As simple as this rhyme :-)

There is a reason, a simple one
That keeps me harping on and on
Just like a Christmas morning kid
About the fabulous World Community Grid
Time, as always, is of the essence
And the relevance here makes rare sense
Between work and all those other things
We must see to before midnight rings
Often we wish we could, and think we should
Find more time to do distinguishable good
By this I mean the things that come in
After kindnesses offered to friend and kin
After the habitual things that we do each day
That help send us all on a merrier way
But just imagine if there were somehow
To increase that and to do it now
Without it requiring anything more
Than 5 minutes of the time that is yours
And just the once, one single time
Added to that, it won't cost a dime
There is
There's this
First step is to sign up at the WCG
Download software that is as safe as can be
To know more spend some time at the site
and you will see over 300,000 words unite
In a promise that it really is this easy, this secure
And that the intentions behind are perfectly pure
To assist scientists as they work toward
eradicating disease and problems that cannot be ignored
By contributing unused computing power
seconds in time turn to minutes turn to hours
When you are idle, the agent will be working
Thus in doing nothing, you will actually be helping
While cooking dinner or bathing the little ones
Attending a meeting or on an errand run
If the computer is on and connected to the net
You will be helping and you cannot regret
The chance to make the real difference
That joining the WCG presents
Step one is to register, download and install
Once done, there is an open invitation to y'all
(LOL, that has to be the simplest so far)
Join the dedicated team that we are
With members from Asia, Europe and the US
A young team that has made amazing progress
As can be seen below
So,
to reiterate
Be a teammate

Team stats up ahead, but first the reason for posting a Bravo post today
CONGRATULATIONS to Kiley
aka ariadneK, who yesterday reached the grand total of
300,000 points and 800 results
for the grid and the team!

As always, the rate at which this essentially small team is crunching is tremendous. In just 5 months of real time, we have between us donated over 7 years of computing time. Thanks all!!!

There are over 17,000 teams and among them we are well on our way to being in the top 1000 of all three categories. The categories are Total Run Time, Points Generated and Results Returned. In the mentioning of these figures, there is the tangible proof that every minute counts and with every result, we will be that much closer to finding what we seek: cures, treatments, knowledge that could potentially help us all.
