I am curious, has anyone

I am curious, has anyone selected as a winner of a TLPTPW thread ever refused to pick up the torch and run with it or would that be a major violation of project etiquette.

Yes it's happened before, even here I think, because the  winner was too busy with something else and asked someone else to run it for them. MOST people do take the win and run the next game though.

Wow.  For what it is

Wow.  For what it is worth!!!  All of my computers on my extenders refused to upload completed work even though the extenders all had green lights.  The error messages in BOINC for E&H were "...Project back off...".  I checked the E&H servers status page and all was well.  The extenders use both wifi and wired connected computers.  I reset (powered on and off the extenders) and all work uploaded.  Apparently the extenders did not/could not reconnect with the Uverse gateway after the major Uverse failure of a couple days ago.

Turn the wifi off if you can and just use wired net thatway it wil lcome back on when the router comes back on, I have a mac laptop and an Ipad that both have to be reconnected manually after the router goess down.

Sure enough, same here.  It seems only to be a problem with my older, crunching, macbooks on an extended wifi network. I have then set up in another room from my GPU Linux crunchers, and they have a tendency to be ignored. (Okay, it's not their fault - I have a tendency to ignore them.) One was disconnected for about a week before I noticed that it's productivity had fallen off. I'm such a bad host parent. (One tick for the social theory column.)

Started on the 5th with a deliberately chosen cutoff of the 8th???  I wonder why robl was in such a big hurry ;-) :-).

I hope this doesn't become a trend??  I don't want to spend all my life locking and stickying new threads :-) :-).

Cheers,
Gary.
