The 'predictor of the day' seems to have stopped since Feb 13th - will this be restarted at some point? I think it's a useful incentive to some crunchers (myself included...)

Hi Proxima,

With the help of David Kim, I've just finished reworking the Predictor of the Day so that the reporting will be automatic and no longer require intervention from the scientists in our lab. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, and feel free to e-mail me with any questions or comments you have about it.

Cheers,

James

Thanks for getting POTD going again.

There's an error in the POTD RSS feed, caused by the '&' in the current POTD's team name.

Yes, thanks for getting it going again. I guess I'm not the only geek who checks fairly often to see if I'm the POTD or not...

Thanks for the heads-up. I just fixed the offending invalid XML, and the W3 validator appears to be happy.

Cool, thanks. I only spotted it because RALPH's RSS feed is badly broken (I posted about it in RALPH's Feedback forum) and I was checking to see if Rosetta's RSS feeds had the same problem.

Think there may be a slight glitch in the scripts - the user Charles has predicted the lowest energy structure for the same workunit 3 days in a row now.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. The bug in picking a predictor of the day is now fixed, and there are now new predictors for March 10th and 11th. Feel free to e-mail me directly with any more predictor of the day related issues, my e-mail address is tex - at - u.washington.edu.

Cheers,

James

Our talented sysadmin Keith Laidig has won Predictor of the Day twice in a row as of today. Starting today, I'm going to disallow members of team Baker Lab from winning Predictor of the Day. Especially Keith might have a bit of an unfair advantage. :)

Cheers,

James
