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.

As you know, stats.distributed.net now points to blower, the new and
improved Quad Xeon beast in the United Devices data center.
Current blower status: – OGR has catched up until January 2nd, 2002 –
RC5 is catching up, yes, if you’re seeing something like
“Data shown reflects all blocks received as of 17-Dec-2001” we’re busy
catching up. While stats are on, hmm, processor power…

Ok, I guess stats were off a bit longer than I planned. Look on the bright
side; it allowed blower to do some catching up. :)
With web access turned off, Dec. 24th and 25th OGR ran in 1/2 hour (both
days, importing the logs and all). RC5 runs have varied between 1 and 2
hours.

I’m making some tweaks to the RC5 run, so stats are down atm. Should be
back soon.

Blower is up and running with real data now. It’s currently re-processing
the past few weeks of RC5 (at the rate of 1.5 hours per day of rc5!). It
also needs to reprocess 2 weeks of OGR.
We’re still checking things out, but expect it to become live as the new
statsbox very soon!

I’ve taken tally offline to get a final BCP for the migration to blower.
With any luck, stats will start the new year on a new box. :)

It appears there was a slight glitch with the OGR statsrun for Dec. 20th.
It appears that on that day, the work for the 19th was processed along
with the 20th. I’ll work on fixing this some time soon.
Thanks to Stanley Appel for pointing this out to me. }:8)

Moo from Chicago!
Sorry for the disruption in stats over the past few days. It’s been a bit
tricky trying to stay on top of things with travel and plans for the
holidays.
Tally is caught-up on RC5, and it’s about to start the daily run for 12/21
OGR. It will probably catch up on OGR sometime tomorrow, after tonight’s
RC5 run.
Blower is nearing completion; although I haven’t found time to work on it
the past few days. Hopefully I’ll find some time tomorrow or Wed.
Merry Christmas! Moo!

There was a hiccup in the 12/18 rc5 logs, which caused processing to fail.
This also caused the ogr logs not to run.
I’ve fixed the problem, and rc5 is now running. Since it will probably
take a very long time for tally to catch up with rc5, I’ve turned the web
access off for right now.
The good news is that blower is currently building indexes for all of the
tables that have been copied over from tally, so we’re getting closer to
having blower in production.
:: 21-Dec-2001 00:38 (Friday) ::
Though we’ve had some outages recently because of the migration from tally
to blower, the current outage is unrelated. According to PetrDoubt, the
switch between tally and the outside world has frozen up and needs to be
rebooted. I’m sure Petr will take care of it as soon as he can. In the
mean time, please be patient. Also, you can be sure that this will not
affect any stats totals – all the work is queuing up and will be reported
correctly when we catch up.
Moo!

Copying the database is obviously taking longer than anticipated. I’m
hoping it will be done in the next hour.
