Smack The Server
One of the blogs that my wife reads (The Yarn Harlot) had a post recently about wanting to smack her server. So I spend 30 minutes and put together a stress reliever:

Last night my wife and I were sitting on the couch. I was sprawled across it with my head in her lap and she was running her fingers through my hair. We were talking about the days activities and her focus changes to something in my hair. I watch her eyes, curiosity peaks and I ask her, "What is it dear?". She replies, "Your scalp, didn't your hair used to be thicker here?"
I had been working crazy hours this past month so I've encouraged my Wife to go to a couple of Church events to interact with adults. Right now she's off at a womens retreat, so I've got the kids for the weekend.
Today at about noon the kids and I walked around the local shopping area and later went out to dinner. At home we just lounged around, usually with one of the girls flopped accross me. At one point B (my 3 yr old girl) went and played with one of her dolls saying, "Daddy, you're home!" over and over again. She has another one dressed up like C (my 9 month old girl) and has her in bed with her right now.
I feel like watching a movie or something, but I need to get up for Church in the morning. TTFN.
Well, I made it to the end of chapter four. I'd have gone on but www.swa.hpi.uni-potsdam.de seems to have died for the moment. The tutorial is writtem for Squeak which means that those of us running VisualWorks get to debug learn more.
Some of the subtle differences betwen Squeak and VisualWorks crop up. The Date objects in Squeak have a 'yesterday' and 'tomorrow' versus the Date object in VisualWorks which has a 'today' which you can add and subtract days from. OrderedCollections are different enough to make you go look up function names.
Hopefully the server comes back up so I can finish the other 6 chapters. KTHNXBAI!
On their site they have a couple of examples, the 'easiest' is a counter. I have no idea how to replicate that in VisualWorks/Seaside. This is my first VisualWorks/Seaside app. Lets see how well it goes.
I've found a neat tutorial: http://www.swa.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/seaside/tutorial
Hopefully it explains some things. It seems objects have an odd lifespan. :-S
So last week I installed VisualWorks. Tonight I installed Seaside on it. All I had to do to install it was open up the StORE and select the latest SeasideForWebToolkit version and select "Load". Towards the end it asked me a couple questions (admin id and password) then it was done.
Now I'm off to make my first Seaside app. TTFN
Early this past week I installed VisualWorks (NonCommercial) to play with. I've used Dolphin Smalltalk before and liked how the system works.
Installing VisualWorks was easy enough, I filled out the form and was given access to the downloads page. The net installer didn't work so I used the CD ISO download (10 minute download on the cable modem).
I've been pleasantly suprised at the StORE that is in VisualWorks. If Dolphin Smalltalk had that sort of repository I couldn't imagine moving away from it. Dolphin is Win32 only and doesn't seem to have the repository. Ah well, I might see a VisualWorks purchase in my future.
