So glad to see I'm not the only one around here...
@Bryan: I'm not sure my expletive vocabulary is large enough to cover the amount of cursing that would have been required in that last situation...

WARNING TO EVERYONE!!!
WUProp hours don't count when you have the task suspended for several days! *punches self in face*
My daughter hit me up with this one last night.
She plugged her Tablet into her power strip to charge. Got kinda pissed that it wouldn't charge enough to turn back on right away. After about 15 minutes of waiting, she finally remembered she had unplugged the power strip from the wall 30 minutes earlier.
At least she was laughing at herself as she told me about it.
Antminer wasn't overclocking. EmSti found the problem. No closing "greater than" sign at the end of </app_version. DAMNCode:<app_config> <app> <name>A-cgminer-4.4.0</name> </app> <app_version> <app_name>A-cgminer-4.4.0</app_name> <plan_class>asic</plan_class> <cmdline>--anu-freq 225</cmdline> </app_version </app_config>
I don't know how that happened at 2 am. I wasted several posts over in Bitcoin Utopia proving my stupidity for posterity!
Here's a fun one:
Install a 32-bit OS on a machine with 16Gb of RAM.
Courtesy of the office "IT guy" who reinstalled the OS after the HDD crashed. Left with 2.21Gb of usable RAM. And to think I was wondering why the computer got REALLY slow whenever I'd open Chrome or FF...
Here's my latest amazing trick:
Step 1. Complain about how you're not getting the WUProp credits you think you should be.
Step 2. Complain about how you're not getting the WUProp hours you think you should be.
Step 3. Do nothing about this for a couple days.
Step 4. Notice, somewhat randomly, that WUProp has been set to NNT, for some stupid reason.
Step 5. Fix that.
Step 6. Repeat.
[Yes, this is twice now I've done this...]
Wife was not able to access any webpages on the laptop and was undergoing Facebook and Netflix withdrawals. She vented to me during my lunch break yesterday and after taking a quick look I spent over three hours after getting off work checking ip addresses and connection issues. Finally the thought occurred to me that the main complaint from the websites where cookie related and not internet connection related...3.1 hours later after starting this little diagnostics session I finally corrected the system time and checked to make sure it was pulling time updates from the correct server.
Wife is happy, now I'm happy. Amazing how that works...
