[FAD]Stats Tue 30th Sept. Midnight GMT

[Win2Kuser]

Anyone know how to make a few more hours in the day?

I am currently doing 12 hour nights 6 til 6 helping out on a few projects at work. It takes me half an hour to and from work, these stats take me an hour, so that leaves me 10 hours, I sleep for 6, which leaves me just 4 hours to spend time with the family, eat, drink, get ready for work etc etc etc. - NIGHTMARE!!!!

TT's been nagging at me to do an update on the FaD boards for our fortnightly progress, and I just havn't had the time. But I will get round to it. :rolleyes:

Anyway...

No new members.

Congratulations to CCristo who takes 1st place, and comiserations to WoZ who drops down to 2nd.

Milestones:
--------------
CCristo - 1st Place & 45 million molecules
cwizard - 4 million molecules
Manda - 3.5 million molecules & 200 thousand points
CHITA - 2 million molecules
MDS_XPC - 100 thousand points
ROBIN801 - 1 mollion molecules
akinsey - 20 thousand points

You could always cut down the sleep, w2k - who needs that! :lol:

J/J. We do appreciate your work on the stats!! :D

Well done, CCristo, good work. :)

Looks like Plums about to blast past Geobot tommorrow! :eek: How did he get way up there so fast? :p

Good work to Manda & SJ too, but they are gonna have to ramp it up if they wanna pass Cwiz any time soon. :D

So is TT if he wants to pass me. :devil:

Keep crunching everyone. :cool:

[Brydon]

I just wanted to add my appreciation for the stats, I love checking them out every day and use them over statsman and the official stats to chart my progress, so keep up the good work as it is very much appreciated by us all :)

[Cowboybooter]

Nice stats!

Plum, once again that's a huge bunch of new points!

UhOh, akinsey's on my tail now!

:D

Bob

[Wizzard~Of~Ozz]

Good job CCristo, for now I've taken it back, but you have the momentum, keep up the great work.

Good job everyone, keep it up.

[tmx468]

Is anyone else having issues with their queues?? I normally just have Cancer selected, but even with everything selected, all I get to download are the 1EUP's... my queues are full of the damned things...
It happens on all 3 of my headed machines. Doing my head in right now!!

[GohanSSJ]

Hey Akinsey that's a cheap shot, don't make me come for you, we all know what happened to Cowboybooter. ;)

[Cowboybooter]

F/S 1 pair Elbow Crutches, little used, one previous owner!

:D

Bob

[CCristo]

Thanks guys. I have a feeling WoO and I will be leap frogging each other for a couple days. I don't think he is going to give up 1st place without a fight :)

Win2Kuser, How do you generate stats? Could it be automated at all?

[mondobyte]

Congrats CCristo. Commiserations WoZ

I like the stats too.

I'd be interested in helping to automate the stats. I have considerable programming experience ...

[PresterJohn]

glad to see akinsey on the stats...thought we 'lost' her :)

tmx, i got a d/l of those 1eup's just now...my first.

good going, people! :)

[sharder8]

Congrats to ya' CCristo! :D

On the home front, I don't think I'll last in 9th through the week, as I suspect Plum will roll over me within the week! :eek: I know I can't hold him off, but I'ma tryin'! :p

Go Plum!!! :D

Harder

[tmx468]

Well, I am setting up a couple of new crunchers, after losing my P4 2gig on saturday.
A P4 1.6, and an Ipaq 933....
The Ipaq is being rebuilt, the P4 was still fully built from previous use - Complete with Fad... and a 98% complete 1f45 - oh the joys of those!!

Hey ho!

Krunch on people!!

[Win2Kuser]

Automatic Stats eh?

I have looked into the idea of somehow feeding a php page from FaD stats, and having a progy that will format it, coalate it and output it into the way we like it. I havn't found an easy way yet.

What I need I think is someone with extensive excel experience who can guide me through a way of making it easier.

At the moment, I download the figures from FaD, then open up my excel document, manually move the places for members that have moved up/down the stats. I have two sections for jobs, hits, molecules, points and time - yesterdays and todays. I copy the information from today into yesterdays section, then enter the new information in todays section. I have several sections of calculations that deduct one from the other to give new jobs, hits etc.

In addition to this, I have a section for monday's points, tuesday points and so on. This section gives me an average uploaded points figure that I can then manually asign the arrows too to indicate a higher or lower average.

I then asign arrows indicating if someone has moved up or down in the stats.

Finally, I save the document as a PRN file (space separated format), open this in notepad, edit out the other info and code from the worksheet, than copy and paste into the forum.

Whew.

I could do this in about half an hour start to finish, I normally pause half way, have a coffee, couple of fags etc. which is why it takes over an hour. :)

What would be nice, is if I could copy and paste the info directly from the FaD site directly into excel and then have excel create a report (preferably in PRN format) that I can then copy into the forum.

Any ideas anyone.

If you would like to see the worksheet I use and have a play with it, you can download it from

Here (http://freespace.virgin.net/m.agar/XPCStatsPoints.xls) (64k) Note. If your browser doesn't support excel plugins, right click the link and click 'Save Traget as...'

Thanks in advance...

