Hi all, squeakland.org will be down intermittently today and/or on Friday because of construction work. Everything hopefully will be back to normal in time for the weekend. Cheers Michael

How does the cache work for the plugin?
by guzdial＠cc.gatech.edu 18 Apr '03

18 Apr '03

One of the development problems I had when writing Active Essays was that uploading new revisions to projects didn't seem to get seen by the plugin. I'd use a project (say, synthesis.pr) and find a bug in it. I'd fix the bug, upload a new one, and then access synthesis.pr again -- but the bug would still be there! I'd then re-upload as synthesis2.pr, and the bug would go away. Would restarting my browser help? I'm guessing that the plugin is cacheing projects. For how long does the cache last? Thanks!

Active Essays on Computer Music
by guzdial＠cc.gatech.edu 18 Apr '03

18 Apr '03

I now have six active essays on computer music up at: http://swiki.cc.gatech.edu:8080/compMusic/ActiveEssays These start out with a review of Squeak's computer music tools, then go up from acoustics, through basic sound synthesis, how to generate a waveform, what makes a timbre, and up to creating a flexible oscillator. I'm going to be working on synthesis methods next, but probably not in Active Essay format. I'll return to Active Essays when I write up a tour of Squeak's computer music facilities. I'd appreciate any comments or critiques of these. From the Squeakland folks, I'd be particularly interested in suggestions for more active elements to put in, or other Squeak features I could have incorporated that I don't (or maybe don't know about). These are way different than the Active Essays that others have done -- perhaps we don't want to apply that name to these things. Some of the differences include: - My audience are students who already know Squeak and will be programming in Squeak. So, I don't make any use of tiles, and I show lots of code. - I wrote these to work as lecture slides and student notes. As such, there is less text than a normal essay, there are some things unlabelled (e.g., FFTs and waveforms) because I plan to discuss them in class, and there are implicit activities for some of these pages (e.g., there's active text that brings up a wave editor to play with) that I plan to realize in lecture.

World Menu
by m.rueger＠acm.org 18 Apr '03

18 Apr '03

Hi all, to access the world menu use CMD-Shift-W. You can then turn off the eToyFriendly preference (as Bob already pointed out). There will also be a fileIn/external preference + a set of changes and source files for those who want to do code level authoring. As long as you do *not* update beyond the current update level (4296) you can also use the development image for authoring. Michael

Code-level Authoring with the Plugin Image
by arning＠charm.net 18 Apr '03

18 Apr '03

Mark, The simplest path is probably... - CMD-click in the world to get its halo - from the red menu, choose desktop menu - use that to open the preferences window - use that to turn 'eToyFriendly' off.

Code-level Authoring with the Plugin Image
by guzdial＠cc.gatech.edu 18 Apr '03

18 Apr '03

I re-downloaded the Squeakland plugin and image today, in order to try authoring from the RIGHT image. Is there a big, hidden switch somewhere that enables authoring at other-than-an-etoy level in the Squeakland image? It looks like the browsers are gone -- I was able to get a Workspace up (by opening Geemail, typing in code, then Command-D on it from there). But I can't get a browser up at all. I can't find a FileList, either. Is there, perhaps, a fileIn that I can use/get in order to have some code-level-authoring available?

Microsoft pulls the plug...

What about Netscape 6.1? and Opera 12? -----Original Message----- From: Michael Rueger [mailto:m.rueger@acm.org] Sent: Monday, August 27, 2001 10:02 AM To: squeakland(a)squeakland.org; squeaknews(a)squeakland.org Subject: Microsoft pulls the plug... ...on plugins. I forgot to mention (it's now also on the installer pages) that Microsoft's IE 5.5 SP2 and IE 6 no longer support the Netscape plugin interface. You will NOT be able to use Squeak if you use the above versions. We are working on a solution. Michael -- "To improve is to change, to be perfect is to change often."

Squeakland.org changes
by m.rueger＠acm.org 18 Apr '03

18 Apr '03

Hi all, the next iteration of the Squeakland.org web site is now life. We did some minor changes to the layout of the site, but the main changes are a new version of the Squeakland plugin and a new detection process. The plugin is now in sync with the latest version of the development system. The installers also include a standalone version so you can work both online and offline with the same version. Please note that if you are creating content that is intended to be viewed using the plugin, you should use the Squeakland, not the development image! Please let us know if there are any problems with the site so we can try to fix it asap. Due to yet another server move the server will be down for (hopefully) short periods of time within the next days. Michael -- "To improve is to change, to be perfect is to change often."
