Thanks for the interest in our miniteam website.
🙂 First of all, I myself did not create it but one of my friends who is an great programmer did. We ran as a miniteam for quite a while and all thought it would be cool if we could get some individual statistics. Thats where the idea for
http://aliens.blueorbb.com came from. I'll try to explain how the whole site works below.
Although some of us do use setiqueue, we do not get our stats from the queues. There is an installer that we use called setipazoo.exe which is the heart of the operation. The installer installs seti onto the given machine under our team name along with another file. The other file, lets call it Zoo for now, is a program which reads the current work unit data along with some other information (Computer name, CPU type/speed, OS, etc...) and sends it at given intervals to our webserver into a database file.
That basically describes the first step of the process. From there on out its all just parsing the database file to derive statistics. We have entries for each user and which computers belong to those users. Each and every WU completed using Zoo is recorded into the database file. We then have a lot of data that we can use to get the stats you see on our website. I'm not entirely sure how each and every one of the statistics we have is generated but thats the general idea.
I know this probably isn't much use but I hope it gives you an idea of how our miniteam site works. :frown:
If anyone has anymore questions shoot them my way and I'll try my best to answer them.
