Nice that I have managed to get enough of the new tasks fairly quickly.

Good stuff! I should have a look at how much covid crunching is going on right now. Quite a lot I think!

Hi Penny

Very well done :-) :obscene-drinkingcheers: :happy-cheerleadersmileyguy: :happy-cheerleadersmileygirl: :happy-partydance:

Might be a while before the Gold badge comes into view...so, carry on as you are ;-)

WCG badges
If anyone else wants to earn WCG badges then here's the "how to" which I just found on the WCG website and this explains how to get a better badge:
Bronze - 14 days
Silver - 45 days
Gold - 90 days
Ruby - 180 days
Emerald - 1 year
Sapphire - 2 years
Diamond - recognizing higher levels of contribution of 5, 10, 20, 50 and up to 100 years of computing time
So, if one is concentrating on any WCG project, earning badges doesn't appear to be about earning "points", it's more about the number of days of "computing time" spent on each sub-project.

So that was slightly under 2 months to go from bronze to silver, and a smidge less to get gold. Perhaps there might be more of that type of task being made available? Whatever, it's giving me a warm glow!!!

As predicted by "Mystic Mark" ...

"Dear UBT - PennyQ,

Congratulations, you've earned a Ruby badge for your contribution to OpenPandemics - COVID-19
Nov 29, 2020 - You just earned a Ruby badge for the contribution you've made to OpenPandemics - COVID-19. Thanks for your participation, and we look forward to your continued support!"

Didn't know about it until the WCG monthly digest email arrived - the usual Notices bit on BM is blank at the moment.

Well done Penny...nice to see you "doing your bit" on WCG :-)

To get to Emerald, you have to be crunching for a whole year, so I hope to see you post again in around another 180 days time - sometime around the end of May 2021 :-)

In the meantime, I'm sure you can celebrate another good achievement, in a suitable fashion ;-)

If you like a nice beer, this is very nice (£1.09 per bottle at ALDI):
