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.

Okay, they’re out. I made the fatal mistake of announcing that they were
in the pipeline prior to their actually being in the pipeline; a horde
of anxious users flooded Moose with some emails that he didn’t have to
receive. I won’t make that mistake again…

I yanked the ‘start & hide’ applescript from the 68k distribution just
before upload because of a few reports of it being faulty. Various
applescripts will become separately available as support for that
technology in the client increases.

You’ll also find that the 68k client hogs your CPU. This is (obviously)
a timing issue, and we’ll work on it in future releases.

I’ll keep you posted.
