There is a pretty cool website of interest to anyone doing the Folding@Home thing on their PS3 or any computer. Hosted by EXTREMEOverclocking.com, it takes a snapshot of the Folding@Home stats every few hours and runs some calculations. The results of those calculations show the gain of points and the change of rank over time. It also shows the average points earned in the past 24 hours, as well as how many points earned in the past week. If the user is a part of a group, then there are some fun stats you can check out. My favorite is the Conquests/Threats chart. This shows you the next five people in the group that the user will overtake if both that user and the targets maintain the same average gain. The other half of this is the next five people that will overtake that user, also if they maintain the same gain.

Here's a look at my stats: http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=219469

Currently, there is no one above me that I can overtake. This isn't a surprise, as I'm second in the list to the juggernaut that is PS3. Those are all users that didn't put in their own name when they started folding. The only threat that I have is D1rty_Dawg, who currently pulls in about 200 more points than me per day. Nothing to worry about right now, as he's not projected to overtake me within the next ten months.

Here's my stats sig image, along with the Gamespot @ Home stats.

You can get one by clicking on the Stats Sig Images link on the left-hand side of the site.

In the end, it doesn't really matter where you are, as long as you get the warm feeling inside that you might possibly be making a difference in the fight against cancer.

Hey man, I really enjoyed this blog. I see your name everyday at the very top & I always wondered if one day I'd bump into you on GameSpot. I also wish to point out that you are correct: PS3 is in fact users that did not chose a user name. It's a shame, really, because they can't keep track of their personal efforts on this wonderful program. But as you said: what matters most is that warm feeling. My Folding@Home name is J_Rivers. Look me up & hit me up sometime! Take care.
