That will be happening today (the liveblog's running again to handle
them). Since it's Single transferable vote, rather than FPTP, it's fed
into a machine, so they do that today. 9also, my home town of Liverpool
deferred their council results until this morning, as they spent last
night doing votes for the first ever Mayor.

Mumble does not work for me. It's NEVER worked for me. And I've never
understood the obsession pirates have with it. voice is always less
useful, especially for international work, because speaking and
listening to languages, is harder than reading and writing (while using
more bandwidth).

Not many details to know though, I set you up an invite, it tells you
how to log in, that's about it.
