How do you do that?

Hey Jim,
The signatures you see with images and backgrounds are generated by a different website.

Go to: http://boinc.mundayweb.com

Other than the links already posted, some people like myself host our own images so we can customize them as we like.

Do you have any links that will help me host my own image or even just help me figure out how to access the stats?

AthlonRob and I are working on a set of scripts which run on php to download the xml exports from projects, imports into mysql database, and then generates the image. AthlonRob has released an older version of the script GPL'd already but it's been completely re-written so I'd wait until we release the next package if you can.

We will also be releasing a script to grab just the XML data for a specific userid from Janus' site but we haven't got that far yet.

Another option is to use Petrus' script which pulls the data from the WAP feed on the newer projects. It's a single image per project script at the moment but if you know php, you should be able to modify it easily. Take a look at the thread at the Seti forums.

If you want to chat with AthlonRob and myself, we're usually on an IRC channel #boinc @ irc.freenode.net in the evenings (EST) and we can help you out there.

Thanks tiker! I do know a bit of PHP and so I'll check out your suggestions.
