Watch the story of the Ugandan Civil war and the children kidnapped from their beds by the rebel soldiers during the night. Join the Global Night Commute this Saturday April 29, by making the trek to sleep in your local city to commemorate the children in Uganda which travel miles every night to hide away from the Rebel armies who seek to kidnap and forcibly recruit them. Help get the message out showing the press and government officials that its time to put pressure on the Ugandan government to end this war.

Web Hosting Service

I'm looking for a place to host a web site. These are the basic requirements

Runs on Linux
Mysql databases (at least 5, but 20 or more would be good)
Perl support
PHP support
Ability to run cron jobs
SSH Access
SFTP Access
Ability to connect to outside sites using wget from cron
Preferably < $10 a month What am I going to call my new web site? TopherCentral of course... just kidding. I'm not sure what I'm going to call it yet. Besides creating a page which aggregates blogs of everyone I know, I'm kicking around creating a place where anyone can submit me an article of a Christian blogs from any where on the net and I'll link to them with discussion boards. Possibly a kind of Christian Slashdot. Or maybe a community of communities site. For example why do sites like slashdot only relate to one theme with one type of reader. Why don't they create a site where anyone can make a new community based sites. Well the obvious answer would be money but if the new sites were ad supported it could be designed to pay for itself.
