Introductory documentation for OSC in Squeak
by OFFRAY VLADIMIR LUNA CARDENAS 26 Apr '11

26 Apr '11

Hi all, I'm using Physical Etoys in Squeak for Linux (0.7 version) for interact with an arduino board. Other people is using vvvv for their work with sensors. I would like to use OSC for enabling communication with them, but I can't find any newbie documentation on that subject, in fact, I only find on the web that OSC is supported by Squeak and is a nice protocol, even proudctos like Musical Objects that use it, but not many details. Any introductory information on Squeak and OSC will be appreciated and if I can get details on time to make proper communication, even better. Thanks a lot, Offray AVISO LEGAL: El presente correo electronico no representa la opinion o el consentimiento oficial de la PONTIFICIA UNIVERSIDAD JAVERIANA.

Teaching in digital society vs industrial society
by Carlos Rabassa 21 Apr '11

21 Apr '11

I have just watched a most interesting video a friend pointed out to me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlAnkExQabY The ideas presented in the video seem to be correct and most interesting. Even more, it seems to me the opportunity of having all those XOs already distributed, we might have the perfect opportunity to apply these ideas. Of course, I am just a volunteer. I would really like to listen to the opinion of teachers, educators and other experts. Mi impression is that, as Mr. Toffler says, the problem he describes in the U.S., is not an exclusive problem of this country. We will see it in other countries as they go from industrial to digital societies.

How can I evaluate an Expression in Text
by Steve Thomas 31 Mar '11

31 Mar '11

So if I have a Text Object with the "characters" value: (5 + 2) / 2 How can I set the numeric value of another text object (or any variable of Type Number) to the "evaluated" value? Ie: how can I set the value to the equivalent of <CMD-P>? Also how can I specify the format as either "7/2" or 3.5? Thanks, Stephen

Explicaciones muy claras y sumamente interesantes. No domino tanto YouTube como para poder explicarles por qué los títulos están en Catalán y el audio de los videos está en Español. Tampoco pude encontrar como ocurre a veces si hay transcripción escrita o subtítulos en otros idiomas. (Audio is in Spanish. Couldn´t find transcripts or translations) Sistema educatiu Finlandes 1-3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pr6c0k3yBj0&feature=player_embedded Sistema educatiu Finlandes 2-3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZED0FRsGwjc&feature=player_embedded Sistema educatiu Finlandes 3-3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLWqfTI-0OA&feature=player_embedded Agradecemos a nuestro colega, el Ing.

What is a parameter in etoys?
by Christine Murakami 30 Mar '11

30 Mar '11

Do you have some documentation on how parameters work in Etoys and what they can accomplish? I looked it up in your Floss manual but it was unclear to me where to find that information. Thanks!
