[ANN] SerialTTY-nk registered on SqueakMap
by Ned Konz 01 Apr '03

01 Apr '03

SerialTTY builds on Ian Piumarta's Telnet package to provide a serial terminal. It will load the Telnet package if necessary, and will add it to the World menu if you're using 3.4. For 3.2 and 3.4. -- Ned Konz http://bike-nomad.com GPG key ID: BEEA7EFE

Re: It's Not A Game

No--it's not a game. There are a number of folks around who remember prohibition in the US (some of them are still serving in the US Senate!)...and if DRM comes to forcing that--there will be some of us who are "illegal" for a time...but beyond keeping squeaking and beyond educating those we work with-- all I can think of is to have basic faith in human intelligence and relize that these things will correct themselves over time... ---- Original message ---- >Date: Tue, 1 Apr 2003 09:42:11 -0500 >From: "Joshua 'Schwa' Gargus" <schwa(a)cc.gatech.edu> >Subject: Re: It's Not A Game >To: The general-purpose Squeak developers list <squeak- dev(a)lists.squeakfoundation.org> > >You raise a very important issue since there is a real possibility >that, in the future, the entertainment console will serve as the >family computer for many households around the world.

Someone have experience with this morph and can bring me some advices? or know some examples or related sites?. Thanks in Advance and Best Regards. --- German Arduino http://www.dimensionO.com

We're chatty?
by Bruce ONeel 01 Apr '03

Some folks on the ll1-discuss(a)ai.mit.edu list think we're chatty! How could they ever get that idea... ll1 was a little languages conference. The list is interesting if you find languages interesting, else it has to be very boring. They aren't as chatty as we are. ------ Michael Vanier <mvanier(a)cs.caltech.edu> wrote: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/squeak/message/58516?threaded=1 Warning!

SqueakMap reaches 200 packages!
by Ned Konz 01 Apr '03

01 Apr '03

In the few short months since SqueakMap has been up, we've had 200 packages registered. Lex's Scamper/Scamper removal were the 199th and 200th packages on SqueakMap. I'm looking forward to many more great packages. Great work, folks! -- Ned Konz http://bike-nomad.com GPG key ID: BEEA7EFE

But take your time it will be ready when it is ready. It will be still great even if it takes another two or three months to complete. regards Hannes

Re: [Q] a couple of questions related to look enhancements
by Hannes Hirzel 01 Apr '03

01 Apr '03

Hi Diego for convenience would it be possible to have all your three enhancements as described on http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/3142 as one SqueakMap package? You already made an entry for SystemWindow Enhancements http://map2.squeakfoundation.org/sm/package/af7fdfeb-8cee-41fc-9d26-7b7f 70dddf03 I would like to have one SqueakMap entry (or a load script) to load all at once into a fresh 3.5 image. >From a user point of view it is an a more lightweight alternative to Zurgle then. Regards and thank you for your really great work! Hannes P.S. And it might perhaps be an idea to have one large SqueakMap entry for the MCP project as well. It surely would help to get more people doing testing if it is just as easy as getting a new image and clicking on an additional entry in the SqueakMap loader. I imagine that most people nowadays use the SqueakMap loader as one of their first actions after getting a new image.
