Don't worry kids I found 2 good references. Just in time. The job is for ALCO industries a medium sized buisness and one of the largest machine shops in Edmonton. The fancy title for the position is "Junior Design Engineer". Don't know if I can get the job but you can't really tell these things untill they actually offer the job to you. I hope I get it but you can never really know.

Arcade Fire Christmas Album?

"The 20-second clip opens with the Smurfs happily dancing and singing their theme song accompanied by birds and butterflies.

But then planes appear which drop bombs on the idyllic scene, setting fire to the blue-skinned characters' houses.

One character, Smurfette, is killed and others run for cover while a baby is left crying in the middle... "

Thanks for the links Ed!

i can be your reference if you desparately need one, but seriously, i think you can do a lot better than me.

What's the job Al?

Who wants to be my reference for a job interview I'll be having soon?

Hey Beck -

Here is a link to the company I was thinking of:
http://web.tera-byte.com/
While they are probably not the only company here in Edmonton, I've heard they are fairly cheap in comparison to others. It might be worth looking around a bit. They do allow you to host your own hardware through their co-located plans.

Another link was for http://www.no-ip.com/. This will allow you to host a server through something like your shaw account and deal with dynamic IP addresses changing on you.

Also, here is a link to that LAMP book I was talking about. You access it through the UofA Libraries through books24x7 (a service I'll miss in about 2 weeks...)

Last link is to the Dell Financial Services website. This where they list off-lease, recertified, or refurbished pc's, laptops, etc... including servers. Doesn't look like they have any right now, but it is worth checking often.
