    Cripes! 51 weeks since I posted my last result here.
    Lots of ranks, milestones and badges begging.

    This pharm has changed crop.
    Maestro, if you will?
    I believe that it is time to tango.

    WCG Christmas Race 2010

    All good since this morning.
    Building up plenty of pending credit.
    Anyone else on the band wagon? (other than the WCG regulars, of course)
    Got any goals in mind?
    Do you know there are several sub/side projects on the go at once?
    So you can specialise in a single project and set a short-term goal.

    Check out the "Current Challenges" panel on the lower half of you MyTeam page:
    http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ms/team/viewMyTeam.do
    You need to log-in and if you are not a member of a team, now is a great time to join AMD Users

    for example; we are in rank #12 in the points challenge in the "To Eliminate AIDS - Dec. 2010" contest:
    http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/te...allengeId=3714

    If you have any questions, we have some very knowledgeable regulars on hand here that will gladly help and the WCG forums are full of info.

    There are lots of badges and many years of crunching to get all the current badges. It seems at the current time the top scoring sub projects there are CEP2, HCMD2, and C4CW. By default CEP2 will only run one work unit at a time because of the large work unit requirements. I would like to see them add a GPU project to the list and see some of this work get completed. Best of luck getting to the number one spot on our team.

    Jason, that's one heck of a set of badges. =O

    I started this month with 1 silver and 2 bronze. (what a slacker)

    Now I have 1 Gold, 2 silver and 4 bronze and another 100K BOINC milestone.

    I'm hoping to transmogrify one of of those bronzes into a silver tonight before my holiday shutdown.
    I'll get some more in the new year.

    Great numbers everyone! And all for great causes.

    AMDave thanks for noticing our collection. Everyone has to start somewhere and where your at it is more fun at your stage in the game earning all the badges you can. I do suggest you check your settings and make sure you have enabled the beta project if you would like that badge as well. It is a very hard project to get work units for. The badges add a bit more fun to the project and it seems to be a race to get the latest one every time a new project is introduced. There was a chart with estimated completion of projects that can be helpful in planning the badge quest. I do wish you luck on the quest for badges and helping with these great causes.
