Good idea! It would be really neat to automate this somehow, but gathering the data might be a little tricky.

Working off of that page, I quickly threw together a bash script that runs once every hour, picks the info from the page and outputs it to a textfile here: http://deadnet.se/wcg.txt

The script piece to get the values out of the page is as follows

curl --silent https://wuprop.boinc-af.org/active_projects.py | grep -A40 "World Community Grid" | sed 's/<[^>]\+>//g' | sed '/WUP/Q'

Mostly me being a bit bored while home sick, but maybe it'll be useful for someone. :)


EDIT: Changed the script to allow for more WCG projects, and filter the next entry when there are less projects, not to mess up the output.

Thank you for the link and the script. The more info we have the less questions we have of "is it me? or is it the server?"
I love how this community can figure out so much and help each other.

I hope you feel better soon, Headcrash.

It's good to see these initiatives.

There's also something I flung together a month or so ago and it depends heavily on tasks received by my own devices, and I don't know for how long workunit-IDs are consistent in the current way:
my latest ARP1 workunit
my latest MCM1 workunit
my latest SCC1 workunit
The only thing is, they are updated hourly, so the question is, does it belong in this thread?

Description:
Per science, be it currently ARP1, MCM1 or SCC1, the program locates my latest received task, records and displays the workunit plus its ID, then goes back in time precisely 1,000 workunit-IDs and fetches and displays the data belonging to that workunit-ID, and repeats this (for a total of ten times).
In this way you might be able to maybe see how long it takes for the server to release 10,000 workunits.

The consequence of this behaviour is that when a resend is received at the 'right' moment, or (especially in the case of ARP1 momentarily) when an older task hasn't been validated yet (and more recent ones have disappeared from the board), you get to see more way back in the past, if anything can be found there by chance.
Also, when I'm adjusting my queues and concentrate on certain sciences, the result could be distorted, e.g. when my queues don't accept or get new tasks for a while, so I don't know if it's sensible to post this. You can't rely 100% on it, is what I'm trying to say.
