Intereactive Web Design - Sugar Land, TX

There’s a ton of buzz around the iPad these days and how when using it, it feels like “the future is now.” Not to leave it’s little brother in the dark, I had one of those moments this morning on the iPhone.

I’ve been working on server upgrades and moves the past few weeks and was having an issue last night with one of them. I woke up today and was on my way to work when the epiphany hit me… I needed to change the configuration of ImageMagick but didn’t have my coding laptop with me. Being Monday our client needed this site working ASAP so I pulled over fired up the TouchTerm iPhone app that I downloaded a few months ago and SSH’d in.

As I was recompiling the software FROM MY PHONE and the server responses were flying by on the screen OF MY PHONE, I felt what all designers and UI geeks prob feel while using the iPad… that I was in the future. The interface is dead simple and even gives you options to save some of your connections for fast reconnection. It is complete with arrow key, function key, and control key overlays to make quick recall and editing of commands easy. I’m sure there are nights when I will still have eyeburn from of the radiant glow of my CRT at 2:00am reflecting lines and lines of server code, but for quick on the fly Apache restarts, server status, etc… This app is worth the download and even purchase of the Pro version.
