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.

Just a few words about how the completion numbers are generated. The
single “Percent Complete” number is actually the average of how far along
we are for pass 1 and pass 2. The current breakdown of how things are
going is:

project_id | pass1_pct | pass2_pct | tot_pct
————+———–+———–+———
24 | 85.23 | 49.70 | 67.46
25 | 81.90 | 47.60 | 64.75

Also, these numbers represent the number of stubs done. Given that some
stubs require much more work than others, the percent complete may not be
a linear representation of how much work is left to do. On the other hand,
the work returned is spread out fairly evenly across the stubspace, so it
should be close.

We had a partial password reminder run with mailman this past weekend, but
it was stopped prior to completion … sooo, I’m going to run it again
manually. My apologies in advance for subscribers that receive duplicate
password reminders.
