Re: [Box-Admins] Upload access to the ftp
by Ken Causey 27 Apr '06

27 Apr '06

PLEASE NOTE: I've now changed the ownership setup for the FTP site file area. We've clearly had a little trouble coordinating the transfer of this duty to the website team so as to ease that a little bit I've changed the ownership of the files to the website account so that anyone with direct access to the website account on squeak.org can update the FTP site. The ftp site files can be accessed through ~website/ftpsite/ . Also I went ahead and added Bruce to authorized key list for ssh access to the website account. Bruce: So note anywhere you may have the page '~sqfiles/files' change that to '~website/ftpsite'. Ken P.S. This may be a bit abrupt of me but I felt we needed to get this sorted out. I can change it back or to some other setup in just a couple of minutes if it needs to be done differently.

pending mac carbon VM 3.8.12b4U
by John M McIntosh 24 Apr '06

24 Apr '06

I've posted a new VM to the usual places, 3.8.12b4U (universal Mac powerpc/intel, certified for Croquet). http://www.smalltalkconsulting.com/squeak.html This VM changes the sleep logic to use select() versus nano-sleep(). In testing, a nano-sleep() VM seems to use 35% of the CPU, versus 12% for select(). No one managed to notice this but in the past people have mumble when the idle CPU for their background squeak VMs seem too high. Lastly I'll note all Croquet tests past, including the socket latency tests. The WebTeam I've CCed can update the ftp site with this version -- ======================================================================== === John M.

- The Glorious Mysteries Forgetfulness of the Future 11. The third evil for which a remedy is needed is one which is chiefly characteristic of the times in which we live. Men in former ages, although they loved the world, and loved it far too well, did not usually aggravate their sinful attachment to the things of earth by a contempt of the things of heaven. Even the right-thinking portion of the pagan world recognized that this life was not a home but a dwelling-place, not our destination, but a stage in the journey. But men of our day, albeit they have had the advantages of Christian instruction, pursue the false goods of this world in such wise that the thought of their true Fatherland of enduring happiness is not only set aside, but, to their shame be it said, banished and entirely erased from their memory, notwithstanding the warning of St. Paul, "We have not here a lasting city, but we seek one which is to come" (Heb. xiii., 4). 12. When We seek out the causes of this forgetfulness, We are met in the first place by the fact that many allow themselves to believe that the thought of a future life goes in some way to sap the love of our country, and thus militates against the prosperity of the commonwealth. No illusion could be more foolish or hateful. Our future hope is not of a kind which so monopolizes the minds of men as to withdraw their attention from the interests of this life. Christ commands us, it is true, to seek the Kingdom of God, and in the first place, but not in such a manner as to neglect all things else. For, the use of the goods of the present life, and the righteous enjoyment which they furnish, may serve both to strengthen virtue and to reward it. The splendour and beauty of our earthly habitation, by which human society is ennobled, may mirror the splendour and beauty of our dwelling which is above. Therein we see nothing that is not worthy of the reason of man and of the wisdom of God. For the same God who is the Author of Nature is the Author of Grace, and He willed not that one should collide or conflict with the other, but that they should act in friendly alliance, so that under the leadership of both we may the more easily arrive at that immortal happiness for which we mortal men were created. 13. But men of carnal mind, who love nothing but themselves, allow their thoughts to grovel upon things of earth until they are unable to lift them to that which is higher. For, far from using the goods of time as a help towards securing those which are eternal, they lose sight altogether of the world which is to come, and sink to the lowest depths of degradation. We may doubt if God could inflict upon man a more terrible punishment than to allow him to waste his whole life in the pursuit of earthly pleasures, and in forgetfulness of the happiness which alone lasts for ever. 14. It is from this danger that they will be happily rescued, who, in the pious practice of the Rosary, are wont, by frequent and fervent prayer, to keep before their minds the glorious mysteries. These mysteries are the means by which in the soul of a Christian a most clear light is shed upon the good things, hidden to sense, but visible to faith, "which God has prepared for those who love Him." From them we learn that death is not an annihilation which ends all things, but merely a migration and passage from life to life. By them we are taught that the path to Heaven lies open to all men, and as we behold Christ ascending thither, we recall the sweet words of His promise, "I go to prepare a place for you." By them we are reminded that a time will come when "God will wipe away every tear from our eyes," and that "neither mourning, nor crying, nor sorrow, shall be any more," and that "We shall be always with the Lord," and "like to the Lord, for we shall see Him as He is," and "drink of the torrent of His delight," as "fellow-citizens of the saints," in the blessed companionship of our glorious Queen and Mother. Dwelling upon such a prospect, our hearts are kindled with desire, and we exclaim, in the words of a great saint, "How vile grows the earth when I look up to heaven!" Then, too, shall we feel the solace of the assurance "that which is at present momentary and light of our tribulation worketh for us above measure exceedingly an eternal weight of glory" (2 Cor. iv., 17). 15. Here alone we discover the true relation between time and eternity, between our life on earth and our life in heaven; and it is thus alone that are formed strong and noble characters. When such characters can be counted in large numbers, the dignity and well-being of society are assured. All that is beautiful, good, and true will flourish in the measure of its conformity to Him who is of all beauty, goodness, and truth the first Principle and the Eternal Sou

