staff blogs

distributed.net staff keep (relatively) up-to-date logs of their activities in .plan files. These were traditionally available via finger, but we've put them on the web for easier consumption.

Hello! My name is Anthony ‘complex’ Elizondo. I’ve been with distributed.net
for about 6 months, doing mostly things that would be too boring to note
here.

My official title at distributed.net is officially Logistics Coordinator.
What it means is I mostly keep track of little things that tend to be
forgotten about, like accounting for distributed.net hardware donated and
in use across the world. It also entails finding people who might be able
to help distributed.net.

Right now decibel and bwilson are keeping stats running, but look forward
to revamping it to include multiple concurrent project statistics, greater
efficiency, and personalized stats pages. One area in which help is needed
is PHP coding. What follows is a job description for Lead Stats PHP Coder.
I encourage anyone with a bit of free time and the appropriate skills to
apply. Also, please pass this along to anybody you know who may be
interested. Resumes and cover letters may be e-mailed to
complex@distributed.net and/or decibel@distributed.net.
