For anyone that is using a WordPress Woothemes Template/Theme should be aware that they have recently released a Framework download to resolve a security vulnerability they have identified. Another reason to respect WordPress and those select companies that are releasing premium template themes. They are always on top of the ever present threats from hackers exploiting website vulnerabilities, and they take the initiative to resolve that threat for their clients.

If you are currently a client of Nerds On Site, and you aren’t sure if you have a WooThemes Theme installed on your site don’t hesitate to contact us by CLICKING HERE!

To resolve your Framework issues yourself if you have not already, or if you just want more information on the issues please CLICK HERE!

If you do decide to resolve the issues yourself, please remember to backup your current site before you do. At least backup the theme folder, but we recommend you do a full site backup both of the actual files through FTP, and the database. That way you can ensure your website has zero downtime, and upon and unforeseen issues with resolving the Framework fix, you can contact WooThemes for more information.

“Working with the Nerds on Site crew was an incredibly fluid and easy experience. The interactions back and forth were timely, respectful and so professional. This is my third website and definitely the best experience I have had so far. I loved how fast the turnaround was on this project. We are not talking months but weeks and days, how brilliant! The training for the site delivered by another Nerds On Site pro was also easy and so professional.

Thank you so much I love my site and have received wonderful feedback on it so far.”

I’m glad to be able to share some developments within the construction industry in the utilization of QR codes. Ivan Richardson, founder of one of our long-time clients, blackapple, asked about the feasibility facilitating an instant “Is this drawing up-to-date?” via a smartphone. His idea was to implement a QR code that anyone with a smartphone could scan and check if the drawing is current or out-dated.

To facilitate this, and to execute this in an automated way, a number of pieces of the puzzle need to fit together.

• Local Application – QR Code Generator specific to each drawing – this runs on blackapple’s network at the time of the print job preparation
• Web Service – this works in conjunction with the local application and is the “authoritative” source for up-to-date information about each drawing
• Prints with QR codes – this is the only part that is visible to the contractor on site, but an essential element to be have increased confidence that the print is current

Obviously the information is only as good as it is kept up-to-date, and this means that when a new drawing is issued, this data needs to reflect the change. Here’s a real-life example of how it works. First, scan with any smartphone that has a QR Code reader installed:

Your smartphone will then immediately check on the validity of the print just scanned and provide you with necessary contact info to obtain an up-to-date copy:

At time of writing, Ivan Richardson is testing this for feedback and process honing purposes, and we are thankful that he chose Nerds On Site to deliver this productivity-enhancing technology.
