Perhaps the load-up on the 13th was this and they waited til the 14th in every part of the world ... No the the servers were issuing work from around 1700 UTC on 14th which was 4am on 14th even in the thirteenth time zone .... unless maybe to be prudent thay allowed a four hour safety margin?

This is the real superstition: The natural reluctance of programmers to say in advance when a new set of work will be available in case it isn't. R~~ ID: 12028 · Reply Quote