Don't get me wrong though, I DO enjoy doing these updates everyday, I knew the commitment I was getting myself into when I started doing them and believe me, if I didn't think I would be able to sustain doing them everyday, I would not have started them. Anyway, it's nice being able to see how the team is doing before anyone else ;)

Yeah, well I shot my load today (as the Bishop said to the Actress), and I don't think it's gonna quite be enough (the Actress replied). Joke was my 15-m long sneaker had the wrong kind of laces, so I had to lug the machines upstairs to do it. The efforts I make to keep that idiot quiet, for the benefit of all.


Geobot

One does get very sensitive to winds and drafts at your age. Please make sure you keep yourself wrapped up nice and warm.

ive been quiet thought i could slip one by you.. you dont miss much for and old guy

[Cowboybooter]

ROFL, this sneakernet business sounds really useful, conjures up a mental image of lugging desktops around in the middle of the night!

:D

...a mental image of lugging desktops around in the middle of the night... No No ! Not the desktop, only the computer. You must leave the desktop - and the rest of the desk - behind, because if you drop it and wake wife, it will alert her to the new Celeron on top of the desktop (at least it would have been before you dropped it.) Far better to let sleeping wives lie. (Apologies to any dogs reading this.)

Another tip when sneakernetting in the middle of the night - don't trip over the cable. If you do it going upstairs, you can catch yourself a nasty one when the chin hits the edge of the step. If you do it going downstairs, you won't live to be as old as Geobot is.

[tmx468]

:lol: Lol @ TT... Everything I use lives in my bedroom - much easier ;)

[mickwish]

LOL@TT :D :lol:

Your "shot" wasn't quite enough this time, but it was close enough to make me sweat. :eek:

Keep it up and you'll pass me eventually, TT! :D

BTW TT, if your long cat5 cable is the wrong type (striaght through instead of crossover, or vice versa) you can easily rewire the end if you can get hold of a crimper and a cat5 connector. I have a wiring diagram somewhere that would help ya if you want to try, Just PM me. :) Or you could take the whole cable into a computer repair shop and they might be able to do it for you there. Or sell you a whole new one. :rolleyes:

I knew Plum would pass Geobot - the Top 10 is within his sights!! :D

At the rate he's going there really isn't anyone he's not going to pass in the very near future. it is really interesting to watch his daily climb. its an awesome display of computer power. as some one else said it sure is nice he's on our team.

congrats to a great cruncher.

[mondobyte]

You know ... I've seen lots of folks progress along the curve asymptotic to the X-axis ... plum ugly is the first one to go around the bend and chart his progress asymptotic to the Y-axis!

I only wonder whether or not he will pass the whole passel of us at the top with just a single day's processing of his herd! Geesh ... I wonder if he has to call down to the power plant and ask them to throw on an extra lump or two for the FaD servers when he uploads just so the lights won't dim over at FaD.

[gino x]

Yeah but when I upload, there's only a blown fuse and tripped circuit breaker in the ol' power box that tells me I'm going to be last soon enough :(

I need ways to make more money...

[serlv ( Zippy )]

Good going, CCristo. Steadily churning 'em out at a high rate. Don't pause too long though for any time. You know WoO keeps on keeping on.

Plum, what can I say? There was a time I could keep ahead of you. Did for well over a year on our UD team(s). But I've had to get weaker, and you've gotten nothing but stronger. Alot stronger ( and I know you're not done yet ).

Everyone here on this team will be passed, I guarentee that! I'm your biggest fan. Get 'em, Ken.

[Twinkletoes]

Yeah, I can smell the sweat from here. Pass you eventually ? Too true, I hope, but I daresay we'll be chewing the cud for many a week. I shall start writing my "Fool Mickwish Uploading Strategy" handbook.

And if the worst comes to the worst I'll fake a letter from your electricity supply company saying the price is going up to 25 cents, and send it to your wife ! How does that grab you ?
What's her address, by the way ?

The cable was straight-through: no problems, I've allowed 30 days to change it, no questions asked. (In some places in Sweden e.g. IKEA, one gets 3 months !).

[tmx468]

TT... if the letter about electricity fails, try this one:

Try one taxing people per PC ;)

Wishing to save myself a few bucks pending further investments I thought I would by a smaller length and an adapter and simply extend my first cable as and when needed. So I bought another 5 m of the same sort of cable - cross-over - and an adapter.

How the helll was I to know that the first cable had already done the cross-over act, and so the extension bit had to be straight-through ! Grrrr !!! It's a hard life when you've got your nose up Mickwish's bottom. Very hard.

TT And just what makes ya' think ya' was the first to do something like that, TT?? :p Hm-m-m-m-m! :bunny:

That's how ya' learn! :rolleyes:

Now, let's rethink this . . . . . . . . . .

You have all the experts here to help, all ya' gotta do is ask! :D No matter what ya' think, some of us will give ya' the correct info ta' help ya' out. :D Then again, some of us will give ya' some bad advice just to see if ya' fall for it! :o

[mondobyte]

Why not buy a autoswtich ethernet switch like the skylink ... they can be had for about $30 american ... they work with straight throughs, crossovers ... full duplex, half duplex (maybe that should be halfwit in your case) There are no buttons or controls ... just plug and wit works! Now not all switches work like this ... some only have one port that can be switched from normal to uplink (uplink is for router to router or router to hub). As I said, just plug it in and wit works!

Just a suggestion ...

[Cowboybooter]

But is it clear where to plug in the cable? And which end ? I mean, it may sound easier than lugging machinery about during the hours of darkness, but...............

:D:D
