The font used with imagestring doesn't include them - but if I use the ttf verdana I should be in the clear ;) It would need some re-coding, but I'll need to do that anyway to take varied string widths into account which I wanted to do anyway ;) In the meantime, while lots of you hopefully help out with the translation, I'll add the hex color change ability - would propably be available in an hour or so.

44) Message boards : Number crunching : Schedulers online status for websites (Message 11383) Posted 24 Mar 2005 by old_user2275 Post: I was actually thinking of releasing the source. My concern though is the polling for online status and keep congestion at the projects down. I might make it so web site poll my database in stead of the projects - that would keep the congestion at the projects to a minimum - and spread the traffic. But that's a bit further down as I still have some ideas for this I want to look into first and are still in a learning fase. As to the internationalization, I was thinking about first of all to add a page at the URL generator that offers users to contribute with translations for the three states. The string mentioned by microtoxic is the way I would implement it. The dataset-thing is a bit above my skill at the moment, but I'm working hard to learn ;)

In Danish there's the problem with the translation from Unreachable -> UtilgÃ¦ngelig - the letter "Ã¦" becomes some other char. But I would love for it to be "multilinguable" :) I'll think of something :)

Next two things on the todo-list is direct hex color choices and transparency color. But for now take a look at the <a href="http://www.esea.dk/esea/bos.asp">URL generator</a> - I've tested it during development, but there might be a slip up somewhere.

I think many admins would invite option to choose > colors in hex format so they correspondent with other visual elements of > forum; not that the name list is short :-) Well, I chose this way first as it was the easier one to implement quickly ;) I'm still new to PHP, so there are things I need to learn. I was actually thinking of making it possible to choose rgb colors in dec first, but I want to see if there's a smart way to do that. When I got that, I'll see if I can make some dec2hex conversion as well (there are propably code out there I can grab ;)) But right now I'll see to it that the text colors can be changed as weel - that has higher priority for the moment - as well as a URL generator (another idea I grabbed from Petrus) ;)

57) Message boards : Number crunching : Schedulers online status for websites (Message 11297) Posted 23 Mar 2005 by old_user2275 Post: I thought there would be some website owners out there who wanted to be able to display online status of the boinc projects schedulers. So I created this little script that does exactly that. It looks like this: <img src="http://83.72.130.163/esea/boincschedulers.php"> Now, Boinc Online Schedulers (BOS) version 0.3 is pretty much still an alpha version, but it looks to work pretty good. All that's needed is to make an image tag on the page you want to display it at, like this: <img src="http://83.72.130.163/esea/boincschedulers.php"> It's updated every 5 minutes. Future plans for it includes: - choice of projects to display - choice of colors to use

As simply as that; no > horse-trading. I wasn't too clear here ;) What cpdn doesn't do, like the others, is to send out the same wu to several participants, wait for the participants to return the results, compare them, and then grant credit by evaluating claimed credit - that is granting the lowest value, the middel value or whatever scheme is chosen. Any comparison that may be done between wu's does not in any way affect the credit system - and I view it from the credit systems point of view in this thread ;)

Have you checked out how much credit your hosts claim at the other projects? It may be higher than what is granted. One of the main differences from cpdn to the other projects is that cpdn is currently the only one that doesn't send the same wu to more participants and compare their results. This means if your host claims an amount of credit for cpdn work, that amount is what is granted - which is not the case per definition at the other projects. As far as I can tell from Andrews link, it would seems that on cpdn there is not even such a thing as claimed credit. Well, in either case, cpdn is not very comparable with the others as it is very different in how it works.
