files.pharo.org now cached close to you
by Marcus Denker March 7, 2015

March 7, 2015

Hi, Yesterday we have set up a caching infrastructure for http://files.pharo.org This means that files that are requested multiple times from your location will be served from a server close to you. There are e.g. servers in Chile, Argentine, Brazil, Dallas, LA, Franfurt, Paris, Hongkong, Sydneyâ¦. This will cost us around $1-2 per day. This is not a lot but more that someone (e.g. me) could spend from their own pocket. As such, this is only possible due to the funds of the Pharo Association: http://association.pharo.org Thanks a lot to all the members! If you like this and want to support things like this, please consider joining the association! fMarcus

Pharo References/Citations manager
by Peter UhnÃ¡k March 7, 2015

March 7, 2015

Hi, I've seen somewhere recently something that resembled citations manager, or maybe some DSL describing citations/references. Unfortunately I came across it accidentally while looking for something unrelated so I didn't bookmark it. Maybe it was related to Pillar? Anyone knows? Thanks, Peter

[ANN AthensSketch] A playground for drawings with Athens.
by Nicolai Hess March 7, 2015

March 7, 2015

The main purpose of this packages is to ease the creation of simple drawings and provide a rich set of examples for Athens drawing API. -------------- Gofer new smalltalkhubUser: 'NicolaiHess' project: 'AthensSketch'; configuration; load. ConfigurationOfAthensSketch loadDevelopment. AthensSketchBrowser open. ----------------- This is a simple playground for Athens drawings. Just subclass AthensSketch and define your own sketch drawing in the #drawStepOn: method. It provides basic frame based animation (play/pause/stop). Open a player with ASketchExampleColors openPlayer', or a simple viewer morph with ASketchExampleColors openView (start and stop rendering from the morph menu) The AthensSketchBrowser lists all defined AthensSketch subclasses. (Basic examples from package AthensSketch and some more examples from package ASketchExamples). You can step through the list of examples, start and stop the drawing, or view and edit the drawing code. It is great that we have now a vector based drawing API. The (old) Canvas API is already great for pixel based drawings. A rich API and many good things if you discover it. And Athens is a addition that can increase our possibilities. There were some questions about Athens, what it is and what it is used for, maybe this helps. nicolai

Entering login credentials into SmalltalkHub
by Offray Vladimir Luna CÃ¡rdenas March 6, 2015

March 6, 2015

Hi, I took a new image of moose and installed grafoscopio on it with Gofer. This image become my development environment and now I would like to push changes from it to SmalltalkHub, but any time I try, the systems says I'm not logged (which is understandable because I have not identified myself). If I remember quite well the system should ask my credentials, but there is also a way to indicate who I am by code. Any pointers to the solution? Thanks, Offray

[ANN (Toy)]: Chord Keyboard
by Sean P. DeNigris March 6, 2015

March 6, 2015

I was watching this great video about Doug Engelbart https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdFejSdS9fs and got inspired to write a little chord keyboard simulator :) It's just a proof-of-concept but was fun building! ## Warning N.B. only load this in a throwaway image because it hijacks event handling and it's easy to get into trouble ## Installing: Gofer it smalltalkhubUser: 'SeanDeNigris' project: 'SeansPlayground'; package: 'ChordKeyboard'; load CkChordKeyboard uniqueInstance enable. ## Help "These next two commented lines are to get you out of trouble: CkChordKeyboard uniqueInstance disable. CkChordKeyboard reset. " ## Usage Smalltalk tools openWorkspace. Now use your chord keyboard to type in the workspace... Bit Key 5 a 4 s 3 d 2 f 1 space So to type hi, type: $s = 01000 = 8 = $h $s + Character space = 01001 = 9 = $i ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/ANN-Toy-Chord-Keyboard-tp4810044.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Weird issues while editing
by sergio_101 March 5, 2015

March 5, 2015

Hey, all.. I have been having a weird problem for awhile. It has been happening on both pharo 3 and pharo 4. I can't pin down when it is happening, but here's what i am seeing: at some random time, when i hit the backspace, the cursor moves to the beginning of the method name.. and if i type anything, it overwrites the method name and any other text.. if i try to backspace, the cursor goes all the way back to the beginning of the method name. the only way out is to save or cancel changes, and try editing again.. any ideas? thanks!
