Oops,  power outage and for some reason MySQL doesn't come back up right
on reboot.  Stupid debian.  Anyway, when the sparemint site is done I
intend to host it on more reliable hosting (atariforge servers) that is
if Rob gives the final blessing.  Where it's at now is fine for dev
work.  aoi is a reliable server too, I just keep screwing with stuff for
development too.  I use .php for all pages for consistency and
flexibility.  It adds virtually no additional load to put html inside
a .php file with no php code, yet at the same time reduces the need to
change stuff crazily later.  I understand your concerns and they're
valid but this is definitely my style and I'll be sticking to it... I'm
already too deep in a dynamic setup too.. the entire site is dynamic and
database driven and it's a good thing IMHO because all of the dependency
resolution and such will be done on the server due to my poor C coding
skills ;)

Thanks,
