TDIST.com launches

// October 12th, 2009 // No Comments » // Web Development

I’m really pleased to announce the rebrand of TDIST and the launch of their new website.

As a business, TDIST has been re-energised and refocused on logistics and distribution within the information technology sector; it was vital that the new brand and website reflect this – all in a very tight schedule! I had to design a new logo, new site layout and have it ready to go within a matter of weeks, to coincide with TDIST’s appearance at the VMware Expo ’09 in London’s Earl Court.

WordPress is my new favourite CMS application and TDIST’s site is built on it, allowing the TDIST team to maintain complete control over their own content.

Go have a look!

emailCloak 1.0: a simple jQuery plug-in

// October 11th, 2009 // No Comments » // JavaScript, Web Development

Something that comes up time and time again in my development is how to protect email addresses on websites from spam email harvesters. To solve it, I wrote a simple jQuery plug-in which takes a specifically formatted string and turns it into an email on the fly. I’ve found it terribly handy and hopefully, you might find it useful too!

Usage is really simple, just referene the script (in the ZIP file) and include this bit of code at the bottom of your page:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#id-of-element').uncloak({
        atSeparator: '[at]', (default)
        dotSeparator: '||', (default)
        altText: 'Contact this company'
    });
});

And it’s expecting the element to conaint a string in the format of:

user [at] example.com

It’s unlicensed so feel free to do with it what you please.
