Setting up a squeak on a Ubuntu system
by Jerome Peace 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

I am old to squeak but new to unix systems. I have been able to install etoys successfully from the squeakland web site. And I have been able to download and unpack zip files for etoys-dev and squeak 3.10.2 from archives. The files are in a personal home directory. I am ignorant in how to tell my Ubuntu 8.04 system how to connect an image file with a squeak vm. (E.G. the vm that runs the installed etoys for example.) What do I need to know? Any wisdom, help or clues will be appreciated. Yours in curiosity, --Jerome Peace

Can't load VMMaker classes
by kmr1642 27 Mar '09

27 Mar '09

Hi all, I'd like to look at the code for Interpreter and ObjectMemory, in either Smalltalk or Slang, but can't find any classes/files for them. I noticed that the names appear in VMMaker comments in the Package Universe but when I tried to load any of the VMMakers, they all hung with a variety of reasons. (I used a fresh 3.10.2-7179 image in win32). Installing VMMaker using squeakMap also hung. Does anyone know where the source for these classes might be found for reading? Or a 1-click image that contains VMMaker? (doesn't have to be current) Thanks, Michael -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Can%27t-load-VMMaker-classes-tp22734495p22734495.html Sent from the Squeak - Beginners mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

GUI (using MVC?) application writing advice
by Kevin Polston 22 Mar '09

22 Mar '09

Hi I'm just beginning to learn Smalltalk. I've been using Cincom's VisualWorks and have been writing a small GUI application (Text boxes, radio buttons, action buttons - that kind of thing) using MVC. I've now come across Squeak and have been looking for a similar set of classes (or a package) to help me do a similar GUI application in Squeak but I can't seem to find anything. Can anybody help me here - some pointers to a tutorial would be fantastic. Thanks Kevin

Adding new types of Connectors
by Rob Rothwell 22 Mar '09

22 Mar '09

Hi all, Any advice on where to start to add new types of Connectors? I'd just like a "Decision" connector ( a diamond shape that I could type some text into) to graphically create some algorithms for a project I am working on. >From there, I want to create different kinds of decision "steps" that would be subclasses of this basic "decision" connector. Then, hopefully, I can "read in" the structure to create a file based on the algorithm that will be the input for my project. Thanks in advance, Rob

[ANN} Join to the Latina hour

To non Spanish people: As some realize, squeaking is more as code. We have a group here http://ar.groups.yahoo.com/group/squeakRos/ which try to be a ³bar and coffee² where nobody rules and don¹t exist such thing as off topic. Join us and tell about you, your neighbors, your city, your pets, any hobbies you like, etc. Off course, we was all eternal beginners and nobody have any magic solution, but maybe some tip or two for share with you about our favorite subject, Squeak. I try to connect to #IRC Squeak every day at random time, but near 09:00 to 11:00 Argentina time look in http://timeanddate.com/worldclock/ Buenos Aires .. We in Rosario have same time so you see if nice for you. A los amigos del bar: Asi que ya saben, pueden intercambiar ideas en español y alguna en ingles. Atenta la neurona, vermú con papas fritas y Gooood Show. Edgar P.S English text is not same as Rosarino basico, se entiende ? Rosarino basico is the slang we talk when seeing the glorious Rosario Central in his Stadium and is Spanish compatible as Squeak is Smalltalk 80

Are the arguments of a URL encrypted when you make an HTTPS connection?
by Andy Burnett 14 Mar '09

14 Mar '09

I had a brilliant idea today! Instead of bothering with authentication, I would use unguessable URLs (and/or arguments) for my application - yes I know it is hardly unique, but it might solve a problem for me. Anyway, after recovering form the shock of my idea, I suddenly realised it would be completely useless if the URL is transmitted in plain text. Does anyone know when the encryption in an SSL session actually kicks in? And is there anything I can set on WAKom to ensure that the URL is protected? Cheers Andy

I again I am not a student :-) I wish I were :-) I own a store... if you wish you can see me in my webpage. :-) This is just my first try with it... just trying to figure it out for something else. I want to move a small picture called bolo (cake) to the mouth... than it would stop there for 1 minute, meanwhile it would show some text, something like "food is shew and than continues is way" than I would have that small picture, smaller and it would go through the throat it would stop mid way and it would have some other text and than it would stop for one more minute and so on. I just need help on those two steps than I would try to do the rest. If you could help I would apreciate a lot. Thank you for your fast reply. ·´¨¨)) -:¦:- ¸.·´ .·´¨¨)) ((¸¸.·´ ..·´ Pedro Amorim Pereira -:¦:- -:¦:- ((¸¸.·´-:¦:- virtualdark(a)hotmail.com _________________________________________________________________ O novo Windows Live Messenger.
