Double up on the clients Tuesday night in case you are to finish a WU during this time so your comp's are not idling. This is not recommended practice for single CPU machines but damn it drives me nuts to have my rigs doing absolutely nothing. Just make sure not to do this needlessly if your WU's are not set to complete during this time frame.

Just a tip for you all but in case you're not aware, there is a "-pause" switch recognized by the client. As well as having to specify the 2nd client run on "Machine ID #2" in the advanced options, add the -pause switch into your folding launch shortcut. This will complete and send that current WU and not attempt to d'load another.
The power to our server room will be temporarily shutdown this coming Wednesday. We plan to keep FAH up as much as possible (assuming the generator is working), but we will likely take this time to do some server maintenance. It is scheduled to last 3-4 hours.

This could be a non-interuption or it could be a real mess.
better to be prepared.
I hope the changeover finishes quickly!
