GOINC: For keeping tabs on BOINC.
google personalized home is a great tool to keep all your things in one place with. granted, i’ve been using my.yahoo.com for the longest time, but i needed something new to play with and i think this is it! this little module can be used to keep track of how your BOINC average and total credits are going compared to your friends, colleagues and competitors. i wrote it mainly because i wanted to keep track of how i was doing compared to dreeZ and fnirt and it’s easier to use the personalized home than to keep checking the website.
it supports the following projects, although i can be convinced to support additional ones if the “show_user.php” URL is provided to me:
- ClimatePrediction.net
- Einstein@Home
- LHC@Home
- Predictor@Home
- Rosetta@Home
- SETI@Home
it allows you to enter up to five user id’s corresponding to the project you’re interested in, and then shows the summary results of each user for the selected project. im hoping to add history tracking and graphs at some point in the future too! it’s an xml module that makes a call to a PHP page which in turn calls the relevant project’s xml feed to get live data on the user’s id that was entered. all of this is then packaged as a well-behaved html table, and rendered for the module. easy. and sometimes, sllloooowww.
the module is in google’s base at:
so just add the module to your google homepage using the url above, and you’re set! this is how it looks when you publish it on your page:
