Woo, just got my bronze medal for run-time on this project! I know I crunch them slower than most, but I do what I can.....so little things like this make me happy :)

Well done Kieron,

It's always nice to see when a member achieves a target and the project gives out an award.

Keep on going and I'm sure it won't be long before you can add to the set :)

regards
Tim

Excellent stuff Kieron - very well done.

I think WCG is one of the "forgotten" projects in many ways - I did a spot of crunching for them a while back but then other projects seemed to get my attention.

Plus, the ubtstats website section, showing WCG credits, is broken and isn't keeping track of members contributions. :(

WCG is one of the (only 5) BOINC projects that my ancient Dell PC runs. I'm not a "credit whore"! I got my gold Mapping Cancer Markers badge a while back (boast boast)
