Because of that, it is giving that WU extra time, and running it even if it isn't strictly "next." ID: 634868 ·

There is a certain piece of un-named software that I wrote years ago that controls a burn-in chamber. This machine does nothing but trigger a selftest every 12 hours on 24 units under test that are sitting in an environmental chamber. When I wrote this, I thought that sitting in a room watching a 20'x20' box to make sure it didn't burst into flames would be the world's dullest job. So every New Years eve and Forth Of July at midnight, it would clear the screen and do a one minute fireworks display. To this day I don't know if anyone has ever been looking at the screen then. PS- This was done in 1981, about 300 lines of TMS9900 assembly code to make the fireworks display work. Boinc Button Abuser In Training >My Shrubbers< ID: 641090 ·

The error was mine for requesting seti to fetch a weeks worth of work at a time for seti and cosmos. Result: THE MESSAGE!!! lol Love to see the fireworks show. Can you video it and post it on YouTube? Could be all of ours little private joke. ;) "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss ID: 641417 ·
