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.

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.

I upgraded all PHP hosting accounts on the Innovarum server to the latest version of PHP (v5.2.11) over the weekend.
Things appeared to have gone smoothly at first, but we started getting reports of issues with our WordPress based applications today, when navigating to any page beginning with ‘index.php’ (all of them!). This issue has been tracked back to some new security measures that were added to the server and has now been resolved.

As some of you may recall, I blogged about the launch of a new stylish lounge bar down at the Shore, in Leith, Edinburgh. They’re part of growing breed of new high quality establishments starting to appear in this upcoming area of town and they’ve gone from strength to strength. As part of this, I’m very excited to announce the launch of their new website.
The site has been in development for a few months now, going through a number of iterations before we landed upon an excellent design. It’s been built on top of WordPress – my new favourite platform for delivering CMS-based sites – allowing the client to manage their own content moving forward. A great win for them that I’m hugely happy to deliver.

Hello one and all,
A quick note to let our Innovarum hostees know that we’ve upgraded PHP to v5.2.9.2 and is now making use of the Fast CGI module for IIS which should improve performance for any PHP based applications.

We recently helped Coeval Group relocate one of their client-facing web applications to its new home on a dedicated server managed by our colleagues at Innovarum.
Coeval have been providing innovative solutions to the traffic control and road safety industries since 1987 and from their development and manufacturing plant in Scotland they liaise with and provide solutions to many organisations both within the UK and worldwide.
The application is a bespoke PHP-based web application with a MySQL back-end and makes use of PEAR for its graphing and export functionality. There were two main challenges that, working with Innovarum, we overcame as part of the migration:
To finish the process we also took care of the DNS modifications required.
