On the Road

Daniel — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 15:00:09 +0000

Over the next few weeks I will be in and out of the office for a couple family vacations and some on location client projects. My good friend and collaborator Jamie Orillion did a blog post a few months back about running your business from your phone. I thought it could be helpful to do a post with some details about how I do work on the road.

You can also check out a video below about what I generally carrying my laptop bag when I am out of the office.

iPhone/iPad Apps

To be completely honest, between my iPhone and my iPad my laptop has almost become a waste to bring on the road. I can do just about everything I need to do from my iPad or iPhone. I can do billing, estimates, edit HTML files, markup and comment on PDFs, and of course the standard smartphone stuff like email, calendar, and contacts. It is amazing now with 3G internet access just about everywhere, I am never to far from internet access, so much of what I need to be “in the office” for is irrelevant now. Below are a list of a few iOS apps that have been lifesavers and are key to me working on the road.

New Video Training Series

Daniel — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 14:26:51 +0000

As we noted last week with the launch of WordPress there are a few simple little interface tweaks that make it lighter and faster.

We are now offering with all new projects free 30 day access to our extensive video training series (see screenshot below). The video library is kept updated automatically when versions or features change. We also include special video tutorials for site specific features or plugins. As an added bonus we include a written manual for the non-visual learners out there. If you are interested please send us an email and we will be happy to add the feature on to your site for a free trial period. As always with every website project we still provide our personal and in-depth training before site launch.

Thanks,
Daniel Kedinger, Owner/Lead Geek

R.I.S.E 2008

R.I.S.E. is a week long youth mission trip in South Louisiana with a specific focus on finding God in and around the work we do as well as the people you meet. It was a great week and the video was shot for promotional purposes as well as a keepsake for the youth attending.
