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.

Well, the correction is underway for the stats under-reporting issue
from 13-Jun. We used a script that turned the duplicates log into a
keyserver buffer file and converted all the dupes from 13-Jun into
the outbuffer on the bhm.al.us proxy. You can see that the outbuffer
size as shown on http://www.distributed.net/rc5/proxyinfo.html is
a bit large for a proxy that’s only on the unusual ports.

It will take a while for the outbuffer to completely drain, and it’s
likely that all the dupes won’t get re-submitted until after 00:00
tonight. Still, you should see the bulk of the missing blocks in
tonight’s stats run.

Thanks for your patience as we worked through this issue.
