I’ve managed to get several portions of the website finally cleaned up
and updated this weekend. Most visibly this includes our old source
code distribution page, now at http://www.distributed.net/source/
instead of /cores/ as it was before. There will probably be an
updated bundling of our public source sometime in the near future,
though I can’t give you a precise estimate of when.
Also made more prominent links to some of the more obscure pages on
our site. The unmaintained news pages are now gone and replaced by
our single History & Timeline page.
I have also made available some of the vectorized Encapsulated
PostScript (EPS) images of a few of my favorite cartoon cow pictures.
These EPS versions can be enlarged to extremely large resolutions
without pixelation effects. The original low-res bitmaps from which
those were derived contributed to many of our graphics, including the
client application icon used on the Windows, MacOS, OS/2, and RISC OS
GUI clients. You can grab them from http://www.distributed.net/logos/
These might be useful to people planning on submitting poster entries
in our design contest (but you’ll still need to be creative to win).
See http://www.distributed.net/poster.html for details.
In general, things have been rather busy for me since I am a senior
and will be graduating from Harvey Mudd College this May and have been
fussing with job choices and such. Furthermore, I’ll be traveling to
Eindhoven, The Netherlands next Monday for a full week with my
teammates to compete in the ACM International Finals
http://acm.baylor.edu/acmicpc/, so I’ve been tied up with preparations
for that as well.
I’m hoping to be able to get the next build of the personal proxy
released before I leave, otherwise it’ll probably get released when I
come back. There are a number of new features that I’m sure many of
you will greatly welcome.
