Tweak the 'load balancing' algorithm In order to reduce contention we randomly skipped jobs, but this caused many jobs to end up stopping early. Now instead we keep on going until we time out (also increased the chance of doing work). Patch by: Sverre Rabbelier

21. Specifying 'choices' for a field

Most fields take a ``choices`` parameter, which should be a tuple of tuples
specifying which are the valid values for that field.

For each field that has ``choices``, a model instance gets a
``get_fieldname_display()`` method, where ``fieldname`` is the name of the
field. This method returns the "human-readable" value of the field.
