    1) Introduction

    Often, when you build a website, you want columns.

    Common designs include

  • AddThis weird behaviors

    I just switched my websites from one server to another and noticed that on my main company site (http://www.m2osw.com) I would get a # at the end of the URL. Automatically added somehow. Thinking that could be a bad guy I checked the code and could not really see anything.

    Hitting "Back" once, I noticed that the # would be transformed to #atssh-digg. I don't have anything specific about digg on that page except the AddThis button. That adds Digg among some 150 different systems where you can share my pages.

  • Apache and weird errors

    Error about a local certificate?!

    The other day, I got a new certificate from godaddy.com. I installed the certificate by replacing the files and simply restarting Apache. I then checked in Sea Monkey and it worked great. Checking the certificate it told me "valid for another 3 years."

  • Auto-Vacuum not working? (and solution)

    Since I manage multiple computers and each run a PostgreSQL database system, I can see discrepancies between versions. (i.e. newer versions fix problems in older versions.)

    1) CVS

    Back to summary

    1.1) Read-only CVS

    Back to summary

    The CVS tool uses a URL to connect to a server and retrieve files. If you used the default "cvs co" as defined on a site, then it is more than likely that it will create a read-only set of folders.

    CVS creates a folder named CVS (all in caps, important under Unix!) That folder includes the necessary information for CVS to connect to the repository and read/write data. One of the files defined in this folder is called Root. This is where the URL is saved.

    The CVS URL is composed of several parts:

  • C++ automatic optimizations

    Once in a while I check how the compilers are behaving in such and such situations to make sure that when I wrote code it gets properly optimized. Today I was surprised as I tried to put a break point of a variable and it looked like the compiler wasn't using it. Indeed, the optimizer 100% removed the variable from the final code. Quite interesting since trying to reverse engineer this assembly language would probably end up using a goto statement... (ouch!)

    The code goes more or less like this:

  • Changing the Width or Height affects the other

    1) Problem

    Back to summary

    I had a problem with my CuteMenu1 module and tried many times to fix it but just could not find the problem with Internet Explorer.

    The fact is that I created dropdowns that are supposed to be full width, but that did not work, somehow.

    I wanted each item to have a pre-defined height. So in the style for my DIV I wrote this:

    1. 1. This is a Drupal module. You happen to have Drupal? Download CuteMenu now then!

  • CSV format

    A quick CSV (Comma Separated Values) reference:

    1) 1) Row separator

    Back to summary
      \n   \r\n

    In order to separate lines, use a newline character sequence.

    Most loaders probably support the \r sequence too. (Especially on MacOS/X)

  • Drupal & the No Error Reported

    Let's start with my rant!

    I like Drupal, in general. But like most PHP code bases, if an "error" (mistake) occurs, nothing is reported.

    I spent hours trying to make one of my menu work (Note that the "menu" module is also called the "links" module.) It just did not want to go. In order to have the nice breadcrumb and other such features, you need to have menus with sub-sub-menus...

  • .dylib extension missing

    The other day, I created the odbcpp library. When I tried to build it on my Mac OS/X 10.4 (Tiger) I got a problem with the dynamic libraries. Instead of a .dylib extension, I got... nothing at all! (this problem was also reported on 10.5) I was sure that it worked for me with other libraries I developed (such as my sswf library) and thus I decided that I was not going to be left alone. Well...
