Squeak bumper sticker

Next year is a presidential election year in the United States. I
thought that Squeak should have its own campaign sticker. Is there a
way to get this into the SqueakShop on cafe press?

Funny.
What would be funnier is to name the squeak mouse (does (s)he have a
name?) and campaign for him/her.

If I recall correctly, mascot/logo "Squeaky" is one of Master Squeaker Tim
Rowledge's lesser contributions.

Given the state of 'merkin politics I can't help thinking that

Squeaky clean in '08

might be even better...

The logo was certainly a minor amount of work but my goodness it's
spread around the world. Every now and then I get nice presents from
people when they make a club/team T-shirt, sweatshirt or cap or
whatever using it . I have number of utterly gorgeous books from Japan
that I have been sent by the publishers as a thank you gift. I'm still
awaiting the appearance of a Squeaky logo Koenigsegg CCX (http://www.koenigsegg.com/index.asp
) on my driveway.

Base 8 is just like base 10, if you are missing two fingers.

OLPC Etoys

Been playing around on our OLPC laptops-- specifically with Etoys.
Can't figure out how to open a browser without resorting to tricks.

One of my tricks is to play around with a project in an attempt to
generate a DNU-- if you *try* to generate a DNU you can usually do it
pretty rapidly.

Then, once a DNU is generated, I can click "Debug", and that gives me
something that I can then type something like "Browser openBrowser" and
then doit.

Voila! A normal Smalltalk browser appears.

But that is sure a sucky way to do it.

Anybody know of a "proper" way to open a class browser inside of Etoys
on an OLPC laptop? Must be something obvious that I'm missing.

Heh, heh. OLPC makes a big deal of "View Source" feature, which of
course Etoys developers think a good idea. Alt-, (comma, in many
keyboard layout it is next to period and look like period on steroid)
is a meta keystroke to dive into deeper level; in current
implementation, you get a simplified World menu.

Also take a look at:

Well, Alt-. is one, too.

Indeed, Tim, I called it a "lesser contribution" only relative to your other, even more significant, contributions to the Squeak Community. The "Buy Tim a CCX Foundation" was moving along fine until Koenigsegg said the logo was giving them aerodynamics problems, but the engineers are working on it.

Thanks sincerely for the work you've done.

Now that is a neat little advert. I *love* the stopping on a dime...

... and the "regular" Fn-Space key combo for "view source" might work
too, depending on your version of the OS, Etoys, and Squeak. The VM
maps it to Alt-, internally.

Re: OLPC Etoys

And, of course, the Squeak browsers etc, are not a proper part of
Etoys at all. Both the language and object model are different ...

Cheers,

I also see in the olpc news update

19. Scratch: Brian Silverman (by phone), John Maloney,and Mitchel
Resnick came by the OLPC office this week to demonstrate Scratch
running on an XO (See [5]). While it hasn't been wholy "Sugarized"
yet, it is already quite usable. John will be posting a bundle on the
wiki for those who'd like to explore it (and provide feedback) at this
stage.

Yes, but I also have an ulterior motive here.

Our website (bountifulbaby.com ) is Squeak/Seaside driven, and I want
to help ensure that we have local resources to support the website. If
I seed the local school with OLPC machines, *somebody* is going to
eventually dig deeper into eToys and discover the Smalltalk
underpinnings. And this could eventually potentially solve my support
problem.

And even if it doesn't, have I really lost anything? :-)

To get a code browser, I just type in the word "Text" with a capital
"T" in a text morph, highlight it, and hit Alt-B.
The default TextMorph already has the word "Text" typed in it.
