Hi Oliver,
Yes I know all about this. It is rather a lengthy story which I can fill
you in on. Officially where it stands is that Housing is meeting with
the House Master and House manger for Random today to discuss potential
options for providing a cluster of some sort to Random. Phil/Vijay
committed to doing something and we are just working through the details
and alternatives. I can fill you in on the other details one on one
without boring everyone else. Or we can just wait and discuss it at the
next Owls meeting...Brian
