Hi everyone, I did it! I finally got the Diamond 20 year badge for my contribution toward the Smash Childhood Cancer from World Community Grid. This came as a surprise since these days I’ve only been crunching tasks with my 24-thread server which is located in Puerto Rico. All of my other machines were disabled since Sunday due to Hurricane Irma passing over the State of Florida. They are all now activated once again since we just got power again….

Hi everyone, As I said yesterday, today I woke up with a new shiny badge, Ruby Badge from the Microbiome Immunity Project from World Community Grid. The Ruby badge is the following:  It is awarded after 180 days of contribution, of which as the time of this post my contribution is 203 days. The next badge is the emerald badge, awarded after 1 year of contribution. Remember that in the computing world, one CPU thread equals 1 day, so 8…
