That Ruby star looks good, your next star (a Bronze) is only 3 applications away. Conan ID: 7138 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Must have been a few weeks ago, but a new "little" milestone for me. ;-) Life is Science, and Science rules.

DIdn't even realise they weren't working, but that'll also explain why my signature was funny! All fixed now, and I'll know for when I need to post a new badge update ;) Chris ID: 7140 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

However 'mini' it may feel, that's 200,000 hours of computing (just shy of 23 years) of computing for each app - approx. 7 months of CPU time per one!

But it is still progress and changing the colour on any star is a goal and takes effort. I would say your guess is just delayed. Conan ID: 7154 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
