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, distributed.net has just spent the largest single sum of money it’s
ever spent (barring prize payments). It’s well-past time to upgrade our
aging keymaster, so I just placed an order for a nice Dell PowerEdge 2550.

The new box will add reliability in the form of RAID and the twin CPUs
will take advantage to the better threading model that cow recently added
to the master code. We’ll also really appreciate the additional drive
space.

I apologize for letting the ledger fall a bit stale lately, we’ve changed
banks (with my move to Austin) and I haven’t found the time to bring the
online register up to date. I will get it updated this week to reflect
this purchase as well as other spending that DCTI has made.

Moo!
