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.

A couple of months ago I held a lecture about “Cheating in public
distributed computing” at the 20th Chaos Communication Congress, one of
the biggest annual hacker conferences in Europe. I discussed the impact of
cheating on distributed computing projects and illustrated several
possible ways to handle the problem. The slides are now available under a
CC license. Additionally I have formulated 3 basic “anti-cheat” rules that
anyone should read before starting a public distributed computing project.
