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.

Ok, backup is done. Since it’s late and I’m tired and just had to fix some
stupidity, I’m going to vent. :)

Why on earth does RH Linux think that bash is a drop-in replacement for
sh? This:

#!/bin/sh

gets you a bash shell on statsbox. You’d *think* it would get you a sh
shell, since that’s what you asked for, but no, RH Linux knows better than
you what you actually want.

To be fair, from what I understand RH isn’t the only linux that does this.

I just can’t wait for the day that Sybase releases a free version of it’s
server for FreeBSD.

Anyway, thanks for listening, and expect the statsrun to be done in about
5 hours.

Moo!
