Evening all
I guess it must just be a matter of luck. I have all tasks ticked but the majority of units come for those tasks I have already got gold. Can't say that I'm worried though. Pleasant day here, managed to wash the towels and get them dried outside on the line. Loved you Ladybird Book Den. There was recent correspondence in the Guardian where various people confessed how the series had been used by businesses and the forces as part of training in things like 'How a Computer Works' and how the Ministry of Defence tried to get permission for a printing with a plain cover but were refused. |

Morning all! Lovely sunny day here - showing up all the marks on the windows (most of which are outside, of course!)
No sign of our exalted Leader yet then?  Not that I expected it. Probably still trying to find his way home!  |

Good morning everyone
---------------------------------------- I too seem to get FAAH and HCC 98% of the time and never got the first ACH. I've seen some people who are loaded with the other projects. I think they sit there and hit the update buttton, see what downloads and then abort what they don't want. Which would explain why we all get the same thing all the time.  Y'all have a wonderful day

That just reminded me of a time with GRID when they had a bad batch of WU's that would start-abort-send-restart-abort-send...... Most members just went in and aborted the WU but i remember a few commenting how they let it run that way so they could get a lot of credit for WU's because eventhough it was self aborting it was still showing in the statistics as completed work.
----------------------------------------As mush as I would like to get my rating up in that department, I can't stand to sit here and watch while my 'puter does nothing. It enfuriates me even when the power or the internet is off, because I'm losing crunch time. Part of the reason why 17 of my machines are now elsewhere...different power source and ISP. Funny how I'm stuck in the middle of our team geographically. Everyone else is always offline when I'm on Y'all have a great day
