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.

In less than an hour, rc5 will be up-to-date in the new stats processing
system. This means we can finally migrate to a single code base for everything,
which paul is working on. It also means improved data integrity for the future,
as the new stats system has extensive auditing to ensure that errors don’t go
un-detected. Unfortunately, in order to move the RC5 info into the new system
without re-processing every log that exists for RC5, we had to make some
assumptions about the data that is in the old system, which does contain some
inconsistencies. Correcting this will require re-processing all existing RC5
logs, which will happen at some point in the future.

Anyway, look for a new set of stats pages in the near future.

Moo!
