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.

Ok i for got to tell everyone one thing. I updated
http://www/distributed.net/beta/ with this information, but here it is
for you:

– You need to disable fallback to the distributed.net keyservers. Inthe
configuration set 2) Buffer and Buffer Update –> 6)
Keyserver<->client connectivity option –> 5) Keyserver is a personal
proxy on a protected LAN? ==> no [<--Make that a yes]

– You could also just edit the .ini and add to the [parameters] section
“nofallback=1”

Sorry for the confusion
Moose!

Hope everyone is having fun, because I know I am! We have announced
our beta test of the OGR/CSC contests. I announced it Monday in
#distributed on efnet to see if we could find any major bugs right
away. Now with the coverage of the beta at http://www.slashdot.org/
we have decided to go ahead and announce it on a larger scale.

So for those of you who don’t know here is the info on the beta:

Beta page is located at: http://www.distributed.net/beta/ Please read
the whole page before jumping in on the beta. If you are going to
tell someone else about the beta please refer to this page and not
directly to the location of the beta clients.

Beta FAQ is at http://www.distributed.net/beta/betafaq.html Please
read this before asking more questions.

You are running the beta client and you followed all the directions on
the beta page and you are having problems, fill out a bug report at
http://www.distributed.net/bugs/

If you are looking for someone to talk to come visit us at
#distributed on efnet. If someone in the know is around we will try
to help you out, but please report all bugs to bugzilla first.

As far as clients available, we have clients for FreeBSD (elf), Linux
(glibc2), Win32, Win16, and DOS. Yes I know you want more clients and
we are working on it and they will be posted to the beta page as soon
as we get them. Please also note that the clients timeout 1 week from
the date they are updated on the web page. You will need to keep on
top of updating clients, so please check back often.

Thanks and Happy Beta!

Well one quick update.

rc5des-win32-x86-cli.zip v2.7112.444b

The win32 client was updated to properly fix the screen saver
multiplexor. The screen saver multiplexor now properly works.

Beginning with 2.7112.444, the client distribution (ie .zip) includes
a screen saver multiplexor that will launch the client in the
background and another screen saver of your choice in the
foreground. When deactivated, the multiplexor will stop the
client. The screen saver is tagged as a Windows 4.0 module, ie for
Windows95 /WindowsNT 4.0 or greater, since Win40’s Screen Saver
preview mode only works with 4.0 executables. To run it under
WindowsNT 3.x read readme.txt in the client distribution for
information.

enjoy!
