[Slightly OT] Stability of Squeak
by Bill Schwab 01 Nov '07

Gang, Has there been a resolution of the (sorry if I am suffering from memory corruption here) non-collectable garbage under Gary's enhancements? Another thing that disturbed me was the Croquet group(???) threatening to drop Squeak servers in favor of Java or similar. There were some semaphore/delay/shared queue kinds of fixes. Did they make it into Squeak? Please don't do my homework for me. I am hoping someone here happens to remember the details. Bill Wilhelm K.

Gary, Impressive! The screenshot reminds me of the menu bar. A friend of mine recently bought a mac laptop, and it took some real adjustment for me to look at the menu. That integration is one area where the native-or-bust crowd might actually have a point??? It is a minor point in my book, as my focus is on a Windows-Linux escape system. You are doing wonders for the look and feel of Squeak. THANKS!!!! Re Watery, I think I would like it more if it were not so uniformly bright. You are probably just emulating the real thing, but some darker tones might cut down on eye strain????? Have we reached any consensus on MVP? I _think_ it can be done with morphs serving as views to start, and then break off into other directions if we chose, or find it necessary. Have any Monticello experts put together a script to load the latest stuff? I am almost remembering how to do so, but a blob of text in a workspace is calling me. I will probably end up taking a shot at it, but would not be too proud to use an existing script if available. Speaking of UI and Monticello, I am bothered by Monticello's download behavior. On selection, it begins lengthy downloads but gives no feedback or opportunity to cancel. What do you think? One of my favorite guidelines is "never punish the user." I wish I could say I thought of it. Bill Wilhelm K.

Forgotten how painful "command-line" ftp is (not needed a usefult ftp client for a while).
