Boinc 4.13 on P4 3.0 HT running SuSE Linux 9.0, tens of gig of free boinc space. This machine does nothing except boincCPDN, occasional updates, and this message.

A new (for me) boinc experience. Up at 0330 this morning to baby-sit Dbox's second upload in as many days, my bleary eyes observed:

One wonders why there was no Work-Unit waiting in the wings. ("Connect to Network..." set to "7 Days".) That was my 48th boinc completed run, all on HT machines, and it is the first such experience; heretofore, there was waiting work.

The good news is that, while covering its embarrassment over failure to have work waiting, boinc was too busy to interfere with one on the runs ~70 TS into start of the second of a pair after upload, as it is too-often wont to do. (Couldn't avoid a bit of gratuitous anthropomorphism; the devil made me do it.)


Only 11 shopping months 'til Xmas...! (The devil again... .)
