Hi
I'd like to ask a favor of the members of the Etoys list. I've created a website project at http://www.smalltalktelevision.com If you have a moment I'd like some people to visit it and go to the host page. There is an Etoys project on that page. As people, I expect, have the Etoys plugin installed, you can tell me how its running in your browser. I've got it running fine on my computers at home. I can't install the Etoys plugin at a net cafe, so I'd like to know if people are seeing exactly what I'm seeing. I won't tell you what the project is, though you've certainly seen it before. If people could post what they're seeing here, I'd appreciate it.
I have also created a five minute Flash video at the site, video number eighteen, on the lessons page. It shows how a person with or without an OLPC can put an Etoys project online using Seaside. I'd also be very interested in peoples' views of what that video is telling them. With that, though, there is a catch. You'd have to register for the site's free ten day trial. If you wanted to register one day and then unsubscribe with PayPal the next, that'd work fine.
At any rate, I've created a web project with some use of Etoys, and if you'd visit that'd be great. If you have better things to do, I certainly understand.
Thanks
Chris
Hi Chris,
Under Host, the etoys project works with the Etoys plugin installed in Firefox 3 (currently 3.0.9). I see the project with a jumping ball. When navigating away from the page, Firefix crashes. This is a known problem. Probably the Squeak pluging problem rather then Firefox, but it does work correctly in Firefox 3.5 (currently beta).
regarding the flash it is very good. I can understand what is hapenning. Maybe a few more words of introduction would be good.

Hi Milan,
Thank you for the data. I appreciate it. It's invaluable to know how others are seeing it. I think you may be right about the length of the copy. I'll have to think about saying more and what to say. I kept carving things down and down, but perhaps I've gone too far. The TSUG's on Monday if you can make it. I know it's not exactly easy to get to, but you've been doing a lot related to this board, perhaps you could show these things at Northwater?

No problem. I will also try on Various Windows browsers at work - ask me about it Monday.

Yes, I will be there, unless some last minute problem happens.
I will talk briefly about Etoys and Squeakland news with a few links.
