Re: [Pharo-project] Pharo and an old plotter

Nice! What is the physical/electrical connection? Serial, parallel, etc.? If serial, did you have any problems with opening ports? On which VM?

Re: [Pharo-project] direct object manipulation

by Fernando Olivero

Gaucho is under active development, so sadly i cant release it yet. The good news is that i'm using Athens[1], with a Cairo backend. so the visual appearance is greatly improved from the previous version, amongst other goodies such as a zoomable user interface. I'm almost ready for a release... Up to my knowledge, there's no other work related to Self and Morphic Wrappers for Pharo.

[Pharo-project] Strange deprecation

Hi! In 1.4 there is deprecation: MorphicUIManager>>multiLineRequest: queryString centerAt: aPoint initialAnswer: defaultAnswer answerHeight: answerHeight ... self deprecated: 'Use multiLineRequest: queryString centerAt: aPoint initialAnswer: defaultAnswer answerHeight: ' on: '7 September 2011' in: 'Pharo1.4'. ... This is strange since it recommends to use the very same method. I could not find the method I should instead use. Does this method really has to be deprecated?

Re: [Pharo-project] R: Polymorph

This is the main reason that motivated my talk in Smalltalks 2010 (Smalltalk and MicroISV's), to show some possibilities of the business side of using Smalltalk. All of us enjoy play with Pharo (or others smalltalks) in our garage to hobbistics projects (myself also!) but we must also use it in business. Thanks for the videos and experiences of Pinesoft, are very motivating!
