Hi Dan,
You made me very happy when you made it to my talk on Thursday. It was
impossible for me to present a new paradigm in less than 30 minutes, but
I hope I triggered your curiosity.
I think your best next step would be to read my article on the DCI
Execution model

It's very vague; I'm thinking as I write. My off-the-cuff answer: Start
from Alan's definition of object orientation: "/... Thus its semantics
are a bit like having thousands and thousands of computers all hooked
together by a very fast network./" The BOOK consists of its own objects
as well

That's a great one! Dan Ingalls put it this way in Design Principles Behind

Yes!!! This is why just open sourcing a bad idea like an OS (see GNU/Linux)
doesn't cut it. Even though theoretically you have access to the whole
system, you c
Hi,
I’m sorry, I never tested pharo on windows 8.1.
and the only thing I can promise is that I will create a parallels image next
weeks (a couple of them), with 8.1 to test it…

My children have a Windows 8.1 (64-bit) machine, last time I checked Pharo ran
fine (actually this video was done in VirtualBox) :

I could check again tonight, but I suspect it will just work.

Personally I think the direction Moose is going is the right one, with
visualising code for understanding its overall structure. I do think
however that a system can help a user understand is an AI system, not in
the strict sense of the word but a system that can understand user needs

Yes, yes, yes.
BTW: Readable code is the goal of DCI.

Now, I am using zeroconf, but that shouldn't be an issue.

Hi Wilfred,
Smalltalk builds on Simula, Lisp, ++
So yes, there is a strong similarity with Lisp but I hope we can make
the programs more readable.
Do you mean to use the command shell for running remote objects
('apps')? Well worth trying.
A next step could be to run them from DCI role metho
Hi,
Many thanks for your ref [1]. I have skimmed it and find it both well
written and interesting. I must read it more carefully as necessary
background when I am embarking on the 'new Dynabook' (BOOK) project. My
target audience is professionals using computers as an essential part of

Can you have a look at the PharoDebug.log file?
Maybe we can find the cause there.

I would guess the image/vm is doing something IO related. What were you
experimenting with ? What did you load ? Does it also happen in a clean image ?

Hi,
No problem for me with Windows 8.1 (64 bits) and Pharo 3, I use it every
day.
If your computer crashes, I would suspect some hardware related issue,
not a vm problem.
Did you check in the system event log ?

Trygve,
Thanks to you for sharing DCI. I can't grasp it yet, but the relation
with the Dynabook and its intended audience of grown up curious and
playful adults are intriguing to me and a place where I can see common
interest.
Cheers,
Offray
