The PB arm wrestle continues, but too did a bout with the boys in Seattle. Had acquired full O2013 for a give-away price and installed it on my main user machine in W7-64. Decided that it crunched hugely better on Linux-64 and went to revive my old W7-32, only on for few hours a day, to install the Office pack, to discover the said MS boys had hardware locked the O13 pack... no way to move, hence, a few weeks of charts generated with O2007, substantially missing graphics features which only one mentioned [such as the missing sparkline graphs on the dashboard]. Today, decided to try again and rather than walking into the pay-wall of the main boy, Bill, called the computer in Milano. Patiently working through the "how slow can we talk to stretch-up the toll fees", and entered the 9 groups of 6 digits showing on screen into the phone and then the motormouth started, racing off a new 9 group set of 6 digits, so used the repeat group twice on each step, and here we are after more tactics to increase toll fees... probably a few Euros cheated on the phone bill and New Office running on the old device and sparklines back to show the trends. Frippin' scare tactics to get people to pay again through the nose, the license did proof transferable. Just wonder what happens if I boot the main work machine back into W7 and would start up O13... would it invalidate both the installs [it's hooked up to the cloud, so it's connecting to MS!].

Sorry for interruption of best available... charts look again as new. :D

edit: toll twice, not tool :D

Buddy of mine in the Climate/Weather analysis & charting department [see sparsely visited site in my sig, albeit had a recent email requesting approval for use in a big UK presentation to decision makers and influencers] showed a new style sea ice analysis [scares the BJ for the extended implication], with the comment that it was trivial to highlight table boxes, and sure enough, trivial it was when applied to the Research Runtime Years by Month. My automated highlighter was low on ink, so only the rims are indicating if there was a month with a contribution record on a science in the past 12. With 'all' the projects finishing, this month at least 4 records , CEP2 having had an additional boost from a 5 way project challenge. Science the winners.

Crunch On

P.S. Elsewhere it was asked if I were to remove the completed projects from WCGALL ... No, but WCGPI1 will be, depending on me mood to allocate non-billable hours, probably when the next new science starts, one I think that wont have a Phase I suffixed to it

Rob, I notice the Average Run Time for WUs has not updated since March......any chance of giving it a kick-start please?

Yup Rob, cleared my cache and got the May 31st version also....thanks.

No idea if WCG had a validation catch up this morning, but if this is going to hold, we're could be surpassing 2.5 million results for the day and knock all charts off the scales... Sorry but the runtime bars are getting very compressed, so a select few will get log based Y-Axis' on some such as the SN2S/FAAH/ALL charts.
