@Windows7ge
Time to put all my hosts on WCG for the weekend before I shut them down
 

In!

I have gotten so many requests over the last three days for BOINC forum badges specifically which hasn't happened in a very long time. Really awesome to see! 🙂

Looking like we may get a boost 

Not going to be much use this year, banned from using stuff at work 😅
 
Added some stuff to the marathon (equiv) that should help a little.

Congrats to All!  LTT got 3rd place overall in this year's Pent!

The season is back on siuuuuuuu
 
 

Apparently I'm supposed to post when I hit this Rank.

 
Hard to believe just a little over 4 years ago ...

 
We've all come a long way.

Not going to lie to you guys, my mental health is in the toilet today, found out one of my friends is dying and it's really knocked me. Especially seeing as I have a funeral on the 21st already. 
 
Im seeing the doctor tomorrow for a mental health review anyway so hopefully they can help me in the short term. 
 
I'm hopeful I will be able to get it sorted before the end of the week, not going to give you an exact date but ASAP.

I have good news and bad news.
 
The good news is I have the codes...
 
 
The bad news is my pc crashed and it didn't save the blog so it will have to be rewritten tomorrow.
 
If all goes to plan the final ranks and awards will be posted tomorrow evening 

A beautiful submission! 

New daily

Right guys, So I'm going to delay the final blog post as I am still waiting for @jakkuh_t to give me the LTTStore codes, I will however get it written in the bg and when I have all the prizes I can get it posted asap 

Finally ranks are now all sorted and confirmed, prizes to be done with a rng and then blog after food. 
 
Here's a secret video of me cooking
