Yes although I've got some left over POGS and quite a lot of soon to expire WCG to use up so I won't be full on until a day or two in.

I'm being foiled by the BOINC scheduler again. Have machines sitting around doing nothing because they won't download any constellation WUs.
Not the scheduler after all. The trackjack app was not selected in the constellation preferences.

Have not been able to get on the forum for nearly 24hrs. Also BOINCstats/BAM has been down with 2 dead servers so haven't been able to change over from POGS. Should be switching now, but don't hold your breath ... doubt it will be fireworks. Now where have I heard that before ?
At least we have overtaken UBT 8)

I'm just finishing off my last few pogs units and then hopefully I should start into some constellation.

And we are up to 10th (of 16).
Mediocre but respectable.
Better than several alternatives!

Well the BOINC scheduler apparently took offense to being blamed for not getting WUs and so while my back was turned it downloaded over 500 WUs to each my two work horses. This happened in the first or second day of the challenge and I disabled new tasks as soon as I realized it, but I'm still stuck with with over 300 WU on each of those systems.
On the challenge chat there is a lot complaining about the high number of WUs in pending validation. Surely my 700 in progress WUs can't be the only ones causing the backup. Anyone else get flooded with WUs?

I wouldn't worry too much Scole, it's just one of the issues with the scheduler. Not much you can do about it.
This time I seemed to get roughly the right amount of work but next time who knows.
It's all for fun remember, unless we win - then its serious

Oh, and hurry up and finish those units. It'll sort out all my pending credit

Yeah, well after averaging no more than 4,000 a day during the challenge, today (after the challenge is over) I get 9,000.
