i think a couple of things colided at once to create this issue.  wcg xml stats being messed up (and i have the file downloads to prove it ), host seems to have started limiting the amount of time scripts can run (i know they were running longer then 30 sec in the past), and possibly one other thing i can't quite pin-point yet

 

Sounds like they be locking a little - resource issues, every stat generator hitting them at the same times could be causing the issue. The XML errors could be a sign that they are trying to improve the process on their end. Plus XML is a bloated verbose and generally nasty way to exchange data.......

  - that is sales mentality, that and doing one off display hacks to prove a point.

possibly resource issues....though in general, they're a host that oversells horribly, which generally means they don't care as much about resource issues.


yep, i figure that about the xml issues, they apparently made some upgrades to it recently, just waiting to hear if they upgraded it in a way that's good for me.   oh and yes, xml is far too bloated...though it beats having to scrape the html pages

Point taken about scraping html - nice idea would be an set DB format that all stats generators would agree on........... but that would require a great deal of corporation between the developers and the stats folks, but could be re-usable across all bionic projects............. I know - pie in the sky

one of the guys at find-a-drug had a pretty good idea, of parsing their stat-pages, and outputting in a nice csv format.


right now at least all the boinc projects are standard....can use basically the same parser for all of those.  non-boinc projects on the other hand....

Doesn't say invalid anymore but the numbers are wrong.     I think its progress though.    

workin on it... tried running the stats script manually, and it seems to be working fine...so maybe it's more an issue of timing, possibly running it during stat update times.

Looks fine now Pinky.   

When I looked at mine last night on another page, it said I had 2 million points!
