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.

Now that it’s safe to do so without tipping the whole world off to RC5 being
completed (you DO know it’s completed, right?), I’ve started removing all
the work since July 14th from stats. Things will look a bit odd until this
process is complete, which will be some time tonight. I’m going to leave the
stats up at least for a while, since everyone is busy looking at what we’ve
accomplished. Expect final stats sometime in the morning.

Moo!

The RC5 run bombed last night, so I’m re-running it. Expect stats to be off for
a bit.

Blower’s memory upgrade is here, so expect some downtime while we install it.

More fun stats bugs…. I’m going to re-run the stats for Aug 18. Expect
some downtime while I’m tinkering about. Sorry for the inconvenience.

And by the way, when it does come time to announce that we’ve found the
key, it won’t be done by breaking stats, so stop sending email everytime
stats is broken asking if that’s why. :)

The audit script for rc5 is running right now. When it’s done (in about a
half-hour), I can turn stats-runs back on. You should notice that the wonky rc5
data for early April has been fixed.

Enjoy!

I’m working on stats right now, so expect some oddities. I’m also going to turn
off the stats processing routine, so expect a delay in tonight’s stats.

There was an anomaly in the RC5 logs yesterday which prevented the statsrun
from happening. I’ve fixed the problem so RC5 should do the daily run sometime
later tonight.
