Speedy as hell aint it ;) Well, the signature is a lot done now, and ready for some beta testing. It may not look much different than the Seti sig I did...but trust me...after 20 hours worth of coding, its hella different ;)
First off you notice is the speed! Even when Berkley is workign well, our current seti sig is slow. This is because it polls stats real time. The new signature only polls at 6 hour intervals! it then stores the stats data in the SQL database, which is hella faster. The new signature should also work even if Stanford goes down. It will display non-updated stats, but should still display.
The fun thing about the new signature is that it is skinnable! That is, you can change the look and feel to just about anything you want. Right now...it looks plain because I havent created any complicated skins yet, and I just wanted to get something that worked hehe. But now you can do things like...see my Cube.M3 signature down there? Well, I can make that in to a skin, and display realtime Seti or Folding stats on that image directly! Neat huh? Well it will save some room on the signatures, thats for sure.
Yeah, the new signature will allow for Seti to be integrated as well. Or any other DC project I see fit. (It can be used for other teams as well, but i think ill make them pay me for it ;). So you will beable to display seti and f@h stats at the same time on the same image. But, that parts not done yet.
The skinning engine itself is done, but theres no interface to it. I currently have to edit skins in SQL admin, but thats okay. I need to decide who will beable to create skins (its a little complicated). May be sponsered members only.

Change the xuser= part to whatever your F@H user name is. Ask me if you have Qs. If you wanna custom skin, let me know.
