Continue and Break in Ottawa
The second part of the Superpowers Workshop of the Ottawa Smalltalk user's group caught my interest. The attendees are discussing on how to implement break and continue in Smalltalk.
Pharo by Example
The open-source book Pharo by Example has been announced. It is a new, improved and adapted version of Squeak by Example to Pharo, the new Smalltalk that is quickly approaching its 1.0 release. One of the particularly exciting additions to the book is the chapter Seaside by Example.
Diff in Pier
An integrated diff viewer for Pier is long overdue. The latest development version of Pier has a first implementation with a simple GUI. The implementation is not perfect, but it already starts to be quite useful for the engineering course here at the university.
Gofer — Monticello and Groups of Packages
Gofer, a person who runs errands. Origin 1960s: from go for, i.e. go and fetch.
The New Oxford American Dictionary

Preparing for ESUG 2009
I am currently preparing for the International Smalltalk Conference (ESUG) in Brest, France.
London Geek Night
I have some pictures to share for people that missed the London Geek Nights with the title Seaside: The Revenge of Smalltalk last Monday. The following shot was taken shortly before I started with my presentation, an introduction to the basic concepts of Seaside. The slides are available online.
