Quiet in Self land?
by Chris Double 07 Aug '16

07 Aug '16

It's been pretty quiet on this list, so I thought I'd start a conversation to see if the list is working. Anyone doing any interesting Self work? I sidelined my VNC client in Self for a bit due to getting busy in my day job but plan to get back to it soon and finish it off. It's pretty close. The missing part is mostly key handling. I'd like to tidy up my Android patches too and get them submitted so at least Intel android would work out of the box. What do people feel would make Self more viable as a fun project to hack on? -- http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz

Interrupting a UI action
by Chris Double 25 May '15

25 May '15

Is it possible to interrupt a UI action? I accidentally clicked "implenters" on a slot named 'parent' and the UI froze for a long time while it was computing. Can this be canceled in any way? I also then clicked the 'expand' icon which took even longer and eventually crashed, probably from an OOM. -- http://bluishcoder.co.nz

Black rectangle instead of text when using userQuery
by Chris Double 25 May '15

25 May '15

On An Unbuntu 14.10 linux system I'm seeing a black rectangle instead of a box showing text when 'userQuery' is used. This can be seen when saving the image from the middle click menu in the GUI. The text that usually displays that the image is being saved does not appear, instead a black rectangle where it would be displayed is shown instead. It can also be shown with: userQuery showEverybody: 'hello' While: [ times delay: 1000 ] This is with the latest master from the Self git repository. Does anyone else see this issue? -- http://bluishcoder.co.nz

Rosetta Code
by Russell Allen 18 May '15

Hi y’all, RosettaCode.org <http://rosettacode.org/> is a site which has code samples from a wide variety of language. I’ve been adding some Self snippets every now and again at: http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Category:Self <http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Category:Self> If you’re interested, feel free to add more! It’s probably also a good exercise to find Self’s pain points - if the solution to these common problems is too much harder than other language... :) Russell
