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.

You’ve probably noticed that statsbox is offline yet again. We don’t know
what’s happened to it. Unfortunately, the two people who have access to the
data center are both unavailable due to the holidays and we’re not sure when
we’ll be able to get in there to take a look.

In related news, we’re planning to relocate statsbox to a new (better) location
sometime in January.

Stats are back online again. Sorry for all the recent downtime.

Fritz is looking happy again. I’m running a vacuum of the entire database to
make sure PostgreSQL is happy as well. Once that’s done I’ll turn stats back
on.

*sigh*

Got a background fsck failure on /usr which I wasn’t able to handle remotely.
My attempt ended up rendering the box off the net, so we’re now stuck until
someone can get to the console, which might well be tomorrow. Ooops.

Sorry for the continued delay…

Replacement drives are finally here. We’re working on getting a backup before
doing the RAID rebuild, which is why stats are down. They should hopefully be
back up in time for statsrun.
