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.

The 9gb uw-scsi drive arrived today and has been installed in
statsbox-ii. I’ll be dropping the data back on tomorrow and resuming
development. Expect a day or so showing DrSpoo around the database,
and then we’ll each dig into things in earnest. Oh, we’re running
-pre2 as well, which Sybase REALLY likes. If any of you out there are
experimenting with the Sybase ASE for Linux release, I highly recommend
the 2.2.0-pre kernel. It’s a good fit. 2.2.0 is looking mighty nice.
Recent kernel improvements have removed the 128mb RAM limitation and
allow Sybase to scale much higher.

I’ve also shipped a 9gb drive off for installation in the keymaster, to
give us more breathing room during DES-III. dbaker should have it in
his hands in about eight hours.
