We don't have a signed certificate yet, just an unsigned one we created, 
which (as I understand it - I'm not terribly knowledgeable about this) 
means that we're susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks: someone could 
potentially masquerade as us, accept your connection, forward your 
connection to us, pretending to be you, and have access to the info 
flowing between us.

Ken's dealing with getting us a signed cert, so if you're worried about 
it and want to wait, we should have that up within a few days, anyway.
