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.

Blower is quite unhappy with the rc5 data in the new table format.
Specifically, web site access is generating a huge amount of disk IO. Based on
a quick check of page load times, the problem seems to be on the email side,
rather than the team’s side.

I’ve updated index statistics on all the major tables used by the new stats
system, but that didn’t help.

We’re going to have to try and figure out what queries are taking so long to
run from the website. Until we can do that, things are going to run a bit slow.
Hopefully we can get this cleaned up in the next week or so. In the meantime,
expect web access to be turned off at times to facilitate the statsruns.
