Sidereal

Greetings and salivations to all. I am interested in joining the heliohost community in order to develop a multi-function website, part personal interests, and one part PHP-driven math practice pages for kids. I have dabbled in PERL in the past but am barely acquainted with PHP, so it would be a learning experience for me. I had some trouble with the forum helionet sign-up. It did not send the validation email after 3 requests across about 3 days. It had me in the validating group, so I couldn't post about it. I was on the verge of emailing "contact" about it when I figured out a work-around which finally got me validated on the forums... but I saw on the web-host sign-up that this forum membership is required, so if the emailing of the validation is broken, I have to wonder if helionet is alive and well. Replies appreciated! I have not yet succeeded in web host heliohost signup, since I was halted with this forum signup validation issue, the one time that Stevie wasn't locked out. I'll try again, but figured I may'z well say hello here first.
