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, statsbox is still extremely unhealthy. We’re seeing some very strange
behavior in Sybase, with cpu utilization far in excess of what we should be
seeing. Decibel and I are both at a loss as to the cause of the problem.

I guess at this point we’re seeking some peer review on the problem.
If you have practical experience in Sybase database administration and
transact-sql coding, please drop me a line. We’d like a few more sets
of eyes to take a look at this situation. I suspect mssql 6.5 experience
would be equally valuable.

We’ve gotten to the point where we’re not even sure if we can trust what’s
coming out of sp_sysmon.
