Welcome Back Doc

It is and it isn't. I still woke up through the night, but I think I always will because it is due to pain .

It is really hard to tell what is going on from here. I have little advice but perhaps it has something to do with several different things.

1) Your computer power settings. I am assuming windows. Check Power settings in Control Panel. Make sure that you are set on "High Performance"\
2) Download the latest BOINC from the WCG website. During the install make sure you push the "Advanced" button and check the two options other than the screen saver option are checked. I never check the screen saver thingie because it just uses processor time.


See if either of those makes a difference.

Panic!!! I was getting ready to lay down in my new hospital bed for a nap. Since my power wheelchair was getting low on its charge I was hooking it up to the charger when a circuit breaker popped. I had already taken off my prosthetic leg and the six stump socks I wear with it. Of course, my cordless phones were out. Even my emergency 911 lanyard was out. On that circuit is my oxygen concentrator. Two of my PCs are on that circuit as well. The new bed on the same circuit. I guess it was the straw that broke the back and tripped the breaker. So, in the dark and without oxygen, I had to put on my stump socks and my leg. I then had to transfer from my bed to my motorized chair and then scoot to the other room to reset the breaker.

Hi RT. Yes I think it was a dangerous situation. My participation here in the World Community Grid has already caused power redistribution around here. Unfortunately you don't have much latitude here because building is so old. I do plan to bring in battery backup for critical things such as my telephone and oxygen concentrator. I am also going to bring a tank of oxygen into my bedroom in case something like this happens again.
