[ANN (Toy)]: EventTweet
by Sean P. DeNigris Dec. 7, 2014

Dec. 7, 2014

When at events like ESUG, I often append a trailer to all my Tweets - something like "[Speaker], [Talk], [ConferenceName | Hashtag]". It can be tedious to copy/paste it in each time, and especially when it must be shortened for a longish Tweet. So I wrote a tiny app that lets you specify your trailer in various degraded (shorter) versions, and as you type, it shows you which are over/under and by how many characters. The code below will get you started and here is a screencast: https://vimeo.com/113763005 Gofer it smalltalkhubUser: 'SeanDeNigris' project: 'SeansPlayground'; package: 'EventTweet'; load. ui := EtUI new. "Set up the different versions of the trailer. Order does not matter" ui event trailers: { ' - Gary Zimmer, "Establishing Best Practicesâ for #Farming - Ecological & Otherwise", @AcresUSA 2014'. ' - Gary Zimmer, "Establishing Best Practicesâ for #Farming...", @AcresUSA 2014'. ' - Gary Zimmer, "Establishing Best Practicesâ for #Farming...", @AcresUSA'. ' - Gary Zimmer, @AcresUSA 2014' }. ui openWithSpec. "Now as you type in the editor, the preview will show tweets with each version and how under/over the limit they are. Copy the longest valid tweet to the clipboard - cmd-t" ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/ANN-Toy-EventTweet-tp4794621.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hi, This is indeed a significant challenge. Until that point we need a couple of more features, of which the most important is the preview for the selected object. This will come and then we can consider what we can do with it. But, in the meantime, there are a lot of use cases nobody ever considered exactly because there was no easy way to consider them. Like finding all the methods from CodeHolder* that are annotated with <systemsettings>. Or like searching a Person in a Agenda model that someone develops. The cool thing is that you can program this yourself :).

The _whole_ Pharo system depicted:
by Alexandre Bergel Dec. 5, 2014

Dec. 5, 2014

Hi! I played a bit this morning. This is the whole Pharo: A detail of this picture: There are over 100 000 methods and over 65 000 edges. Each circle is a method. Color of the method indicates its class. Edges are self-call between methods (e.g., a method "foo ^ self barâ will creates a link between #foo and #bar. The very short script to produce it and a large version of the pictures are available on: https://www.facebook.com/ObjectProfile/posts/742756179144315 Cheers, Alexandre -- _,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;: Alexandre Bergel http://www.bergel.eu ^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;.
