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.

additional work on developmental proxy and current proxy source tree.
fixed possible problem in the key-generation of the developmental
master code that could have caused problems.

added new logic to the automatic client selector (select.cgi) so that
it will suggest alternate platforms if it knows of other “close”
operating systems.

further work on dynamic object code classes, and begun additional work
on both coff and elf object support classes.

rewrote the /webcams/ page to use server-side php instead of
client-side Java-script.

wrote a new single-process, non-forking datapipe that works equally
well on Win32 machines. this will eventually be put in place on the
ftp site in the “unsupported” directory in place of the current
datapipe.c that is there.
