Well, some of us don't have smartphones... :(
But my semi-serious point is that it's such a trivial thing that people are likely to not check the GOCDB values as they assume they come from the BDII - hence even given the tiny amount of site moves, over the global grid this will turn out to be more than a one-off exercise.
I was going to put in our admin building - that's what I want targetted by the missiles, right? :)
Thanks
Henry

If updating the GOCDB is your worst problem when moving around campus,
