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.

Right after yesterday’s State of the Net was posted
(http://www.distributed.net/SOTN.html), several of you rushed off to
http://www.distributed.net/jobs/ in order to file for the currently
offered positions here at d.net.

Even though the submission cgi was tested shortly before the SOTN
post, it failed to properly record 6 submissions yesterday. The 6
missing submissions were filed on July 7, 1999 between 07:20 and 11:10
UTC. I sincerely apologize for this unexpected problem and would like
to ask the people who submitted their application during that 4 hour
lapse of time following the SOTN post to please take the time to
resubmit their application, so that it can effectively be processed.
2 submissions were from Italy, another 2 from Spain, 1 from the US and
the last one from Europe. If you have any doubts, please consider
reposting your application.

Once again I wish to apologize for that glitch that has now been
fixed, and would like to thank those who have volunteered so quickly
for their enthusiasm. I hope to welcome you aboard shortly!

If you have any questions, email me at jfc@distributed.net
