Thanks. I don't have an actual linux machine myself at the moment - I'm just working off vmware. Preliminary play with the latest Ubuntu seems to get most of...
OK, I have a compiled executable on Ubuntu 8.10. Woohoo! At the moment it loads the Demo snapshot, but the desktop doesn't come up. This presumably means...
... That's great! Did you have to make any changes to the code? (If so, what?) Or was it just a matter of getting the right libraries and stuff installed? Adam...
Hi, So I have worked out that I can load my module with: bootstrap read: 'webserver' from: 'applications' and file it out with: modules webserver fileOut Is...
... I don't think this has been implemented. Given the annotations that every module has, this should be a lot easier to do than when you file in stuff with...
It is now winter, and grey is getting me down; so I made a module to make my self snapshot more colourful. This turned out to involve wading through the...
Russell, Morphic did become far more colorful when it moved in Squeak. I liked this but many people were very critical of it and some even refused to even try...
I deployed a Squeak app to a classroom of uni students back in 2001 (2002?) and the major issue wasn't the colours so much as the lack of consistency in the...
Hello, I'm interested in making a number of improvements/changes to Self, not for any particular commercial motive but out of general interest in Self and its...
On Ubuntu Linux 8.10 I get the following error: ./Self -s Empty.snap Welcome to the Self system! (Version 4.1.5) Copyright 1992-2002 Sun Microsystems, Inc....
Hi Erik, I'm assuming you're using the linux vm from gliebe.de/self - or have you compiled your own from the sourceforge.net cvs tree? Something seems to have...
Why not build a Self interpreter on the .Net Dynamic Language Runtime? Sure, the performance won't be as good as native but you'll get more portability in the...
Hi Jeff, There have been attempts to get Self running on the JVM (which I am more familiar with since it is open source and cross platform); as you indicated,...
The DLR (the layer on the CLR designed for dynamic languages) adds support for dynamic languages and packages up some of the concerns, which on the JVM you...
... Speaking of JavaScript, did anyone notice the reference to Self in the design docs for V8? V8 is the new JavaScript engine that Google wrote for Chrome. ...
... V8 supports running JavaScript on multiple threads, but not at the same time. So a script running on one thread will pause while a script is running on...

... Unsurprising, since Lars Bak worked on both the Self VM and was the principal on V8....
Hi guys, I retreated to Ubuntu 7.04 (and GCC 4.1) and rebuilt the linux VM from the CVS sources. The normal 4.3 barebones snapshot works with the exception of...
Hi guys, In the end it turned out to be really simple, requiring almost no changes to the Self build system or code. After building a new snapshot from the CVS...
Hi Michael, The Mac changes are already in CVS - you just need to build a new VM+Snapshot. I didn't make any changes myself. In terms of building the linux vm,...
Hi ! Congrats for that work. It's a pitty that the snapshots are no longer compatible with the new VM's ... I guess this has to do with the kind of persistence...
Hi Baltasar, Strictly speaking, the snapshots per se are still compatible but since the new VM has different primitives to the 4.3 vm, the gui on a 4.3...
Given the actual nature of the Optimization I'd put quotes around the word, but if memory serves Strunk or White say that's bad style. Anyways to improve...
Russell, thanks for doing all of this stuff! It's about time we had our own domain name. :) I've set up the old website (self.sourceforge.net) to redirect to...
