On Smalltalk

Just a quick notification that I updated my squeak image.

It’s based on Damien Cassou’s latest Squeak Dev Image (Squeak 3.9.1), an awesome base image with all the necessary goodies a developer needs. This image is a bit smaller than previous ones because I’ve taken Glorp out since I’m not currently using it anymore. I’ve also dumped the windows native fonts and use different default fonts due to my working from both Windows and Linux these days.

rST (Remote Smalltalk) is now loaded because I plan on experimenting with it a bit. OSProcess is part of my default setup as well, on the Linux side, it’s quite useful.

Just a quick notification that I updated my squeak image (several of you have asked).

It’s based on Damien Cassou’s latest Squeak Dev Image (Squeak 3.9), an awesome base image with all the necessary goodies a developer needs. Of course I’ve loaded up my window customizations and preferences, nicer looking fonts, and have all the preferences set the way I like.

Nothing major in this update other than keeping up with the latest versions of everything I use. I have removed the SentorsaBrowser and TrickRefractoringBrowser because the new OmniBrowser is just getting too good to use anything else. Enjoy.

The main update here is Squeaks great new UI enhancements from Gary Chambers and Seaside 2.8.

Just a quick notification that I’ve updated my squeak image. I do this occasionally to keep my base up to date with the latest and greatest of the frameworks I use.

In this update I sharing my current 3.9 image. It’s based on Damien Cassou’s Squeak Dev Image, an awesome base image with all the necessary goodies a developer needs. Of course I’ve loaded up my window customizations and preferences, nicer looking fonts, and have all the preferences set the way I like.

This image includes PostgreSQL drivers and Glorp, since I’m now doing some development with them and consider them part of my base tool set. If my image isn’t to your liking, I highly recommend learning to build and maintain your own using Damien’s as a starting point. It will save you a lot of time, and he’s done an awesome job building and sharing these images. Thanks Damien.
