Not only that, but I _already_ announced this in this newsgroup once... :)
Of course, ftp.cco.caltech.edu will work _now_ as well, so it's probably
best if everybody just redirects themselves now, and the January 18
change will then be transparent.

As for the availability of Blockade, due to copyright disputes, Blockade
is currently _not_ available on CCO (the file is there, but it's no longer
world-readable). As soon as its ultimate disposition is determined by
some kind of settlement of the dispute, I'll either make it available
again or remove it completely.

Finally, there are no problems with the site... Other than the maintenance
times Nathan mentioned, nothing has changed.

I doubt there is a difference...
