try.squeak.org is in need of some love
by tim Rowledge 13 Dec '16

13 Dec '16

There’s been an interesting thread on the RaspberryPi forums where I’ve been arguing the benefits of Smalltalk. I tried pointing people to try.squeak.org but it seems they had a lot of problems working out what was going on and what to do. It certainly isn’t the prettiest page I’ve seen and it really doesn’t sell itself well. I understand the urge to put the minisqueak image up as the first thing because it is so fast to get going, but it isn’t our best advert. Monochrome, no explanations, no guidance, nothing. Maybe if we made a version that introduced itself better and even provided a way to fire up some of the other examples it could actually replace almost the entire page content? I also got complaints that attempting to click on any of the other image URLs failed, though no details. They do all seem to work for me, but again , it would be much more attractive if the demo versions were better set up.I was going to point people to http://blackpagedigital.com/squeak/ as well but like phil reported it seems to be dead right now. I know it was working early yesterday because Craig pointed me to it! Can’t get anything out of snowglobe either :-( tim -- tim Rowledge; tim(a)rowledge.org; http://www.rowledge.org/tim Strange OpCodes: CCC: Crash if Carry Clear

managing the transition to 64-bit
by Chris Muller 13 Dec '16

13 Dec '16

I'm ready to make a push to migrate all my stuff to 64-bit, so this means I need the ability to run either a 32-bit VM or a 64-bit VM, at least for now. Unfortunately, it appears each uses the same the VM file directory structure, and so whichever one is installed last stomps out the other. Eliot, you have unique names for VM versions, have you considered inserting something to uniquefy the names to support co-existence of 32 and 64-bit of the same VM version? Or, does anyone have any best practices to allow the co-existence of 32-bit with 64-bit VM? I'm not talking about the problem with the names of the executables (scripts) all being "squeak". I've already been renaming the shell scripts from "squeak" to "cog" or "spur". Now the problem between 32 and 64-bit is the "lib" directory they refer to -- they share the exact same name. I still have a lot of 32-bit images around. Does anyone have any pointers on how best to manage both a 32-bit and 64-bit?

Everybody needs Squeak clothing, right? So get yours from https://shop.spreadshirt.com/Squeak We haven’t added anything to the base price so you’re getting everything as cheaply as they can provide it. tim -- tim Rowledge; tim(a)rowledge.org; http://www.rowledge.org/tim Useful random insult:- People around him are at risk of second hand idiocy.

Re: [squeak-dev] Morphs can be dropped on main docking bar
by Jakob Reschke 09 Dec '16

09 Dec '16

Even if the bar did not "explode", dropping a System Browser or another tool (SystemWindow) there might not be useful under any circumstances, but it can happen accidentally (with fastDragWindowForMorphic disabled) if you do not take care while moving them around. Since such tools cannot really be operated when shrinked to the docking bar size, maybe they should not be droppable into the bar at all. Unless you could park and simply drag them out again later, but then they would actually be represented by another morph while in the bar (or they should be collapsed). Maybe a Morph could decide for itself whether it wants to be droppable onto the docking bar. SystemWindows could straight out refuse, while by default Morphs could ask the user or refuse immediately if their height exceeds a certain limit, such as twice or thrice the docking bar height or 10% of the screen height. As per the previous paragraph, them refusing could also mean they will be wrapped up and stuffed compactly into the bar for later retrieval instead. Otherwise, it would be nice if the docking bar would at least return to its previous height after a large morph has been dragged out of it.
