if your WU only ran a short time, the beam hit the wall..

If it claimed less than 0.01 credits, you'll be able to remember it for a long, long, long time, as it will stay in a "pending" state in your results list!

I've got pages of these 0.00x "pending" WU's from the last year or so.... :(


There are a lot of good reasons to keep it from happening, so I'm not going to gripe about getting wall-crashers. My shop lost a Tektronix 7904A* High-speed Storage scope to a beam hitting a wall. It had been borrowed to use for magnet alignment work on the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility and was beside the beam-line when the beam wandered. They told us it would be 2 years before it had cooled down enough to use again. $24k down the tubes and no compensation for us because it was still functional...

Is there any way to clean out the 0 credit claims so they're not cluttering up the lists, or does that involve too much work to be worth the resources?

(* At least I think the model was a 7904A - it's been 20 years...)

I've been getting a lot of the short WUs also. But I think I'd rather have those than the 80 hour monster that uFluids sent me - I don't see how it can possibly finish before the report deadline...
