I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I see that there's already a spoiler class with that exact definition, but it's not being used for the quickedit.

I'm not sure why it's not being used for the quickedit. That's an oversight on my part. Let me fix that right now.

And then I'll look over the files you sent, and toss you the password in question.

Part of what I am trying to achieve with the rewrite exercise is to put all the HTML generation on one level, so it's easier to maintain. Right now all sorts of code, classes and pages, can generate HTML. Messy, messy, messy. Want to separate form from function as much as possible.

Quick update from support, will detail more later.

Oh, and Jon, I realise I never did any of what I said I'd do for you this weekend. More in email.

They said that we can go up to PHP5 on Plesk, and any version of PostreSQL (because it's not integrated with Plesk), but we'd be kept on MySQL 4.

So I'm even more pro-upgrade than I was before.

Got it, ita. No worries. Take your time.

Someone suggested to me that instead of paying the hourly conversion rate we sign up again with iStrata and migrate our stuff over to the new (presumably upgraded) account.

Even if we had two accounts open in parallel for a month, it'd be cheaper than paying for more than an hour of their services.

Of course, with a lot more of the work on our laps.

Which raises the point--why iStrata? Are there hosts out there who are stable but keep a more current level of the apps running?

I don't know. I'm tired just thinking about all of it.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I've used ev1servers.net in the past (they're massive), and can recommend them.

Has anyone heard of these guys? Their marketing makes them sound amazing.

I'm currently playing with css.buffistas.net. If anything goes wrong, it's probably my fault.

t later Never mind. My brain can't code right now.

The Planet is hella expensive, and I haven't even been able to find out what versions of MySQL, PHP and PostgreSQL they run yet. Still looking.

MediaTemple looks cool, but I wonder if it's currently unreasonable to find a decent host with 8.x PostgreSQL and 5.x MySQL.

These hosts say they offer them:

I've been wondering, does the to-do list need to be updated? I don't think it really reflects what's going on with the board.
