PHP Lesson: is_int() vs. is_numeric() This one is for Steve: Note to anyone else who might do the dumb thing I did.

San Franciscans to Reclaim the Streets This is just a few blocks from where I live. A new Reclaim The Streets movement is underway in San Francisco. Participants hope to replace the usual glut of automobiles near the intersection of Haight and Stanyan Streets with a flood of pirate-attired, partying pedestrians on Valentine's Day 2004 from noon until 9 pm. The original Reclaim The Streets groups coalesced to form massive London street disruptions in the 1990s, including a 1996 event in which thousands reappopriated a 3/4 mile stretch of highway to form a giant street party. See details of the San Francisco RTS movement, and plans for the February 14 event, at http://www.rts-sf.org. And spread the word. (PARANOID WARNING: The RTS-SF Web site includes a mysterious sign-up form that requests your e-mail address. I'm not saying the people behind this site aren't who they claim to be, but it's best to assume the worst -- that spammers and/or John Ashcroft are on the receiving end of that form. Use a junk e-mail account, or just don't register.) [Smart Mobs] 10:57:05 AM    trackback []
