Spy & Pharo-1.4 MONLinearColorNormalizer>>#minimumValue: intermittent error
by Paul DeBruicker Sept. 21, 2012

Sept. 21, 2012

FYI - Sometimes when running an analysis the calculation to set the color of a box in the view (Roassal/Mondrian ?) gets messed up because the result of the MONLinearColorNormalizer>>#minimumValue: send is 'Float infinity negated' I'd guess that for that method you'd never want it to be below 0 or at least bounded in some fashion.. I have not seen the error happen twice in a row.

Pharo usage poll
by Esteban Lorenzano Sept. 20, 2012

Sept. 20, 2012

Hi guys, I created a small poll to know which versions of pharo are you using and with which purpose... can you be so kind and fill the form? is really small and can provide some insights about further directions :) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?fromEmail=true&formkey=dFZKeXU… Thanks, Esteban

[Screencast] Roassal, an agile visualization engine
by laurent laffont Sept. 19, 2012

Sept. 19, 2012

Roassal graphically renders objects using short and expressive Smalltalk expressions. A large set of interaction are offered for a better user experience. Painting, brushing, interconnecting, zooming, drag and dropping will just make you more intimate with any arbitrary object model. Thank you Vanessa PeÃ±a ! http://www.pharocasts.com/2012/09/roassal.html Laurent

Ping
by Bernat Romagosa Sept. 18, 2012

Sept. 18, 2012

Hi list, How does one ping a host from Pharo? I see there is a #ping: method at Socket class, but it's painfully slow... I've tried to use ZnClient as follows: isUp := [ (ZnClient new head: aUrl) isNil ] on: Error do: [ false ]. But it's still way too slow... I don't want to perform a full GET request, just an ICMP one. Thanks! Bernat. -- Bernat Romagosa.

Thanks Mariano, That clarifies it.

An automated approach sounds good. I also wonder whether it would be useful to have something like an 'I use this' button, which would allow community feedback on a package. This goes back to some of the ideas that Brad Cox had about software foundries, and getting a quality rating. Cheers Andy

How do the Configuration Browser configurations get 'trusted'?
by Andy Burnett Sept. 14, 2012

Sept. 14, 2012

I just stumbled across the configuration browser - it makes life so much easier! Well done. What piqued my curiosity is the tabs 'configurations' and 'untrusted'. Having a set of trusted configurations is a great idea. But, what is the process for trusting things? I am curious, because although I don't have any packages to contribute yet, I hope that will change soon. Cheers Andy
