In addition to the above questions, I have one more. Having just filled out an application for a fan table, one of the questions was "Please give us a short description of your table we can put in our con book." to which I put in "Distributed computing team with a focus on protein folding research" Is the description expected to be more detailed? Or is such a short description expected?

Well, it is me and my moms first time to go to babscon. Right now I don't know if anyone in the Brony@Home group is going besides me at the moment. Is there a possibility I could split a fan table with somebody else? How big are these "fan tables"? Can I set up a video to be played on a laptop? I have considered manning a table to hand out such posters at a different convention, and I think such a thing would be fun (here at babscon), but I kind of need more information before committing to such a thing right now.

Hey, we at Brony@Home are considering printing off 1,000+ copies of a poster to be handed out for free to promote folding@home and the group. I'm posting about this because we are not quite sure how to best distribute such a thing, assuming the convention wants to deal with us. I don't think there will be enough members to do a full panel though. The poster in question will be 17"x11" in size, and the image will be exactly this http://tiwake.deviantart.com/art/Brony-Home-Protein-Folding-Poster-483004692 One of the fun things we do as a group is every once in a while we have a competition with awesome prizes including but not limited to video cards and steam games. Cheers

I suppose I could make a cron job script that pulls the image and drops it on my server every three hours, but that seems kinda silly for just a normal PNG image thats already hosted on another website. Caching would probably screw with things too. Maybe I'll set up a wget script later tonight and see how that goes.

The image is already a PNG image. Converting and making it static will defeat the purpose of having such an image to begin with. Every 3 hours the image contains new information, and is generated on the fly. The information it is updated with comes from this website http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=212997

Requirements for a signature image: 600x100 or smaller. I could not find anything about the type of image (PNG, JPG, TIFF, etc.) that would or would not work. http://www.bronyathome.org/sigimage.php?u=605723&t=212997&b=twilight3 basically is the signature I want to have, but it says "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community." This is interesting, so I try one of these blank ones http://www.bronyathome.org/images/sigimages/luna1.png (for example) and it works fine. It seems the forums don't like images that are dynamically created? I'm only posting about this because I don't see anything that says I should not be able to have such a signature image. Cheers
