September Message

By Message From Deb

Hi folks! Thanks for taking the time to read! This summer has been a summer of change… we moved into our new digs on Los Molinos in August, and it sure was an eye opener! We had really poor interenet for the first two weeks and so learned how to tether our phones to our computers in order to get service. I don’t recommend it for the long haul, but it sure helped us out in a pinch! We put a little “how-to” in our tech review, so check it out if you are ever in need of getting online and there’s no wi-fi available.

We launched a few sites: The Cellar Cheese Shop and FCAR, and put in a cool slideshow for Drew Brophy’s store.

In the next few months you’ll notice a few changes to our newsletters – both Claire and Cindy will be putting their own spin on the main message. We want to make sure we showcase all of our team members as every project we do is a team effort. Gotta say, I love ’em!

Don’t forget to follow us on Facebook and Twitter so you get to know us here at SCWD!

Tethering your phone for Internet Access

By Tech Review

In August we moved our office to a cool little funky area of town known as the Surf Ghetto. With the move, we had access to a shared internet connection, but it was just not powerful enough for us to do our web work. So with a bit of investigating, we learned how to tether our smart phones with our computers using both an Android and an iPhone.

With the iPhone, we just had to call our carrier and set up a hotspot. After that, the computer picked up the wireless connection and we were good to go. Easy peasy!

As for the Android, there was a bit more configuring to do. We had to install PdaNet on the computer we were using, plus download the app to the phone, then connect using the USB connection.

All in all, it was good for a temporary fix, but I gotta warn you, even though you could make phone calls while on the iPhone, it was an either-or for the Android. Gotta love technology!

July Message

By Message From Deb

Greetings from San Clemente! It’s been a fun summer and even more fun stuff is coming up! Have you been to the new Aquatic Center? My boys love those slides! The weather has been great, and I love the longer days.

In just a few short weeks, the Doheny Surf Festival will be here (Aug 11& 12). You can go for free to see tandem surf demos, kids exhibitions and the vendor village, and if you’re looking for a little fun music, a bunch of bands will be playing all day. If you get your tickets from July 24 through August 7th, I’ve got the inside scoop that the tickets will be even further discounted.

I work with a lot of creative-types and San Clemente Website Design by far is one of the top pros. They're quick, really listen to your needs and deliver with detail accordingly, always reliable and always so kind and professional. They know their stuff. I love working with them and have already referred three companies to SCWD!

On the top of her list was photography.
