Newly Subsidized!

Our goal at Microtronix is to keep improving on past things to make your experience as a customer even better! Our latest improvement is we have subsidized our company.  Having 10+ years in business we have grown beyond our current size, finally.  We decided it would be better for you, the customer, and us to subsidize our company to smaller versions for each thing.

In doing this we have started by separating our hosting division and web programming/design division into two equal size companies, both owned by Microtronix ESolutions.

By separating Microtronix Web Services from Microtronix Hosting we are able to give you the client better service in each.  Both companies are now operated separately this gives you a full staff of hosting personal that their only Job is to better server your hosting needs.

Please visit our new sister company at: http://www.microthosting.com

Microtronix Web services is still alive and thriving working on web projects constantly to better your web pages and cloud computing services.  You can still visit our web services company at: http://www.microtronix-tech.com

Thank you for your continued support and interest in Microtronix ESolutions and all our companies and services.

FastCat VM v1

After much adue about a lot of things, nice twist right?  We have finally launched our latest software package for the Joomla! community!  It's called FastCat VM, and it does something amazing!!

If you have ever used the component virtuemart for your Joomla! install then you know how much of a pain it is to have to load 50 to 100 products into a store manually.  Well we know the pain, having to reload every page one by one and it takes forever.  Not to mention the bandwidth on a brand new site it uses.  What a waste!

So knowing this problem Microtronix has come up with a solution.  Since it seems that Joomla! and VM are a long way away from coming up with AJAX in their systems, we did 'em one better!  We have created a windows application to add products on the fly to a VirtueMart installation!  No more loading web pages and using bandwidth.  This little gem communicates directly with your MySQL server DB and adds everything this way.

What a great way to add products and categories to VirtueMart quickly, efficiently and with great ease!

You can download your own copy today by going to our site here.

Chrome for Linux

Ok so I have to say this is new to me! I knew that there was a Chromium project that I think emulated windows Chrome on Linux. But since I installed my new UBU 10 I found and downloaded Chrome for Linux! Now I know this might not be brand new, but it's new to me. Last time I checked was back in January for one.

Now my personal opinion of this Chrome for Linux..........Good job GOOGLE! I love it, just as fast as it's supposed to be. So for now I am hooked on Chrome for Linux. And I will continue to use it till something faster and better comes along. Way to go Google.

New Ubuntu

Ok so I have been a linux fanatic since I was 10 years old!! Go figure, I started with FreeBSD, which even though this is not linux it's based on the predecessor to linux, the god of all OSes, *nix.

So after not booting up my Ubuntu 9.04 partition for around 4 months, I had some work to do on it, so I launched right. Well I did my work then had nothing better to do yesterday, so I did some much needed system updates. Well long story short, I botched up my install and ruined my Linux partition.

So I spent a little while deciding if I wanted to repair or just copy out my home dir and re-install. Ahhh what the hey, I re-installed. So before I did that I downloaded a copy of the new Ubuntu 10! Man what an improvement!

I am now posting this morning from my new Ubuntu 10 OS! Love this thing, glad I did this than to repair and then do the network updates, would have taken forever.

This new version of Ubuntu, if anyone is wondering, has Google's new netbook technology where it's instant on!! I mean from when I select this OS under grub2, I see one line of text, then boom, for 2 seconds it's on the boot screen and then it's in. And that boot screen, is inside xwindows, it's not from the loader system anymore. So Ubuntu 10 now has instant on technology. I love it.

So I personally recommend this system to anyone out there! Plus for gamer since Steam technology is soon to release it's linux version, we linux people can run all those games we've ever wanted without having to install Crossover!! So go for it!

New windows app for Joomla! templating!

Microtronix is proud to announce we have launched a new template application for Joomla! 1.5! This new application allows any template designer to create the XML file for his template, which is the Joomla! installer file, on the fly! On the fly meaning real fast! Why go through the hassle of making an XML file by hand, and including all your template files and everything by hand, which takes awhile, when the program does it all for you!

You just enter the author info and the template name. Enter a description and then select the directory with the template files then hit done! It's that simple!

VirtueMart Vendors Module for Joomla! 1.5

After so long of the VM community saying it couldn't be done, well not on this version at least. We DID IT!! We have made Vendors work in VM 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 and above! With a small hack in the VM files it all works like clockwork!

Since the VM component doesn't support true Vendors, then you will have to install this module then edit two files in VM to make it work right. Readme file included with module.
