 |

Hi sorry to bother on a sunday , but I have been running Milkyway task for 20 hours so far, somebody (child origin I believe) turned my pc off last night. The report deadline is 11.30 today but I have 30 mins more work to do than the deadline. It is running in high priority and I have suspended everything else, is there anything I can do to help it speed up and meet the deadline rather than being lost work?

There are several steps you should take:
1) Go to the shop and get the Sunday papers
2) Make bacon & eggs and a big mug of tea
3) Lollop around eating breakfast and browsing through the papers
4) Have a snooze - you've had a hard week.

...nothing to worry about, I've had WU's stuck on rigs for 2-3 weeks  due to hardware issues, and the project has always credited them...

thats one of the few things I miss about the UK -
- having a quiet afternoon at my local 'sampling' some real ale
- like the Flintnappers Mild at my Norwich local (brewed on site) http://www.thecoachthorperoad.co.uk/
