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.

Hi all,

I updated the public source, so that it shouldn’t fail to compile at least.

There’s also a new 486 core. This one features self modifying code, and it’s
approx. 5% faster on my 486 DX4/100 under Linux. With other Intel
processors, this core seems dog slow, I wonder why… I will test this code
with a K6 and a K6-2, and I will post the result in this .plan file.
