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.

I’ve gotten some reports of inconsistencies in the number of blocks reported
to teams and the number of blocks reported in the team members listing.
I’m inclined to believe that this is due to the manual stats-runs that
happened yesterday. Stats are running right now, so hopefully all will be
well after the run is over.

On the good news front, Bruce is making steady progress on the OGR stats.
While it will be nice to have the OGR stats up and running, the real
excitement about this behind the scenes is that he’s taking this opportunity
to completely revamp the database structure for OGR. This will result in
less space being used, and faster stats-runs. Once we’ve tested the
structure on OGR, we should be able to move the RC5 data into the same
structure, which will result in much better, faster, and robust RC5 stats.

So, please bear with us… we are working to improve things, even if that
effort isn’t visible to most of the participants. }:8)
