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.

I’m working on setting up email aliases for regional support in the form of

regional-XX@distributed.net

where XX is the country code. I’ve also asked our .cgi gurus (Moonwick and
Vetere) to start work on the web site translation tool.

On a personal note, I’ve broken down and started using vi. It’s Nugget’s fault,
his little .plan tool seems to like to use it irregardless of what $EDITOR is
set to. Personally, I’ll take a less esoteric editor any day of the week,
though I will admit it will be nice learning vi since it’s on just about every
UNIX system you’ll ever come across (or so I’m told).
