Hi everyone,
Unlike San Antonio Texas, it is well below the freezing point here in Canada, but it is still very nice to be home. My trip was very productive, I found a commercial location for our satellite office in Texas, and placed an offer on it.
However, the offer was conditional to a feasibility study making sure that there is enough fiber optics in the area. Specifically, we are looking for dark fiber so that we can run gigabits of bandwidth to our possible new location.
Let me apologize, for not staying in touch more often. The only frustrating part about my trip was the less than stellar Internet connection at the hotel. I was getting disconnected both on a wired and wireless line every minute or two. It was so bad that I could not even update you here on my blog.
We also had a great time in San Antonio on a more personal level. The history behind the Alamo, the weather, and the growth of the north side of the city and potential for business is limitless. We were also able to meet with another legend in the Internet marketing world. Most of you probably already heard of the name “Joel Christopherâ€.
I had the pleasure of networking with Joel and going out to lunch with him. He’s a very intelligent individual and I look forward to spending more time with him once we become a neighbor in his area.
Because I’ve been primarily out of the office for nine days please let me take today to update myself on what has been going on here. Of course, I am very familiar with the virus attack that occurred but I also want to update you on our new kiosk web site, and the new features of Hotconference.com
I look forward to our hotconference.com meeting together this coming Monday. If you’re interested I have placed some photos from our business trip on my photo gallery here:

The commercial location we put an offer on can be found on this page, it is the beige and orange building.

Have a tremendous weekend and I will see you this coming Monday,

Glad you’re back. AND I’m glad I’m not there. Why we just about froze our assets off when the temp dropped to +40F here in Miami Gardens FL.
I didn’t place a website in the box above because although I’ve been paying for two domains at WS for some two or so years, I’ve never been able to create a site [or, if I have, I don’t know its location. [Mystupid]
What I wanted to ask about, though, is how will your USA office in Texas affect those of us South of the Border, if indeed it does make a differnce?
Keep up he good work which I hope to benefit by before my demise.
Hi Larry
Thank you for the welcome home. In San Antonio specifically there are a ton of datacenters for good reason.
Some of them include Rackspace, Theplanet, ServerBeach and Microsoft just announced at 550 000 000 datacenter coming there next year.
The specific reason for San Antonio is very few natural disaters, good tax abaitments, awesome fiber optics and an awesome labour pool.
Being there will only make things better. I am excited!
Joel
