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.

I’ve recently fixed the keyspace plots which show how much of a subspace
has been completed and/or assigned.

For sent subspaces, black means that portion of the subspace was assigned
and white means that part has yet to be assigned. For completed (done)
subspaces, black means that portion has been completed and white means that
it has yet to be completed.

The plots are available at: http://www.distributed.net/statistics/graphs/

Expect more features (ie. animation over time) shortly.

OK, one thing I forgot to do after the watcher<->n0 move
was revive the e scripts.

Expect some feature changes shortly, but for now, it’s
back in action at http://www.distributed.net/proxymessages.html

Well, I finally got around to regenerating the master keyserver logs
for the later part of Sep22 1998. I had started the “project” a while
ago, but it’s so painfully slow working on the log backup server that
I’ve bailed out of the task several times.

I was able to recover about 78% of the data. The “missing” 22% should
also be finished within a few weeks. (Having to get in touch with some
hard-to-reach proxy operators).

The new data should already be reflected on stats.

I am working on regenerating the keymaster logs for Sep 22. I plan
to give them to Nugget on Monday so they will make it into that
day’s stats run.

The keymaster log volume is in need of expansion. If you
have a 4gig UWSCSI disk that you would be interested in donating
to distributed.net, please contact me.
