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.

Last night BovineOne brought the old, dead statsbox over to my house to see
what I could do with it. Moose has already exhausted all the recovery
options I’d know about (and quite a few more, I’m sure) with no luck.

I thought maybe I could at least get Knoppix booted up so I could get dnetc
going again, but had little luck. Knoppix panics trying to probe the SCSI
adapters.

At the very least I’ll be able to pull the database dump off the DLT,
although I think that it’s older than the copy I’m working with currently
from Decibel.

http://www.slacker.com/photos/computers/IMG_1792 for a pic of Slacker NOC,
if anyone’s curious.

As far as I know, we’re still looking at a Tuesday ship date on the new
server. I’ve asked if that date could be pushed up, but no word yet from
the vendor.

Lastly, I got bored yesterday and coded up an RSS feed of .plans. which is
available at http://n0cgi.distributed.net/cgi/rss-plans.cgi or on
LiveJournal at http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=dnetplans

Moo.
