I just had a look at my account and discovered that the project claims I have this one and this one running on this machine.

Errm, I do not.

Those are called ghost tasks and now that you have some Enric will want some too. The server tried to sent them to you and thought it was successful in sending them but in fact your host didn't receive them. It happens once in a while and it doesn't have major bad side effects. The tasks will eventually time out and get resent.

I have a fuzzy memory of some projects experimenting with code to have the server re-sync tasks but I'm not sure if that was every adopted into the mainstream. If Asteroids has that code installed then you might find the server resends those tasks to you next time your host updates.
