External CSS files on Iliad. A problem with symlinks.
This was supposed to be a mail to the list, but since I am one of those who have trouble posting from gmail, I'll better put it here.
We want to use an external CSS stylesheet on Iliad. This will make things much easier with the designers that help the project, as they shall simply edit their stuff as they usually do.
I started to adapt a basic code snippet published by Joachim Jaeckel

Setting up a shared repository for Iliad development - preliminary thoughts
So here I am, some 14 years later... That's the time that has passed since smalltalk was paying my rent. Yet, history goes in cycles, and it's smalltalk time again. I won't talk much about what I'm working on, as I'm positive I'll end up in being boring about it during the coming months. I'll rather explain why smalltalk, and why gnu-smalltalk in particular.
OnlineTester: Benchmarking
This post describes a session measuring the behavior of an Iliad web application using AJAX request. Memory consumption and run time were investigated for different numbers of simultaneous users.
Spoiler
Memory usage has drastically improved since the first public test session, it is down by about 50%. There is still some room for improvement, but the changes of the last two weeks have been impressive. As far as speed and stability is concerned, the application performs very well, even under (relatively) heavy load.
GNU Smalltalk running under Wine
Well, the summary says it all. . The first small steps were done quite some time ago, by rewriting every shell script that did not really need the shell in C or Smalltalk. Yesterday I finished the job, so that now it's possible to just do ../configure --host=i686-pc-mingw32 && make.
It took a while for two reasons: first because I overlooked wineconsole and it turns out it's a crucial step to running GNU Smalltalk under Wine; second, because GNU Smalltalk runs at build time, and it has to interact with the Unix paths.