Back to "The News"
by Brad Fuller 18 Apr '06

18 Apr '06

News on the front page was, I believe, not quite agreed upon. Göran didn't mind a feed to the front page, but wanted it on the side. I, on the other hand, wanted the top of the page fed with automatic news (so we didn't have to worry about having fresh news and that the front page changed as news came in.) I confess I was in the minority. If we are going to have manually edited news on the top center, I think we should make sure it's up-to-date. We have links to election news that is 2 months old. We should up date with new news or delete the election news. brad

WinRAR Cooporation
by WinRAR-Marketing 13 Apr '06

13 Apr '06

Dear Squeak Team, I am contacting you from win.rar GmbH, the official publisher of WinRAR, with a business proposal that could be in your interest. While viewing your web-site at www.squeak.org, I noticed that you offer your downloads mainly in .zip and .exe formats. We would like to propose you to consider adding the .rar format to your current download options. Since RAR files can usually compress content up to 30 percent better than ZIP, this would save downloading time for the people who download files from your website. WinRAR is the most complete file compression tool available on the market. It supports all RAR and ZIP archives, as well as most other popular archive formats, e.g. CAB, ARJ, LZH, ACE, TAR, GZip, UUE, ISO, BZIP2, Z and 7-Zip. The RAR archiver is also available for Linux, MacOS X, DOS, OS/2 and FreeBSD. Moreover, WinRAR is constantly being developed and all future updates are for free. Please check out our official website at www.win-rar.com for more detailed information about WinRAR. To begin our cooperation, we would like to offer you a free license of WinRAR so that you can have a chance to test our product firsthand. If you are happy with WinRAR and feel that it is a product that Squeak Team would be interested in using, then we would like to discuss ways in which we can offer WinRAR to you. We hope that you will consider our business proposal. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience. You can reach me personally via e-mail or call me at +49-421-639390. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. Best regards, Davlatbek Aminov Marketing Assistant win.rar GmbH Unser Lieben Frauen Kirchhof 10 28195 Bremen Germany www.win-rar.com (website) marketing(a)win-rar.com (e-mail) +49 421 63939-0 (tel) +49 421 63939-99 (fax) ******************************************************** NOTE: Thanks for taking the time to read this e-mail. We found your e-mail address on your company website. In case our inquiry has reached the wrong person, we would appreciate if you could please direct this e-mail to the appropriate person or send us their contact information. Thanks in advance. *************** *****************************************

Re: mac carbon 3.8.11b5U
by Ken Causey 09 Apr '06

Since there has been no response (apparently) from the website team to this request I went ahead and took care of it. Website team: I updated and snapshotted both the test and main site. I'm not sure of the correct procedure here so I tried to dot all the i's and cross all the t's, so to speak. I understood that the website team was accepting responsibility for requests to update the contents of the FTP site. Is this not the case? Are you all asleep? Bruce: I understand not having time. But perhaps you could find some time in the coming weeks to find at least one or two persons who can manage the FTP site as diligently as you have in the past? If the website team does not have an interest in responding to these sorts of requests with greater alacrity, then I would be willing to take this on as part of the box-admins team. However, that rather complicates the issue since the major changes to the FTP site also require changes to the downloads section (if not other pages) of the website, which is under the website team's purview.
