OOPSLA 2006 BoF!
by goran＠krampe.se 04 Oct '06

04 Oct '06

Hi folks! Since I am attending OOPSLA :) I want to make sure we get a GREAT BOF this year! So I just edited the Swiki page on OOPSLA: http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/2390 ...and created the page for this years OOPSLA: http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/5864 So... when exactly do we hold it? I quote Dan: "I think we have a tradition of doing it just after supper (ie 7:30-ish) the night before the "social event", unless it conflicts with something else we like." AFAICT that would mean tuesday 7.30. The "special event" is on wednesday evening. And is there anyone willing to act as "conferencier" (or whatever it is called to present the speakers and then harass them so that they quit in time) for the BOF from the board? I could do it otherwise but will gladly accept help in finding a room and a projector etc. And finally of course - sign up on that page if you want to show us something cool! regards, Göran

Hi all-- For October, Squackers[1] will celebrate Squeak's tenth birthday at Dan Ingalls's place near Santa Cruz, CA, USA, on Saturday the seventh[2]. We'll start by hanging out at the beach in the afternoon, then head up to Dan's for a barbeque and further merriment (and we might be found on the Squeak IRC channel around 7pm GMT-7, see [3]). If you think you'll be able to make it, please let me know! And please forward this message to others you think might be interested. take care, -C [1] Squackers is a group of Squeak hackers in the San Francisco bay area who get together once a month to have a good time and show off what they're up to with Squeak (including learning it). [2] ...the October Saturday nearest the traditional birthday of 1 October, the date Dan announced Squeak to comp.lang.smalltalk (see http://tinyurl.com/gqdhv for the original message).

Is OSProcess usable in Squeak 3.9 on Windows/XP yet?
by Simon Guest 04 Oct '06

04 Oct '06

Hi, I'm trying to use OSProcess on Windows/XP with Squeak 3.9, and am now chaining back up the list of other things I need in place to do that. Apparently I need OSProcessPlugin (for new VM primitives to provide access to OS facilities not available in the base VM). To install OSProcessPlugin, I need VMMaker. Apparently VMMaker is not yet ready for Squeak 3.9 on Windows. Does this mean I need to go back to Squeak 3.8 for now? cheers, Simon

Squeak UI is freezing
by Cédrick Béler 03 Oct '06

03 Oct '06

Hi I'm using the 3.9 image, the developer version and I have the UI that freeze sometimes. Usually, when something like that appeared, I used <cmd> . to stop the process but here it's different. Whent the UI freeze, the cpu occupation is around 0% and <cmd> . just doesn't work ! Note, that when the UI is frozen but I can still use seaside applpication and sometimes I can get the hand back after playing with seaside or restarting a session. Does someone encounter the same problem ? I use 3.9g-7058 with most of the dev-packages I had this problem with linux (ubuntu), with vm 3.9-7 but also under windows. Do you think this is a problem is due to my image ? Thanks Cédrick

[IDEAS] Looking at Factor
by Giovanni Giorgi 03 Oct '06

03 Oct '06

Hi, surfing on the web I have found this new language: http://factorcode.org/ It is a stack-based language with a very flexible parser. It borrows idea from Self and it seems very promising to me. And it has the concept of image, ispector, debugger and so on... give it a try! -- Software Architect http://www.objectsroot.com/ Software is nothing

join
by Keith Hodges 02 Oct '06

02 Oct '06

Entirely against my will, I once worked in a perl shop, and I noticed that perlites liked joining things. Whenever I find myself wanting to join a bunch of items together (e.g. to make a path) I am never satisfied with the result and so I took a look at the Collections/String classes to see whether anything fitted nicely. I came up with SequencableCollection>>join: aCollection ^ self class streamContents: [ :stream | aCollection do: [ :each | stream nextPut: each ] separatedBy: [ stream nextPutAll: self ] ] and Character>>join: aCollectionOfStrings ^ self class streamContents: [ :stream | aCollectionOfStrings do: [ :each | stream nextPutAll: each ] separatedBy: [ stream nextPut: self ] ] and Collection>>joinWith: aCollection aCollection join: self ---- This now allows (Array with: 1 with: 2) join: (Array with: 3 with: 4 with: 5) $/ join: (Array with: 'Hello' with: 'my' with: 'World'). any thoughts? I am curious as to why #join: hasn't made it into the core image, and if it were to how would it happen? Keith ___________________________________________________________ The all-new Yahoo!

An 3.9 image for developers
by Damien Cassou 02 Oct '06

02 Oct '06

Hi, I'm creating a ready-to-use image for developers based on Squeak 3.9-7057. This image will be published in ftp.squeak.org. I would like to know what are the tools you use as a developer. The package ImageForDevelopers (available on SqueakMap and SqueakSource) will be used to configure everything. A Wiki has been set up and you can modify it: http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st/seaside/pier Developers responsible for one or more of this packages should tell me where is the best version for an integration or directly fill the wiki. Do you want other packages included ? Or preferences that should be set ? This is for you, please contribute -- Damien Cassou

[Q] [Q] StrikeFontSet display problem for separators in 3.8
by Sungjin Chun 02 Oct '06

02 Oct '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I've installed version 4 of AccuFont package and changed default font as accujen. The problem is that if I replace the StrikeFont with StrikeFontSet made with original font like this: accujenArray _ (TextConstants at: #Accujen) fontArray. a12 _ accujenArray at: 3. af12 _ StrikeFontSet newFontArray: {a12}. accujenArray at: 3 put: af12. then, the separator characters like tab, cr and others displayed as something like '?' glyph. If I revert it as StrikeFont then, it just displayed as normal invisible glyph. Can anyone know this problem? Can anyone help me? I'm using 3.8 Thank in advance. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFGIbPQqspS1+XJHgRArcUAJ0TIqBstYjAoWu2jKfr9DaRj7B1+ACfYomN BQRzFXxhIXHGUKbw3KRSqDE= =wCjc -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
