Was wondering if anyone knew of a way (other than repeatedly rejecting WUs until the right one shows up) to get a long WU assigned for a period when one would be disconnected from the Internet (say - a week), but would still have access to power & would like to keep crunching for most of it ?
Had long WUs (up to 5-6 days long) for the first few weeks after I joined, but seem to have nothing but 24 hr or shorter WUs for the past week or two. Will be out of town all next week with no way to even dial in. The laptop could do a fair bit of crunching, but would prefer not to have it run out of work in one day.... Merry Christmas to all(just finished my Santa duties, including cookie/milk consumption ) Patrick. |

Hey pmacaule,
----------------------------------------it is impossible to tell what time a WU will take in advance. So i think it's impossible to do what you ask. Bye the way, it isn't good to reject wu's that you don't like either [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Dec 25, 2004 2:54:11 PM] |
