Have you written innovative Smalltalk? The developers of any Smalltalk-based software can enter by submitting a 3-5min video of their software. Entrants demo their systems in a session at the end of Monday September 9th 2013, after which the conference attendees vote. (A vote consists in providing a sorted list of 3 preferred pieces of software.) The top 3 teams with the most innovative software will receive, respectively, 500 Euros, 300 Euros and 200 Euros. The results are announced in the Awards ceremony that is held during the social event. Applicants should provide the following information on the conference registration server. Once you have registered your personal info, an 'Awards' menu allows submitting your software. You can provide this information when you first register, or login again later and update your details. Info to provide: Name of the software Licence information (free, shareware, or commercial) Name of the Smalltalk dialect used Name, Affiliation and Country of developers Besides, it would be great if the submission could include: URL for a video (3-5 min) showing a screencast / demo of the software URL for downloading the software or at least a runnable demo Deadline: September 7th Any Smalltalker can apply (students, companies, ...). The presented piece of code/software should be written in Smalltalk or directly support Smalltalk (e.g. Smalltalk VM). All Smalltalk dialects are accepted. The applicant should be "strongly related" to the presented code, be it as an author, as owner of the copyright/copyleft, or as an official representative of the copyright/copyleft owner. Bests, Jordi

FileStream size limitation?
by Squeak List 02 Sep '13

02 Sep '13

Hello, I have an OrderedCollection with 24,576 elements. A bunch of musical notes basically: each of the 24,576 elements is like: #('eo6' 0.25 500) for example. Goal: I would like to turn that *entire* OrderedCollection into a single MIDI file. However, there seems to be some sort of size limitation that I do not see how to get around. 1) Even before getting to the MIDI part, I tried: FileStream fileNamed: '1-24576.rtf' do: [:stream | stream nextPutAll: ((oc copyFrom: 1 to:24576) asString)]. which creates a nice file of 48.8KB size. And opening the file, it ends with: #('c#o6' 0.25 500) #('d...etc... which is not what I expected. 2) If I do: FileStream fileNamed: '1-2729.rtf' do: [:stream | stream nextPutAll: ((oc copyFrom: 1 to:2729) asString)]. it works fine: ending tidily with the expected: #('c#o6' 0.25 500)) 3) But, FileStream fileNamed: '1-2730.rtf' do: [:stream | stream nextPutAll: ((oc copyFrom: 1 to:2730) asString)]. is where this starts: #('c#o6' 0.25 500) #('d...etc... This exact same problem happens when making MIDI files: there seems to be a size limitation around 48.8KB. Aside from MIDI, is FileStream just the wrong class to use for anything larger than creating a 48.8kb text file (.txt or .rtf)? Or how can I get around this restriction? Any suggestions are most welcome.

Fwd: Re: Stripe for Squeak

Hi Timothy, I forwarded this email chain to the Squeak dev list because there may be other people who are interested in helping. I'm interested, but won't have time to do anything until next weekend. Let me know if you have questions here through the list Thanks Paul -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: Stripe for Squeak Date: Sun, 01 Sep 2013 09:46:04 -0700 From: gettimothy <gettimothy(a)zoho.com> To: Paul DeBruicker <pdebruic(a)gmail.com> Hi Paul. Thank you for your reply. I will give it a look and see what I can do with the Webclient (I am unfamiliar with it). If you are not doing the work, I need to learn the Stripe API for my freelance work and will be happy to (time providing) to implement the new api if you wish. I just don't want to step on anybody's toes. Thanks again. t. ---- On Sun, 01 Sep 2013 08:11:09 -0700 *Paul DeBruicker<pdebruic(a)gmail.com>* wrote ---- Hi Timmy, The latest version is on smalltalkhub and I think the only thing you'll have to do is use Webclient instead of Zinc. Also it is for an outdated version of the Stripe API. I think it should be brought up to the correct version and the Metacello version numbering scheme should be matched to Stripe's versioning numbering scheme. Let me know if you have any questions Good luck Paul On Sep 1, 2013, at 7:22 AM, gettimothy <gettimothy(a)zoho.com <mailto:gettimothy@zoho.com>> wrote: > Good Morning. > > > I am interested in porting your http://www.squeaksource.com/Stripe > work for use with Seaside 3.0 on Squeak 4.5. > > > I have just started reverse engineering your work and if you have > any pointers/suggestions I would appreciate it. > > thx. > > t. murray > (timmy on squeakhub) > > > >

I've been ripping out #assert: calls in the tests and replacing them with #assert:equals: mainly because #assert:equals: produces a much nicer error message: looking at the failing test on CI will tell you how the assert failed, not just that it failed. frank

Best place to put MCZ files?
by Casey Ransberger 01 Sep '13

01 Sep '13

I noticed that there was a thread about hosting a copy of squeaksource.com. Are we thinking we're going to reopen that or are we only keeping it for posterity? Is the best place to host (external) MC packages that target Squeak-proper presently http://ss3.gemstone.com/ ? Should I just stick my .mcz files on a github account? Curious about where we're at on this.
