PDF From Pharo
Need to produce PDF from Pharo? Then you might want to have a look at Artefact:
My project is in progress and many things are not finalized (no documentation, not enough unit tests, etc.). But, you can produce PDF documents with metadata, multiple page formats in a same document, draw tables, write text and paragraphs, play with colors and grey levels.

ST 4U 224: Getting Started With OLE Controls in VA Smalltalk

Today we'll start looking at using OLE components in VA Smalltalk - starting off with the simplest example possible: using the graphics control to display a bitmap graphic. First, load the OLE support (VA OLE support) from the features tool:
Next, open up the VA Organizer and create a new application and (visual) part:
That will take you to the composition editor. On the lower left side of the tools section, you should see a new "OLE" category. Select that, and then pick the first (OLE Client) control from the list:
Right click on the part, and go to settings. Towards the bottom, you should see "sourcePath". We are going to hit the chooser, and select the BMP file to drop in here.
It should render immediately:
Finally, go to the File menu and select "Test". You should see your graphic in a new window:

Skyrim DLC Inbound?
it looks like the long wait for Skyrim DLC might be ending (at least for those of us with Xboxes):
After a few weeks of teasing, Bethesda may actually announce the downloadable content for Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim soon. Bethesda's PR man Pete Hines said today that more information could be released as early as next week.
Given my work/travel schedule, the new DLC could easily ship while I'm Dallas, leaving me cursing about the exclusive too...

Today we'll use the VA OLE support to embed a Windows application into a VA Smalltalk window. We'll use a standard editor - WordPad. To get started, open the VA Organizer, create a new application and part, and add in an OLE client control (To see those steps, refer to this tutorial.
Double click on the client part, scroll down to "clientName", and select one of the available options from the drop down. THe list will vary based on what you have installed on your system; we'll pick WordPad, which should always be available:
Next, we'll change decorationPolicy and focusDecorationPolicy to XmNONE - this will remove any application borders, embedding the tool completely into our window:
Finally, go to File>>Test, and see the embedding in action:

Exhibit A in Why Patents Have Gone Rogue
It's things like this that make me think we would be better off with no patent or copyright law, compared to what we have now:
A Colorado man says Apple’s smart cover for the new iPad and the iPad 2 violate his 2005 patent for a “Portable Computer Case.”
That doesn't mean that a complete absence of copyrights and patents would be a good thing; it simply means that things are so bad now that a complete free for all would actually be an improvement. What should really be done is a full repeal of copyright and patent law, with a reset to whatever existed after the first set of laws passed at the founding of the Republic....
