Today's Smalltalk 4 You looks at the Pharo Launcher in Pharo - it works somewhat like the project launcher for VisualWorks, but it's specific to the Mac (and OS X Lion at that). You can find it in the app store. 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:

In our previous post we used Chef to install GemStone/S 64 Bit into Cloud Foundry. Now we add code so that GemStone is recognized as a service offered by Cloud Foundry.

I think it's time to seriously consider ending copyrights and patents completely. Ask yourself - could a complete free for all be worse than what we have now?
While most of the tech world was partying at South by Southwest in Austin yesterday, Yahoo announced it was filing a lawsuit against Facebook for allegedly infringing on 10 patents from their 1,000+ patent warehouse.
As if all of that crap Yahoo claims as their work wasn't already done on some BBS system back in the early 90's. Seriously - wipe the slate clean, and just start over.
Today's Smalltalk 4 You looks at log4s (a logging framework) in VA Smalltalk. Today we just scratch the surface; there will be more screencasts on this topic. 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:

Today we'll look at the logging framework that ships with VA Smalltalk - log4s (A Smalltalk port of the well known log4J package). It's already in your image, so there's no need to load it from ENVY. There are a couple of different ways to get started, but today we'll look at setting it up via the ini file. Every VA image has a corresponding (same base name) ini file - you'll want to append a new "stanza" to it. Here we are setting up a basic file logger, using the default root level logger. You can have multiple logging streams (each filtered separately) on a single logger; today we'll just look at a simple file logger. Here's the way we define that in the ini file:
What that sets up is a file logger off the root (technically, a new appender - each logger can have any number of appenders associated with it). When you log something, it will appear in that log file (we specified vaLog.log above). The pattern specified how the log entry appears; the VA documentation goes through in great detail how you can customize that. To log a warning, you can do something like this:
"simple log event"
EsLogManager warn: 'This is a warning, beware!'
One caveat - the doc talks about class LogManager, while it's actually EsLogManager. The output for what we did above?
We'll get into filtering, programmatic setup and more in the future screencasts

Today's Smalltalk 4 You continues our examination fo log4s, setting up a new logging channel (called an appender in the framework). 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:

Today we'll add a new logging stream (called an appender in the framework) using log4s. The same information gets logged to all streams for a given logger; we'll look at how to add new loggers in another screencast. First, recall how we specified the root level logger in the VA ini file:
Now, if we send that logging event again, it'll not only go to the file, but also to the Transcript:
We'll get into setting up new loggers in a future screencast

I'm not going to give away any spoilers in this post - I'll link to this, which explains in very good detail what's wrong with the ending. Which is too bad, really - the rest of ME3 is quite good.
Here's what BioWare should do: release DLC that gives players the kinds of ending choices discussed in the linked article.
