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.

All .420-423 clients have been declared unfit for operation, on grounds
they revert to the rc5 project after running out of des blocks.

It is requested that you downgrade to a .41x series client immediately.
All .420-423 clients are being removed from the distribution sites as I
post this.

I should make clear that there is nothing wrong with the actual
block-processing code in these clients; your rc5 work is valid and you
will retain credit for it. The problem lies solely in the
project-selection code, and does not affect actual work in any way.

Build 424 will remedy the problem. Watch cyp’s plan for further
information.
