Looks like it stopped updating again...

Looks like the update process froze again. Sometimes, the pident script that checks which pools have solved which blocks never finishes, and since I've implemented some locking, so two updates never run simultaneously, it gets jammed up. I should probably set up a watchdog at some point, or at least figure out why updatepools doesn't ever quit sometimes.

Anyway, the situation is fixed, and updates should be coming in the next few minutes as pident catches up with the block chain.

However, please note, once again, that there will be no updates for about 8-9 days starting in about 28 hours. I advise users to investigate other options like bithopper or cherrypicking for that duration. I thought about putting together some kind of limited update script, but collecting all the data from the pools might be more than I can churn out in the next 24 hours (especially since my time is limited).

At some point, I'm going to have to find a way to either modify pident or write a replacement that isn't so hard on disk I/O so I can put it on a VPS. Relying on my local machine is too hit or miss.
