Every presidential campaign needs a website these days, so it is my delight to announce the launch of jamesthevicar.com/vote I’ve also created the Ogley 2005 site button so people can link back to my site and show their support like this: Yes, it’s all a bit of fun, but it’s just so me!

Uploading new openssh and gftp packages, these include fixes to the following security issues: CVE ID CAN-2003-0190 CVE ID CAN-2005-0372 The OpenSSH update also fixes a few other minor issues. Visitors Day at college today, I’m helping out with the morning session, hopefully we can give a good (accurate) impression of the college, and maybe …
