6 May 2008 - 17:49Long Waited, Shortest Move From Suite 205 to 206

Moving from Suite 205 to 206We have been planning to move from our current office suite to a larger office for a long time. We have been in our current location for four years; since moving is no fun, we had been putting it off for a long time.

Finally, we got an offer that was hard to refuse! Today, the office building manager told me that she has the suite next door available, which happens to include all the facilities we were looking for including: our very own conference room, a ;locked server room, enough office space for all our Sacramento staff members. We quickly reviewed the offer as shown below:

  • The new suite meets all our requirements
  • Two of the office rooms inside the suite have large glass windows
  • The conference room has a sunroof! Beautiful sunlight powers the room, which is awesome
  • Moving our stuff from 205 to 206 would be a breeze as it is literally next door!
  • We can have the data and phone service vendors take their time for installing everything during the entire month of May
  • Best of all,  FREE underground parking for the CEO

Now there is an offer, we could not refuse. :)

We gave the building manager the go-ahead to write up the new lease for an additional year and we are getting the new keys for 206 on Friday! The new office will have some additional goodies:

  • Two 8 Mbps data links: one for the office network and another as a dedicated backup/VPN network
  • A FREE cable TV hookup from Comcast, which will come handy since we are planning not to use projector in our conference room. Instead, we plan to deploy a 42″ LCD TV. Equipped with a Wacom Tablet, we can draw on the TV screen instead of using a projector and a laser pointer. We can then print out our screens on color laser for everyone to have copies of the meeting notes and scribbles

The move will be completed by June 1st.
