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.

The master is back-logged right now, and has been for quite some time.
(http://n0cgi.distributed.net/rc5-proxyinfo.html) This is due to a
‘MegaFlush’ that the Dutch Power Cows are doing, despite our requests that
they discontinue this practice.

The effect of this backlog is that daily stats will be off for the next
several days. Everyone’s stats will appear low for today, and will slowly
return to normal over the next few days.

Outbound work will still be available. Once the backlog has been processed
by the master, RC5 stats will return to normal. OGR stats should be
un-affected. Expect the occurance of dupes to increase while this backlog
exists as well.

Before my in-box gets flooded… :)

Master was down for about 4 hours at the end of Feb 10, so everyone’s
stats for Feb 10 will be a little low. The back-logged work will be in
the run for Feb 11.

The rc5 run aborted last night, and at this point it’s really too late to
start it for today, so I’m just going to leave it for tonight. That means
that there will be two rc5 runs tonight instead of the usual one.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Due to an operational issue with the keymaster, 35 hours worth of OGR and
RC5 log files were lost between Dec. 10 and Dec. 13. This is why the stats
for these dates are so low. The work was recorded by the master, but it
was not logged to log-files.

We are working on recovering the lost logfile information from the
fullserver proxy logs at this time, and will post an update when available.

A while ago, I changed the teamjoin page so that it was pulling your old
team affiliation from the proper place, but I forgot that that info was
also listed on the pedit page. I just fixed pedit.php3 so that it will
properly show your team affiliation. If you’re not seeing blocks get
attributed to the proper team, please re-join that team.

OGR stats are up-to-date again, though team ranking is wonky for OGR-25…
I’ll fix that later tonight. RC5 is currently running.

There was a problem with one of the logfiles a few days ago which caused
more problems with stats than I had originally thought. The OGR stats are
catching up, which should take an hour or so. Once that’s done, I’ll start
the RC5 run. Sorry for the delay.

I’m re-running yesterday’s stats… the -23 logfile contained an entry
for 1122, and stats didn’t like that.

The good news is that statsruns will be *much* faster in the near future…
stay tuned. }:8>

Someone told stats that I’m out of town, so the rc5 run puked. It’s all
set for tonight though. Sorry for the delay.

Ok, this time I mean it… if your work isn’t making it to a team, re-join.
:)

There was a bug in pteamjoin where it wouldn’t re-join you to a team if
it thought you were already on that team. All fixed now, everything should
work fine.
