Not wanting to miss out on the workunits coming from boincsimap, I followed the advice of other crunchers and stayed attached last month and set my cache setting to 9 days. Then, since climateprediction was giving me messages about wanting to get work but not enough time to do the work, I set it to no new work and suspended it. This seemed to eliminate those messages and thinking that a little bit was good, why not go for the whole 9 yards, I set my other projects to suspend work and no more work.
A little while later I was rewarded by boincsimap with 4 pages or about 160 workunits.
Now, I will have to keep it going full blast for a week to barely complete those workunits and I have no idea how to complete the existing workunits in Docking and Seti that I had already downloaded. Not to mention I will have to stand by the computer 24/7 to keep my kids from logging me out to watch old episodes of Lost, etc. for the next week.
Why doesn't Boinc Manager protect me from being so stupid?
