Distributed Bit-Tech Folding@Home Team (CLOSED: now superseded by joint CPC/bit-tech team)

I'm starting to lose faith in FAH. It's a good cause but I'm pi**ed off with all the fan noise

 

how big is an average wu?

 

Gave it a quick try but I cant be bothered with spending 2-3 hours on a sig, meh.

 

took me no more than about 20 minutes to knock this sig up, it's not the prettiest but does the job.

 

Don't know that theres any such thing as a 'average' WU, they range from little 30 credit ones that'll complete in a few hours to monster 600 credit WUs that can take several days to complete. Mainly depends on the speed of the pc you're running it on though

 

Aplogies beforehand, but just testing to see if sig is working now.
...
bleh - can't get the thing to work. It's looking like it should work, as the sig.log file is showing it's created the sig, runnin mksig.pl does its thing with no errors (which is better than I was getting before), but it no worky. I followed the instructions, including changing the forums name.

Ah, hang on a moment... just going to try something out, just got to find some thread I can reply to now Sig won't update with just an edit to a post.

I give up.

 

if theyve already done the wu, why do we have to do it again?

 

To make sure the calculations are correct, and so they can see if there are any inconsistancys in the folded protiens, Im just pulling this out of my A$$ here but its somewhere along those lines... Plus some other stuff aswell.

 

straight from the Folding@Home FAQ:

 

@ kenco: its possible that your sig is too long. If it is more than 500 characters (including all the vB code) then the mksig.pl will run just fine but the forum won't accept it. When I was doing mine, it had to shorten it several times before it would work. In fact, although the forum rules state the limit as 500 characters, I found that it would accept about 600, maybe it doesn't count spaces

EDIT: seems like 500 characters exactly including everything now that I've experimented with it for a bit

 

We've just moved into 300th place! Good going guys

 

I don't think it counts VBcode.

 

I'm not sure about that, because I used this sig_gen.pl as a basis for my sig. First time I tried, it had a colour gradient on the WU name with loads of color tags and it didn't work because it was too long but when I removed the colour gradient, it worked no problem. Will need to experiment some more to know for sure.

 

I think I've finally got this sig to work s I'm just checking. Fingers crossed

/edit

Apparently not

 

Sorry for the double post but I think I've actually got it working in some shape or form.

/edit. Nope not got it yet. Can someone post their sig_gen files so i can have a look at their code and try and get mine to work.

 

This is how my sig_gen.pl file looks:

if (!$r7d > 0) {
$r7d = '-'.$r7d.' in 7 days';
}
else {
$r7d = '+'.$r7d.' in 7 days';
}

But remember to change the {} for [] at the print lines and the EOCID

 

Cheers. Lets see if it works

 

Alextwo, could I sleal yours(changing the names of coarse), I am rather busy and cant afford the time to make myself one.

 

Congratulations all, we are now top 300!!

Thanks dude, I'll give it another go sometime soon, might pilfer alextwo's code, if that's okay?
