i'm going to post this for google's benefit. if anyone is looking for a good php 5 web host check out telana.com. they've got their shit together. mysql and ssh are included in the base price. they keep all the software up to date. there's a good selection of pear modules.
the support is amazing, i just sent off an email (at 2am) asking how to hide .svn directories on the website and got a response 10 minutes later saying it was fixed.
dan and mikey got back into town yesterday. this morning i got up early and went down to city hall to greet jim mullner, the nation bicycle greenway rider who was meeting mayor tom potter. i know martin, the guy who runs the nbg, was trying to get people to come out but it was just me and a lady from the BTA. i ended up riding south with him to make sure he got on 99W okay. it was a pretty nice ride if you're into 5-lane rodes with variable amounts of bike lane.
this evening dan, mikey and i went down and rode in dabby's birthday alleycat. it was confusing as fuck but a good time.
