..........................CONGRATULATIONS parmesian ON REACHING 32,000,000 MOT POINTS !!!..........................

I think you might be on to something Rej. I've seen that on my machines too. It seems like the priority jobs manage to hit at a time where they finish after end of day which pushes the points for them and the regular jobs they delayed into the next day. I haven't noticed this when the priority jobs hit early in the day. Whatever the case, it was enough to get us a new points record today. Also, while we didn't set a new record for results or runtime, we did break the one year of crunching in a day mark today for the first time in a VERY long time.

EDIT: Just happened to notice the global stats for Thursday and Friday showed the same drop and spike we had. As I recall now, there was a notice about the validators on one sever being down for about seven hours at the end of Thursday. I didn't pay it much mind as I thought that it would just mean a small delay until the validators on one of the other severs got to the WUs. It would seem that WU's must be allocated to validators on specific servers and that delayed some WUs getting marked valid until early on Friday, thus the dip and bounce on these two days.

Good Morning Team
Congratulations Gerald, parmesian and Lawrencehardin

dkt... I am at a loss to understand your DIRECTTV thing. Mine works exactly as I outlined and I thought they were all basically the same. I suppose that there could be different sattelites that work differently. Hum..guess that is at least part of the difference of opinion on the two providers. Had no idea. I especially like that option of "Only HD" subset. My DirectTV does not have that either.

We will have another 108F day without rain and I will likely loose another few cedar trees. At least I don't have Irene bearing down on me...like Gerald and you keith?

Everyone have a great day.

About the only advantage of the exceptionally hard and rocky soil where I live is that we never get gophers (or ground squirrels or moles). Some things grow well in it; most things don't. Landscaping is a real challenge. Fence post holes are often dug with jackhammers. The contractors call it "nature's concrete".
