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.

Moo!
As some of you may have noticed, an album for user photos has been added to
http://gallery.distributed.net. This currently contains old photos (some up to
4, 5 years old).
Obviously, we need some more recent ones in there :)
If you’d like to be featured, email submissions to “fiddles@distributed.net” –

A number of new release candidates have been added to the pre-release
page at http://www1.distributed.net/download/prerelease.php for people
who want to help test new versions prior to formal release.
A new Mac OS X client has been moved from the pre-release page to the
official release page, that incorporates even more PPC speed
improvements for OGR. http://www1.distributed.net/download/updates.php
Kakace has been working very hard to bring forward these exciting PPC
speed optimizations. There will be hopefully be more OGR gains for
other architectures in the next few weeks, once some major OGR core
cleanup and improvements are finished.
I’ve also made available version 1.3.0 of my Win32 LogVis add-on. It
is available on http://www.distributed.net/download/addon.php and
source for it is on http://www.distributed.net/source/ Since everyone
likes looking at screen snapshots, here are a couple for you all:

The fine folks at hackerthreads.com are now selling some really cool t-shirts
with the distributed.net cow on them. I’ve updated the dnetware web page to
point to their distributed.net affiliate storefront, but you can go straight
there from here:

Sport some stylish fashion and help out d.net at the same time.
(the “Moo Country” shirt is my favorite, don’t miss the image on the back)

m00!
Well, looks like pretire has been fixed, finally. The new code has gone
live as of a few hours ago, and all appears to be working

(http://bugs.distributed.net/show_bug.cgi?id=3547) or email
help@distributed.net
Thanks for your (im)patience!

Just a networking status report to say that the IP address of the
statsbox was changed a couple hours ago, to accommodate for an ISP
change at the facility where it is hosted. The DNS entries for it
have already been updated and most people should still be able to
access it at the usual http://stats.distributed.net/ without any
problems, but some people might still have problems for a few more
hours if your DNS servers are not honoring the TTL durations properly.
There is also currently a slight networking glitch that is causing
some backlog of the fullservers reaching the keymaster, but the
buffered nature of our fullserver network should minimize the impact
on any clients. The problem is expected to be resolved within a
couple of hours and the backlog should catch up soon after.
