"I personally think that every BOINC project has some measure of merit and or potential in it's particular field"

I totally agree with you on that.

Chrulle:

"A WU is bound to what in BOINC terms is called an APP, whereas a new version is only a new APP_VERSION"

Now I'm confused. I've had wu's for different versions of app's on other projects on my computer at the same time. I thought this was the way boinc was supposed to automatically upgrade the science apps - where did I go wrong there?

Ahh, so that's why :D I did see a mention of resetting but I thought the new version would eventually be downloaded automatically - I would just have to be patient.

That's correct - a thing I always forget when joining another project - until I notice a missing "(left in memory)" at the messages tab. It was a recommended setting for cpdn - apparently a recommended setting for other projects as well, so in my view default should actually be "yes" rather than "no"

Version 0.99:

Just a small update before the 1.0 release. Added the possibility to add a timestamp to the image. The timestamp displays the time and date of the last BOS update.

I know the development of BOS has been a bit slow lately, but I'm working on other projects also and BOS seems to run pretty stable. Besides, I've been thinking about the scheme for mirroring which looks to become pretty ambitious :)

Well, I just thought it might be nice to have this timestamp, although it looks pretty odd in this version (my opinion). Ok, I still call it alpha ;)

Well, actualy that is not quite the whole story. As you are crunching for this project right now, you donate cpu time for science AND a beta test of this project ;) So, we're actually here to help making this project ready to go

Version 0.97
Made some multi language changes:

- Changed the font from build in font to true type Arial. This eliminates alot of character problems
- The image now has dynamic width. It changes if states in a variety of languages are longer then the standard width.
- Added four languages. I will wait adding chinese and russian untill I have conquered a charset problem. I will look into this saturday when the server is offline anyway

Naturally the URL generator is changed accordingly.

Fixed the backend as SETI@home changed the reporting so it looked like the scheduler was Unreachable when it wasn't.

Added an RSS news feed. It's available here: http://www.esea.dk/esea/bos_devserv_news.asp

Version 0.93:

Added background transparency. As the image is .png this might not work in all -internet Explorer versions.

Fixed a bug that made the image display the uptime percentage of Pirates@home as the uptime percentage for BURP in some cases.

Added links page to URL generator site.

Added background image to URL generator so that you can see how transparency works.

<p>Version 0.85</p>
<p>Added the ability to have uptime percentages appended directly to the online
status, so now you can choose between nice coloumns, only a space between status
and percentage, and only percentage.</p>
<p>Added simulated images to the URL generator, so now you can see the colors
of all states, and don't have to wait until a projects goes down or gets unreachable.
There's even a simulated image for the odd occurance that none of the projects
are online ;)</p>
<p>Color names for standard colors have been added to the URL generator. One of
them is not found on O'Reilly's list though. The bosgolden color is one I created
for this image. The other standard text colors weren't on O'Reilly's list either,
so I changed them accordingly for best match.</p>
<p>Added the ability to change the tagline color. This way you can choose a color
for it that doesn't clash with the background color.</p>
<p>Change the URLs generated by the URL generator and added them to the image
script. The URLs will now get shorter. The old URLs you may already use will
still work.</p>
<p>Fixed a stupid bug that made the online status for climateprediction disappear
when not online, and especially if it's down. I didn't know the bug was there
until I saw the simulated images, so they've been a great help for me too ;)</p>
<p>I wanted to do alot more from the Coming up list, but I have to get up early
in the morning.</p>
<p>Well, go to the URL
generator site
for the latest updates ;)</p>

Version 0.8

I've begun the multi language capabilities, but it's on an experimental stage still. The languages that have been gracefully contributed has been added, but some characters are not shown proberly as well as long string currently do not make the image wider (that'll come).

But, something that really works is uptime percentages. Yup, I've added the ability to display uptime percentage in addition to scheduler online status, and if you want, you can choose ONLY to display the uptime percentages.

In addition I've added some pages to the URL generator site - so take a look, and try it out ;)

<p>Version 0.7</p>
<p>Added the ability to change colors with hexadecimal numbers.</p>
<p>Parameters:

backhex: changes the background

projhex: changes the project names color

onlinehex: changes the Online text colot

downhex: changes the Down text color

unreachhex: changes the Unreachable text color</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<p><img src=&quot;http://www.esea.dk/esea/boincschedulers.php?backhex=aaddff&projhex=aa3311&onlinehex=dd00aa
&unreachhex=2200aa&downhex=aa66aa&quot;>
looks like: </p>
<p> </p>
<p>NOTE: do not use the number char (#)</p>
<p>This has been added to the URL

Now it's gotten even easier ;)

The URL generator is ready. Next two things on the todo-list is direct hex color choices and transparency color.

But for now take a look at the URL generator - I've tested it during development, but there might be a slip up somewhere.

<p>Version 0.6</p>
<p>Textcolor is now changable.</p>
<p>Parameters:</p>
<p>projectcolor: changes the color of the projects names

onlinecolor: changes the color of the &quot;Online&quot; text

downcolor: changes the color of the &quot;Down&quot; text

unreachcolor: changes the color of the &quot;Unreachable&quot; text</p>
<p>Still the colors are the names from O'Reilly's list.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<p><img src=&quot;http://83.72.130.163/esea/boincschedulers.php?projectcolor=darkslateblue&backcolor=cornsilk
&onlinecolor=skyblue&unreachcolor=indigo&downcolor=gray&quot;>
looks like</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And btw, if you misspell a color name, the script will revert to the standard
color.</p>
<p>Also fixed the height when using the yes value on project parameters.</p>
<p>Next I'll create an URL creator as the URLs can now potentially get tricky
- after that I'll look into direct RGB color changes (dec and hex)</p>

<p>Version 0.5</p>
<p>You now have two choices of how to choose which projects to display:</p>
<p>1) if you use the no setting on the parameters, you choose not to display those
projects, but any new projects added to the script will automatically be displayed
as well as the current ones you left displayable

2) if you use a yes setting on the parameters, you isplay only those projects
selected - any new projects added to the script will remain hidden</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<p><img src=&quot;http://www.esea.dk/esea/boincschedulers.php&quot;> will
still display all projects supported - like this:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Please let me know if a color doesn't work - I'll propably make some typo's
here and there.</p>
<p>Next the textcolors will be changable - same color names ;)</p>

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:



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
