Non-intuitive target for halo button
by subbukk 27 May '07

27 May '07

Hi, When I press red button on a collection of Morphs, the top-most morph is targetted, but when I press blue button, the halo appears on the outermost morph. This runs counter to how we 'pick' stuff in real world and I find it very annoying. Shift-blue gives the right behavior but I wonder how many people know it. I wonder which use cases drove the decision to switch the order? Curious .. Subbu

VM crash with image 3.9
by Damien Cassou 27 May '07

27 May '07

Hi, while I was working with Nile (a new stream library) the VM crashed. You can reproduce it very easily. Download a fresh 3.9-7067, install Nile-All from monticello (http://www.squeaksource.com/Nile/). In a workspace, execute: "NSBenchmarks new benchStringNextPutAllString" Then, you get: sweep failed to find exact end of memory -2145977416 >new: -2145977508 NSStringWriter>nextPutAll: -2145977600 [] in NSBenchmarks>benchStringNextPutAllString -2145977692 Integer>timesRepeat: 2030103240 [] in NSBenchmarks>benchStringNextPutAllString 2030103424 [] in NSBenchmarks>benchWithSqueakStream:andNileStream:do: -2145996892 BlockContext>bench 2030103644 [] in NSBenchmarks>benchSqueak:Nile: 2030103060 Integer>timesRepeat: 2030102968 NSBenchmarks>benchSqueak:Nile: 2030102876 NSBenchmarks>benchWithSqueakStream:andNileStream:do: 2030102784 NSBenchmarks>benchStringNextPutAllString 2030102692 UndefinedObject>? 2030100224 Compiler>evaluate:in:to:notifying:ifFail:logged: 2030099892 [] in ParagraphEditor>evaluateSelection 2030099792 BlockContext>on:do: ... -- Damien Cassou

Wouldn't it be better for the board to have its own mailing list?
by Jerome Peace 27 May '07

27 May '07

Wouldn't it be better for the board to have its own mailing list? a delayed response to: the <Towards 3.9.1 . Away from What?> thread. Hi all, Wouldn't it be better for the board to have its own mailing list for collecting agenda items? Rather than rely on squeakpeople for communication. Squeakpeople is a poor mechanism for communication. The difficulty in using it is reflected by its sparse use. I had looked at the messages on squeak people breifly. Decided the agenda post was too out of date to be relied on and fell back on posting to squeak-dev where most of the attention is given. Personally I find it deficient even in the most basic of things. Users can not even update their own password. It's unique function is validating apprentices, journeyers and masters. And that is only exciting around election time. A board mailing list might provide a better mechanism. Yours in curiosity and service, --Jerome Peace *** >Towards 3.9.1 .

os-x dashboard widgets and Squeak.
by John M McIntosh 26 May '07

26 May '07

Since Dashboard widgets are just HTML, it is of course possible to have a os-x dashboard widget display a particular EToy project. However I need an EToy project that is small in size, does something cute/interesting/useful and something a user would want on his os-x dashboard desktop. If anyone can suggest something, please let me know. -- ======================================================================== === John M.

Does anyone use Eudora?
by Lex Spoon 26 May '07

26 May '07

The Celeste email reader has the concept of a "Eudora" email folder. Is this still useful to anyone? I am thinking of changing it to simply talk about "Unix" email folders. Lex
