Host window
by Bob Cowdery 20 Jun '06

20 Jun '06

Is it possible to have any control over the host window apart from making it full screen. Can the title and icon be changed for example assuming that would be allowed. I notice on Suse I could hide the window but then mouse control is lost. I don't see this option on Windows or Ubuntu. Thanks Bob

Interesting problem
by Bruno Luca 20 Jun '06

20 Jun '06

(first sorry for my poor English) Hello, i'm trying to solve problems with GObject signals but everytime i get something not working as well. Actually, i have a threaded gtk main loop. Since callbacks have return values, and also because i have to wait before the squeak side callback finish its work, i wait with something like a lock: while (callback->locked != 0); Now, Squeak process and the main loop are two different OS level threads. When a callback is called it's registered into a queue and a semaphore is signaled, Squeak then checks for callbacks and run them. In the while, the C callback idles until callback->locked is 1. This works as well when the signal is dispatched from the main loop thread, when it's dispatched from Squeak it blocks everything. What's the best way to handle this kind of problem? I tried to look at wxSqueak but i really didn't realize how they solved this problem. Hoping for a reply, thanks you all. -- www.lethalman.net - Thoughts about internet technologies

World Cup 2006 Betting is up! (written in Squeak)
by goran＠krampe.se 20 Jun '06

20 Jun '06

Hi folks! Ok, this is turning into a tradition - it was first up in World Cup 2002, then the Euro Cup 2004, and now it is 2006 and the site was just brought live this morning on my private server: http://worldcup.krampe.se/eng I hope it works correctly, and I (together with Jonas Öhrn) will try to help out if anyone has trouble. Email me in private. ;) And yes, I will post the code somewhere in a day or two (gotta extract it from the 3.2 image it lives in) - but it will come without a manual :) regards, Göran PS. And no, no prizes to win, only the enjoyment of betting better than the rest of us... and oh, Sweden will ROCK this year. :)

Monticello change log history?
by Peace Jerome 20 Jun '06

20 Jun '06

Hi Andreas, Avi, and Colin; This discussion (at least half of it refering to the comment log) seems relevant to a mantis issue I posted recently. http://bugs.impara.de/view.php?id=3783 Summary 0003783: [RFE] MC needs to encourgage the accumulation of the complete change log in the most recent versions The user story that goes it: Open a repository browser. Select a package. Select a version of the package. See a complete history of the version (not just the last incremental change.) My original suggestion was to encourage the coder by prompting him with the changes to date instead of a essentially blank prompt. Then the information accumulates naturally in the comment. If as you hinted the history "tree" is stored in each version, then what I want is to see the lineage of changes rendered into the information pane not just the delta for this version. Please remember that you (Colin and Avi) know TOO much about how MC does things. Those of us who have to learn it from the outside have to pick up what's going on from clues. Right now the info pane only shows one delta of version change. When you click history you get a list of versions. You have to click each version to get the delta of change that it provides into the next browser pane. This has caused me to build up a mental model of what is going on that concludes only the delta of change information is stored in each version. I believe Andreas came to the same conclusions. Plus, All that clicking is a PAIN. If we weren't smarter and lazier than other programmers there would be no reason to use smalltalk, sqeuak and tweak. Make MC smarter. Let the computer do the work. Let us program as brilliantly as possible as easily as possible. Stef has been trying to talk me into learning to use MC to save him time harvesting. This problem is on my list of show stoppers. Yours in service, --Jerome Peace __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Traits browser
by danil osipchuk 20 Jun '06

20 Jun '06

Hi, all Which browser one should use with traits implementation found in current 3.9beta? Default tools in 3.9 don't look as handy as those described in white-papers (in this one for example: http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~schaerli/smalltalk/traits/traitsPrototype.htm ). May be there are some preferences to enable or package for download? Best regards, Danil

Re: Craig Latta available for work
by Ed Boyce 19 Jun '06

19 Jun '06

Hi Craig. In response to your post, I thought I should let you know that I am organizing a bounty for a port of Squeak/Croquet to the Haiku operating system. You'll recall that we spoke about Haiku OS as the successor te BeOS in terms of its ultra low latency, fine grained multithreading capabilities during that cab ride at C5. These capabilities should make it be a great, lightweight OS base for Squeak and Croquet. The bounty (seeded with $1000 from me with some extra donations by others expected) is being arranged through www.haikubounties.org and will be posted this week. However, if you really were keen on the project, I would give you first dibs on the fund since I know you have the right kind of uber bit flinging experience to do it well. Of course the work would be worth more than the modest bounty itself, but the work will contribute significantly to the communiny, and the is to be released under the Croquet license. The port work is probably doable over a few weeks with an initial working port possible within a week; it has been done in a weekend for other Unix like platforms, and Ian P. has offered to help with Unix-like build issues). See www.haiku-os.org http://haikunews.org/1203 Let me know if this intrigues you enough to want further info. Best Regards, Ed Boyce
