I Am Off To Toronto!

have fun on your trip

test

john, did you get hacked?

Niagara...you can't not have the icewine while you're there, John. You should also go see Niagara-on-the-lake -- it's this really quaint town that's absolutely endearing. Then maybe drop by Fallsview for some Las Vegas-esque fun. The Fallsview buffet is just to-die-for: shrimps, steaks, Alaskan crabs...mmm. Oh, and if you end up liking Susur, you'll find Flow on Yorkville and North 44 on Yonge quite appealing, too. :cool:

While your here you should really check out Niagara Falls. If it was warmer weather I would recommend the Maid of the Mist. Cossette Communications group is in Toronto. One of my friends has an internship there. They are the marketing company behind the Molson Canadian "I am Canadian" campaign from my understanding.

have a fun trip

Perhaps hackers heard about John's Toronto trip, got real envious and plotted to create havoc...nah! :wink:

After missing Darren's meet up this week, it would be great to have another. If your planning one count me in as well.

Toronto represent! Probably one of the greatest cities ever. Make sure you go to Bay Street to see the financial district, hit up the Hockey Hall of Fame, and get a hot dog out front of union station.

heres proof that johns site was hacked http://www.leochiang.com/new-airbus-a380/

He should come to long island the home of the big duck :P

John, you're so close to me in Buffalo. If you are looking for some good HIGHLY FATTENING food, you're more than welcome to make the short trip down here! The home of the "Chicken Wing" has to rank right up there!

You sure do eat a lot

John

Give me a shout when you visit Toronto, would love to meet up! I have been to Susur and to Lee, both restaurants run by world renowned chef Susur Lee.

I think you will love Susur... its more expensive then Lee. However, the food (especially the desserts) are to die for!

There are a few other restaurants you should check out... for more check toronto.com

Have fun John! Take lots of pretty food pics :razz:

Good to see your site back up. Maybe the extra publicity of being hacked will more than cover any lost revenue from downtime.

Have a good holiday :smile:

John got hacked because of a hole on one of the other sites hosted by his server.

Keep that software up to date people!

enjoy your trip, John. Don't get fat when you come back.

was your site hacked yesterday john?

have fun on your trip

Hey John, I wouldn't mind meeting up and chatting about making money online... email me and we'll set something up I live downtown

have fun!!!, post photos

Has it occured to anyone that this might have been a linkbait tactic? I know... Its a longshot, but the same guy nailed Shoemoney's blog through a forum vulnerability. I wonder how many back links were generated by people reporting the outage. I know I dropped one on my blog. If this was intentional John, bravo!

Who is Toronto?

Hey John, hope you have fun in Toronto. If you're going to plan a Toronto dot com Pho meet count me in!

Montreal's hit and miss with English. People who speak it are accommodating, people who don't are... less accommodating.

Quebec city was great. People have less of a grasp on English but are far more willing to meet you halfway. I found it to be a much friendlier place than Montreal.

Also, please note that Toronto and Montreal are NOT the "Eastern side of Canada" :roll: They are central Canada. You'll have to put in a lot more hours on the road to reach the East. If you ever make your way down this way, you can crash at my place :grin:

Sorry about waking you up this morning John but I figured is was a phone call you would want to receive.

Some of us were wondering how bad you got hit after you did not come back up after being down for 6+ hours!

maybe it's not even john...maybe it's the hacker and he is fooling us all...notice he said nothing about the attempted hack!.... :twisted:

in case you guys didn't notice stephenfung was also hacked his site came up at the same time johns did, coincidence, no. the simple answer johns server was hacked.

If you travel about 25 minutes north of Toronto. Then definately check out The Octagon Restaurant. I even have the info for you here:

7529 Yonge St.
Toronto, Ontario
905-889-8989

Fine dining - Great steaks and prawns the size of your head

I went to Toronto a few weeks ago. It was my first trip to Canada and I was impressed. The people were super nice. It was a breath of fresh air compared to St. Louis.

I get to go to Vancouver in a month or so. I'm pretty excited to see the other side of Canada.

how did you get hacked! visit my site to see how famous johns hacker was.

Have fun in Toronto & Montreal. Over 10 years now since I've been to either :sad:

I need your help! I'm going to attempt to set a Guinness World Record and I need as much help promoting as possible.

The record I'm going to try and set is the longest blog comment string ever. For more details you can see the post here: World Record Attempt

Hey John, why don't you continue farther east and visit the Maritimes, beautiful scenery and some of the best people in the country. Enjoy your trip in TO.

Have a good trip John. Mitch and I will try to hold down the fort.
