Successfully, I spent the last day trying to enable Clean URL's on a Drupal 5.7 remote server (media temple (dedicated virtual). I want to thank all CDMUG members who pulled together with me to investigate this by phone, email, and IM. Im walking away from this with a new appreciation for linux guru's and the ssh command line. With that said - Im going to provide a 5 step hack to enable Clean URL's. I'd only try this hack as a last resort; I put a few links below that have more tips on the subject.

Step 1. Download this x.htaccess file

I heard about this last night... and researched it (everyone else is probably way ahead of me, but I thought I would share anyway)

Drupalcon 2008 at the Boston Convention and Expo Center is officially sold out. It's no surprise to me though, I saw 180 tickets at $200 a piece sell over this last weekend. This twice-yearly gathering of Drupalers discussing and advancing Drupal while networking with each other is a can't miss. It would be great to know the home locations from all attendees - I imagine every corner of the world will be represented in Boston! The last conference was in Barcelona - I wonder if that sold out?

In my continuing effort to turn all of you into librarians, I've got a new screencast up at my site with the awesome title, 'Creating a Library Database Page with Drupal':
