Pride Design (www.pridedesign.ie) has put the new Adare Bridal (www.adarebridal.ie) website live.  Once again we have been working closely with pride on the development of this site.  The site is built using drupal 6 and uses custom CCK types and drupal views to model (pun intended) and display all those fantastic designers and their bridal gowns!   […]

Problem Debugging ASP with VS2005 and IE8

I was making some mods to an old ASP .NET web app today when I discovered that I could no longer properly debug it – when I started the debugger, VS2005 would launch IE8 and load the app but would then just detach and exit debug mode!  I have been running IE8 for a few months now and figured that the problem […]

New Cully and Sully Website goes Live

On Friday our good buddies (and design partners) at Pride Design (www.pridedesign.ie) flipped the big switch and put the new Cully and Sully website live, www.cullyandsully.ie.  We have been working closely with pride on the C&S site revamp and are very happy with the outcome.  The site is built using drupal 6 and involved quite a bit […]

.NET Remoting Events & Multihomed Host

I was on-site with a client at a pharamacutical production facility last week and they they showed me a strange problem that they were having with .NET Remoting running on a sub-network configured with a multihomed host that sits on both the sub-net and the factory ethernet.   The sub-network consisted of 11 Machine Vision […]

Changing the ‘Home’ breadcrumb in Drupal 6

Here’s something I was googling last week – How do you change the text of Drupal’s ‘Home’ breadcrumb to something else? Well, it turns out that a small mod to your theme may be required…   While using Drupal 6 to develop a web application we ran into a little snag with Drupal’s breadcrumbs, the app is to […]

Editor Background – TinyMCE & Drupal 6

If you’re using the TinyMCE wsywig editor in drupal then you may find that the editor’s background color gets set to that of your website rather than being the more normal white-ish color – this can cause the wysiwyg editor look like the proverbial dog’s dinner and depending on your websites background color/image, can make […]

Auxiliary Display with Matrox Solios & Millenium P650

I ran into a problem while attempting to get an Auxiliary display to work on a Machine Vision system I was developing with a Matrox Solios Frame Grabber and a (dual head) Matrox Millenium P650 graphics card.  The plan was to have each vision station (in a Parmacutical AOI setup) output all of the images it acquired […]

Drupal – Debug Output not Displaying?

Have you ever noticed that sometimes no debug output whatsoever appears when you call a debug output function like dprint_r() from the PHP code that you’re working on?  For example, if you call one of the debug dump functions from the default argument handler for a block view (see earlier post) you won’t see a blessed […]

Matrox Mil & Firewire 1394 Image Acquisition

With newer versions of Matrox Mil (>= Mil 8 ) it is possible to grab images from firewire cameras without the need for any Matrox hardware, Mil will just use your PC’s normal Firewire/1394 adaptor(s) to acquire the images. When setup correctly you should be able to grab from either code or from intellicam.   […]
