Are you having trouble getting into this site?

One of the security certificates has been cancelled.

 

[gibbo]

No problems with me, not yet anyway.

 

[DaveHam9]

Oh, my security program won't let me in unless I tell it to ignore the warning message. It's probably safe as long as a padlock shows at the top.

 

[gibbo]

I was hoping there would be a obit for John or Mary but none i can find, just the ones i have posted already.
