[Pharo-project] Pharo Smalltalk + Riak = Phriak
by Nicolas Petton Feb. 15, 2012

Feb. 15, 2012

Hi! GÃ¶ran and I worked on a Riak client for Pharo Smalltalk named Phriak. You can download the code at http://www.squeaksource.com/Phriak Today I released the version 0.3. Riak is a screamingly cool NoSQL database that scales like crazy. It's a distributed, data agnostic db (see http://wiki.basho.com/Riak.html) There's a Metacello package ConfigurationOfPhriak for simple loading. As of today, Phriak supports (through the HTTP API): - Bucket properties - Objects metadata - Links and link walking - Secondary indexing - Map/Reduce - VClock and Siblings resolution Cheers, Nico -- Nicolas Petton http://nicolas-petton.fr

[Pharo-project] cannot add repository in monticello
by Fabrizio Perin Feb. 15, 2012

Feb. 15, 2012

Hi, I just tried to add a new repository in Monticello and I got an error: the error is: MessageNotUndestood: FileDialogWindow>>directoriesFor: the repository I wanted to add was a directory. It seems to work in the case you want to add a HTTP repository. The problem happen on the last Moose build (#830) and on a Pharo1.4a Latest update: #14331 downloaded from the pharo web site. Cheers, Fabrizio

students in the lecture on windows downloaded cogvm I do not from whereâ¦ and used pharo1.3 and some experienced crashes. We will have to brand these vms because the situation is getting difficult. I do not imagine how we can track these problems. Stef

[Pharo-project] Usable state PharoMorphicView
by S Krish Feb. 14, 2012

Feb. 14, 2012

Now I hope it should load and work fine for the first look at a simpler morphic UI construction.. Will hunker down and work on a plan.. this point onwards.. There is a bigger pie to cut .. n eat .. this is just a piece in the jigsaw or is replaced by a more competent piece.. but for now this is more complete and workable over the range of need.. http://skrishnamachari.wordpress.com/2012/02/14/pharo-morphic-view-03/ http://skrishnamachari.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/pharomorphicview_02.pdf

[Pharo-project] 1.4 - better from Jenkins
by Schwab,Wilhelm K Feb. 14, 2012

Feb. 14, 2012

I grabbed 1.4 and cog/unix from jenkins, dumped all the files in one directory, made a shell script to run the image using Cog, and all I can say is "wow." The usability problems I was having are gone. In particular, the context menus work. I loaded Migrate and set preferences, with a really nice appearance resulting. One question: why did ClassDescription>>package go away? That seems to be a really useful message. I'll try to build an image using the SqueakSource mirror. No promises, but 1.4 "suddenly" looks a LOT more polished than it did. Are the links on the Pharo page old, or did somebody just do a lot of work to make things better? Bill

I think even alone you be non-linear. And the secret is: feedback loops. So imagine we implement something that makes it easier to work. (better browser, refactoring tools...). Then *using these* will make it easier to build new tools and abstractions... that make us more priductive.... Improving a system allows you do do things *faster*, and even, at some point, do things that where impossible without the improvement. (regardless how much time and intelligence you have). *That* is non-linear progress. Making the system better so you can make the system better more easily.
