Re: [Webteam] squeak zip-freezes

Staffan, I don't know the problem, but you could ask on the squeak-dev or beginners mailing list. This might be a universal problem so I will copy the squeak-dev mailing list to see if anyone has an answer (if anyone has an answer for Staffan, could you also copy him directly) A similar question was raised on the beginner's mailing list so you're not alone. Here's the conversation with a possible work-around: ================================ I don't have any Vista experience, but here's a shot in the dark, courtesy of google: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/prevent-explorer-from-freezing… Or, if you have had good past experience with .zip files using Winzip+Vista, maybe try downloading a different version of squeak from http://ftp.squeak.org, like 3.9 perhaps, and see if it unzips correctly. ----- Original Message ---- From: globalrev <skanemupp(a)yahoo.se> To: beginners(a)lists.squeakfoundation.org Sent: Wednesday, April 23, 2008 1:52:23 PM Subject: [Newbies] Squeak-extract zip freezes Vista? i am trying to install Squeak, downloaded it from : http://www.squeak.org/ when trying to unzip winzip stops responding and i have to close it. why is this? what can i do insetad? ============================ On Wed, Apr 23, 2008 at 10:02 AM, Ragga Dajj <skanemupp(a)yahoo.se> wrote: > hi > > i downloaded the squeak-zip to windows vista and when i try to unzip it > itjust freezes. > > what could be the problem? > > staffan > > > ________________________________ > Går det långsamt?

[ANN] Seaside Book - "An Introduction to Seaside"
by Michael Perscheid 23 Apr '08

23 Apr '08

Dear all, We would like to announce that we have published the Seaside book "An Introduction to Seaside" today. Mainly the book consists of an improved version of our online tutorial. Book description "This book explains the major concepts of Seaside in a clear and intuitive style. A working example of a ToDo List application is developed to illustrate the framework's important concepts that build upon each other in an orderly progression. Besides the notions of users, tasks, components, forms and deployment, additional topics such as persistence, Ajax and Magritte are also discussed." For more information look at Lulu: http://www.lulu.com/content/2234565 or at our online tutorial: http://www.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/swa/seaside/tutorial Furthermore we have improved the online Seaside tutorial with an overworked version of all chapters (especially chapter 6) and a new chapter about the internal details of the web framework called "The fine print". Thanks to everyone who provided feedback and suggestions for improvement! Michael Perscheid on behalf of the HPI Software Architecture Group

Hi, New user here... I am trying to install Squeak on Mandriva. I have downloaded http://ftp.squeak.org/3.9/unix-linux/Squeak-3.9-8.i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz When I try to install I get: [root@c2d Squeak-3.9-8]# ./INSTALL Your architecture appears to be: x86_64-linux-gnu. No binaries/libraries found for x86_64-linux-gnu. You might have tell INSTALL whch cpu-vendor-os to use. What is the syntax to install 32 bit i386 or 686 squeak?

Re: [Newbies] I am a total beginner with some questions
by Marcus Strehlow 19 Apr '08

Hi there, As mentioned before, your class would have to inherit the method handleKeytroke:, keyStroke: and keyDown: inside which you then decide what should be done. However, in order to find out which key has been pressed, you will have to find out the corresponding ASCII code, and then check if the pressed ASCII code is the same as the one you want to monitor. x := Sensor keyboardPeek asciiValue. (x == 99) "99 is the ascii value for the letter c" ifTrue: [Transcript show: 'letter c was pressed'; cr]. If this is implemented in the keyDown: method, everytime the c key is pressed, the Transcript should show the text specified. You can find the ASCII values for each key on www.asciitable.com . In the image on the page, the ASCII value is the one in the Dec column. Displaying an image is fairly easy, as long as Squeak supports the format. Current supported formats are GIF, JPG, PNG and BMP if I remember correctly. To use an image inside any morph or in the world, use this: x := ImageMorph new. x image: (Form fromFileNamed: 'path/to/your/image.jpg'). x openInWorld. This will load the specified file, create the necessary form, and is then opened in your current world. I hope this helps a bit, Marcus > Message: 1 > Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2008 14:44:32 -0700 (PDT) > From: kennellgr <cboneg5(a)gmail.com> > Subject: [Newbies] I am a total beginner with some questions > To: beginners(a)lists.squeakfoundation.org > Message-ID: <16540965.post(a)talk.nabble.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > I really like programming (I've done some in C) and I decided I wanted to try > doing some programming on my Mac.

NewCompiler crashes Squeak
by squeak414＠free.fr 17 Apr '08

17 Apr '08

Hi, I am running the April web development image sq3.10-7159web08.04.1 on Ubuntu. Following this sample from: http://www.nabble.com/problems-with-scoping-td6963420.html#a6963581 arr := Array withAll: #(1 2 3 4 5 ). blocks := arr collect: [ :i | [Transcript show: i] ]. blocks do:[:item | item value]. running in a workspace I get the return 55555. arr := Array withAll: #(1 2 3 4 5 ). blocks := arr collect: [ :i | [Transcript show: i] fixTemps ]. blocks do:[:item | item value]. returns 12345. When I load AST and NewCompiler through SqueakMap, and enable the options compileUseNewCompiler and compileBlocksAsClosures and repeat arr := Array withAll: #(1 2 3 4 5 ). blocks := arr collect: [ :i | [Transcript show: i] ]. blocks do:[:item | item value]. Squeak crashes. Am I doing something obviously wrong? ...Stan

back and forth
by David H. Shanabrook 14 Apr '08

Trying to get and object to move back and forth in etoys. Something simple like: forward 50 forward -50 It appears to do nothing. When I go to the code level and add a wait: forward 50 (Delay forSeconds: 1) wait forward -50 (Delay forSeconds: 1) wait. Still nothing. Any ideas what I am doing terribly wrong? -david-

strange scroll window under squeak

I am using squeak in a school on Windows XP systems. One week all the students squeak screens showed up with a separate window beneath the squeak window. I can't figure out how to remove it, full screen does nothing to help. I think we are using 3.9 david

Web services
by Steve Lloyd 14 Apr '08

14 Apr '08

I'd like to access some RESTful web services from Squeak (I'm running the Seaside-2.8-530 image http://www.seaside.st/resources/distributions/Seaside-2.8-final.zip). What would people's advice be as to the best starting point - should I roll something from scratch with the classes in Network-Protocols or is there a more obvious way. I investigated CurlPlugin, but got scared (!) by the dependencies and thoughts about cross-platform incompatibilities (I'm running on OSX and Ubuntu). Thanks Steve
