Web Biz iPhone Apps

by Frank Deardurff III

photoSeveral people have asked what applications I have installed on my iPhone, well that would be a long list so I though I would focus on a couple that I use for my web businesses.

To Keep track of time on projects I use an application called “TimeLogger” really cool and easy to use. Allows me to send time reports back to the office. The next one would be “Things” that helps keep track of project lists. For notes and quick todo’s I’ve been using “Evernote” seems really easy to use and syncs with my desktop and my account on their website. Although I still like the interface of “One Note” on my desktop since it doesn’t sync anywhere it is quickly being replaced.

A must have app is the “wordpress” App that let’s me make posts to any of blogs that I have configured in the app.

For tracking stats I use the “Analytics” app which checks all my Google Analytics accounts. I also use the Google App for utilizing the Goolge services. Since I have a web hosting company (ThatOneHosting thanks for asking) I use the “pTerm” application to “shell” into the servers terminal interface to reboot or restart services and things like that.

A pretty slick app I found recently is “FTPOnTheGo” this app will allow you to connect via FTP to your website download a page make changes and then reupload. Really handy if a we quick change is needed.

I us an app called “WinAdmin” to remote into my home desktop in case I need to use an application that I don’t have access to on my iPhone.

I’ve recently been trying an app called “Photofx” to make minor modifications to images on my phone comes in handy if I’m wanting to make a quick post some where with a pic I’ve taken with the iPhone camera.

Of course as I’ve said I have tons of other applications installed like the different social media apps and games and readers and things. I’d be really interested to hear what iPhone Applications you are using to fulfill your business needs from your iPhone.

Feel free to leave a comment to let me know what your using or suggest one I should try out.

Staying Productive No Matter What

by Frank Deardurff III

progress-gearOver the past week I’ve ran into some unavoidable interruptions in my daily procedures.

Things where I had to be away from my PC and yes before I continue I did suffer from Discomgooglation which is symptoms when people are deprived of ability to get their Internet “fix.” Any way as I was saying  I was trying to brainstorm on ideas of how to make sure that I could still be productive or prepared for being “offline” in case of emergencies power outages and things such as that.

So what I’ve done this far is to make sure that I have my to do list up to date. I’ve been currently using the “Things” iPhone application recommended to me by Sylvie Fortin (thanks again Sylvie) this has been quite helpful. I’ve also been trying to keep all of my notes in Evernote which has an iPhone app that syncs with a web account and a desktop account so everything stays in order.

To keep track of time I’ve been utilizing an app called “TimeLogger” but that keeping track of time helps me stay productive as I see where I spend time or loose time and try to hold myself more accountable to track time.

As of this week I’ve been using Google docs more as well so that I can access any writing or info I need to from where ever. Unfortunately you cannot currently edit Google docs :( on the iPhone but I can write any updates in my Evernote and paste it over later.

Buy keeping key things digitally I can access it anywhere mostly from my iPhone when out. Also I’m going back to carrying at least an index card on me in case there is no power in the lifeline uh er iPhone.

One more application I’ve been using more of is DropBox comes in handy for keeping files synchronized over multiple locations.

Also I have a book on hand near buy in case I run out the door so that I’ll have some sort of learning with me in the case of waiting rooms or just down time.

I’m focusing on trying to simplify and prioritize this year and I’m curious to here what methods and systems you use to achieve this.

Problems Tracking Time?

by Frank Deardurff III

If you know me very well you’ll know I go a hundred directions at once at about 100 mph.
Of course I’m old enough to be before the “ADD” classifications back when I was in school but in talking with some of my friends I definitely fit the bill.

One of the biggest problems I have had is keeping track of what I’m doing I’ve tried many things and resources.

The one I’m trying right now seems to be pretty good I hope I can stick with it. it is the TimeLogger application from the Itunes App store. You can read about it by clicking here. That is not an affiliate link just a recommendation. What I like about this one is it runs on my iPhone and I can track time where ever I am and then send the info back to the office for invoicing. It has some really cool features.

WordPress from iphone

by Frank Deardurff III

It is now even easier to post to your blog! I am actually writing this post from my iPhone. I would have never thought I would be able to do as many things from one device.

The iPhone has allowed me not to have to drag out my laptop while on the road or at an airport.

I’m currently visiting my daughter down in Tennesse and keep up to date or find directions so fast and easy.

I’ll be making so more posts very soon about some new changes in wordpress.
