We are looking for submissions for the STIC 2013 Conference - especially anything tied into the history of Smalltalk. We'll be celebrating the 30th anniversary of Smalltalk at the show. So:
STIC is a forum where Smalltalk professionals, researchers and enthusiasts can meet and share ideas and experiences. STIC is currently accepting proposals for talks involving Smalltalk technology and other areas of innovation in the software industry. We’re looking forward to an excellent conference and need your participation to maintain the high technical level of the conference!
We are also looking for academic papers for the “Smalltalk Directions” part of the conference. If you plan to submit a paper, please follow the same directions listed below for presentations. Such papers should address possible future directions for Smalltalk and/or Smalltalk-inspired dynamic languages.
The conference will take place at the Wigwam Resort in Phoenix, Arizona on June 9-12, 2013.
Presentations will have 45 minutes time slots including discussion, and they may be in the form of:
History of Smalltalk – It’s the 30th Anniversary of the language, and we would love to see presentations on this topic.
Technical presentations
Experience reports
Technology demonstrations
Panel discussions
Workshops
Describe your idea to us!
Proposals should be submitted by email to Sts_Speakers@stic.st and should include the following information:
Name
Contact information
Type of presentation
A brief abstract
A short biography for the presenter(s)
Any date/time constraints
Any other information you think we should know
If you cannot discuss the internal application you are working on due to corporate restrictions, perhaps you can discuss the application’s component usage or development process. We also plan to reserve time for short presentations in the form of Lightning Talks and short technology demonstrations, but these will be available for sign-up at the conference rather than as advanced proposals. These talks will be limited to a five- to eight-minute time window. So if you intend to volunteer for one at the conference, please be prepared for that!
Submissions should be received by February 28, 2013, and should be submitted either in PDF or Word (Microsoft) format. Note that submissions with incomplete information may be rejected (particularly if a bio or abstract information is missing).
Presenters will qualify for a discounted registration. If your talk is accepted, we’ll have full details on the specifics.

Today we'll use the XTEA encryption/decryption code we loaded last time. It's a simple tool, and easy to use for small projects without terribly solid encryption needs. To get started, just use code like this: The first 16 characters are your key:
cipher := 'this is my string for encryption/decryption'
xteaEncryptWithKey: 'my encryption key'.
That encrypts; you can inspect the cipher to see the binary data. Next, use the same key to decrypt it:
plain := cipher xteaDecryptWithKey: 'my encryption key' 'this is my string for encryption/decryption'
That's it - for simple use cases, that's all you need.

Welcome to episode 36 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
Michael, Scott, Maki, and James are back to talk about Dragon Born now that it's out for PC. We all like this expansion a lot - and Maki helps tie in the old Morrowind lore to what we're seeing in Solstheim. We went long, so this is split into two parts. Episode 37 will be out soon..
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.
