For some time, I've been noticing that the deadlines on NF tasks doesn't match their arrival time. For example, I've just received 19/12/2013 10:14:54 | NumberFields@home | Scheduler request completed: got 1 new tasks which matches task 5508893: Sent 19 Dec 2013, 10:20:43 UTC The difference is almost 6 minutes - my computer clock seems to be accurate to within 10 seconds, after checking the BBC and a few internet time sources. Not an urgent issue, but next time the server needs maintenance, it might be worth hooking it up to an NTP time server. Edit - for confirmation, I clicked 'OK' on the above post at 10:32:30 local. |

Hi Richard, Thanks for pointing that out. I will look into fixing that on the server. |

An ntp server has been implemented and appears to be working. |
