"World's poorest don't want '$100 laptop': Intel"
by Chris Muller 14 Dec '05

14 Dec '05

Despite years of monopolistic success at Intel, clueless-Craig feels he must discredit the $100 laptop and even spout untruths about it. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20051209/tc_nm/technology_intel_dc What an ignorant lamo.. Leave it to the worlds greediest, fearful adults to rain on the kids' upcoming party..

SM and cache explained a bit
by goran＠krampe.se 14 Dec '05

14 Dec '05

Hi folks! I noticed that there was discussion yesterday on IRC about SM and how to "get files". Here are some short facts: 1. SM is a catalog. It basically holds URLs for each release of each package. Those URLs can point anywhere - some point to the SM server itself because if you get an account on SM you also get the ability to store files there for your releases. 2. If you bring up the menu on a release in the SqueakMap Package Loader you see an entry called "force download into cache". If you just want to get the file and perhaps look at it before installing - you can use this to download the URL to the SM file cache residing in "/sm/cache/packages/...". Then when it has downloaded - look in the menu and use "browse cache" or "copy from cache" to get to the file. 3. The new SM 2.1 also has a server side cache of all release files and each release now has an SHA checksum associated with the file. If the regular download fails, for example the SHA check fails - then the SqueakMap Package Loader will contact the SM server to try to load the file from there instead. If you have a transcript open you will see this. Well, perhaps that made some of you a bit wiser. :) regards, Göran PS. The server side cache is populated when a new release is registered. That is also the time when the SHA checksum is calculated. If for some reason the cached file is "broken" then the SHA will be broken too and every download from the original URL will "fail" and it will fall back on the broken server cached file. If this happens, edit the release and modify the URL in some way to trigger a new download - I should add a "refresh cache and checksum"-button there.

SQL ODBC problem
by Marcus Pedersén 13 Dec '05

13 Dec '05

Hi! I installed ODBC and made a try to see if I could make a connection with my MS SQL but I got an error: "Callout mechanism not available". As I understand it I miss some type of package to make it work or have I missunderstood it all? I "inspected" the following line: ODBCConnection dsn: 'myServerName' user: 'userName' password: 'myPassword'. Many thanks in advance! Marcus PS. Ben and German thanks for the help on the subject DS.
