Thu'umcast 13: Stabby Stabby Stabby

December 22, 2011 1:55:30.664

Thu'umcast

Welcome to episode 13 of "Thu'umcast" - a podcast where Michael Lucas-Smith, Scott Dirk, Austin Haley, Makahlua and I document our trials and tribulations in Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

We talk about the Dark Brotherhood quest in detail, from start to finish (with plenty of sidetracks along the way, of course)

If you liked our work on That Podcast, you'll probably like this. We intend to stay with the same idea - a gameplay podcast. If you don't want spoilers, don't listen - we are going to be talking about how we play the game, and what we ran across as we played.

You can subscribe in iTunes (or any podcatcher) using this feed, or this one for the AAC edition. We'll add the iTunes specific links as soon as they are available. In the meantime, join the Facebook Group and follow us on Twitter. If you play on Steam, join the Steam Group. Like the music? Pay Sbeast a visit, we thank him for letting us use it!

Links to all episodes and other information can be found on the Thu'umcast page.

Epic Fail

December 28, 2011 2:20:41.536

This thread over on Penny Arcade is about as close to a "how not to do marketing" tutorial as you'll ever get. Here's my question: how does a guy (the Ocean Marketing guy, to be clear) end up in a public facing position when it's so obvious that he has no people skills?

ST 4U 174: Cloning an ENVY Repository

December 28, 2011 10:56:53.735

Today's Smalltalk 4 You covers cloning a full ENVY repository. If you have trouble viewing it here in the browser, you can also navigate directly to YouTube. To watch now, click on the image below:

Cloning an ENVY Repository.

If you have trouble viewing that directly, you can click here to download the video directly. If you need the video in a Windows Media format, then download that here.

You can also watch it on YouTube:


Today we'll look at how you clone an existing VA Smalltalk ENvy repository - i.e., make a full copy of it. To start, go to the System menu in the launcher and select Change User - you'll need to become Library Supervisor to do this:

Change User

Change User

Now, pull down the System menu again, and select Clone Library:

Clone

You'll be prompted for a server address. If you have an ENVY server setup, use that - we'll be using File I/O, so we'll leave it blank:

Repository Address

Next we'll get prompted for the file and directory to use. Do not select the current repository!

Repository Name

This may take awhile, depending on how large your repository is. Select 16GB as the size when prompted, and let it run. When it completes, you'll see a message in the Transcript. To show that it's a full clone, let's reconnect to the new repository:

Change Library

The system will chug for a bit, and then show you that everything is fine:

Changed Repository

At this point, you can browse your published apps and config maps to prove things to yourself. You now have a clean repository that you could hand off to another VA Smalltalk user.

Need more help? There's a screencast for other topics like this which you may want to watch. Questions? Try the "Chat with James" Google gadget over in the sidebar.

Build Tool Updated

December 29, 2011 18:39:50.000

I noticed last week in one of the mailing lists that the build tool I published awhile ago (BuilderBundle in the Cincom Repository) was out of date. I did much of the work for that in VW 7.6 (which the shop I work in is still using) - but I did update the tools to 7.8 earlier this year for one of the internal customers we have that is on 7.8. Long story short, I finally updated the package. It should work in in anything from 7.6 on up, but you should verify that yourself :)
