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 stats run this evening failed for reasons I have not yet determined.
The bcp (that’s “Bulk Copy”) routine that dumps the actual log files into
the database failed with complaints of being unable to connect to the
server. I have, however, been unable to duplicate the failure. While
worrisome, there isn’t much I can do in the way of debugging unless it
decides to start failing more consistently. I’ve simply restarted the
run and I’ll keep an eye on it as it goes.

As a result, of course, the update will be delayed this evening. Sorry
for the inconvienence.
