Yep, I've done this - the problem I had this time was two-fold.

1. I forgot once to transfer the files
2. I mistakenly thought I could get away with updating my tech. scores
independantly of winvote ( a quick batch job as I was giving everyone 10).

Don't get me wrong - it's an excellent program. Truly. I just find it too
easy to get into trouble with the security features, and am not entirely
sure they are justified in this context.

Next month promises to be even more problematic - the couple who we share a
house with want to vote as well (my final vote would be an average of
their's and me and my partner's votes). Still, as long as I don't try and
code any perl at 1.00am, I'm sure I'll manage.
