Hell Week

As I told you, I wouldn´t go to Computex but our website was going to send someone. I was cool with that, in fact I decided it. But as always, things didn´t go as planned. My partner lost his flight and didn´t make it to Computex.

The problem is the next available flight would arrive on Thursday leaving only two days for covering the show. Well travelling from Chile isn´t exactly cheap, so we decided to cancel everything.

Covering the tradeshow wasn´t really our primary focus, but being there, letting manufacturers know you care about checking out their newest products and investing in content is always a good thing. People that work in hardware companies tend to move a lot from their jobs, that is why you need to keep track of them, not only through e-mail but also meeting with them.

I´m really upset with this and that´s why we decided some things. We will start making reservations for CES 2008 in the short term and this time I´m not going alone. We are also going to visit CeBit next year and send over a team for Computex, Taipei. It´s also very probable I will have to go to the Valley at least once before the year ends for meetings and stuff…

You know what they say, what doesn´t kill you, makes you stronger.
