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.

Just a few little things, none thrilling, but it’s better than no plan update:

New drive for statsbox-ii

Thanks to the generosity of the fine folks at MacLine, we’ve now got a
nice, new 4gb uw-scsi drive for statsbox-ii. If you’re near their neck
of the woods, have a look at http://www.macline.be for all your mac
needs. Looks like we’re also going to go ahead and spring for a 9gb
drive out of the money that you’ve all been able to raise from iGive
(See my 15-Dec .plan for details). This will give us sufficient
breathing room to move the stats database to a much faster and more
reliable uw-scsi subsystem.

I sure could use adsl

It takes roughly four hours to bcp the tot_team table from statsbox
to me over my ISDN. :)

I made it to work today

Thanks to all the well-wishers, both the wife and I are feeling much
better today.

21-Dec, seeing double?

Yeah, the stats are doubled on 21-Dec. This will be corrected within
the next couple of days. Sorry about the confusion.
