If you use VisualWorks, you might find the Blue Magic tools of interest - watch these two screencasts they've pushed up. They are a bit old (2 years), but I hadn't seen them before:
Well, today's delay was a good two hours - and the excitement didn't end there. The plane stopped short of the runway, the flight deck door opened, and one of the attendants took up a blocking position while one of the crew came out to look at something. A few minutes later the captain announced that there was a bigger gap between the door and the outside than the attendants thought was normal, but he figured it was ok (nervous laughter throughout the plane) - so he said we were going to head out anyway.
That was strange enough, but then a guy walks past me (I was sitting in 8D) from the back, into first class, and goes into the bathroom. None of the attendants take any notice. Ok, fine - up in first, the attendant there is taking drink orders, when suddenly we start racing down the runway, taking her by surprise - she had to sprint back to her jumpseat.

The basic browsers in VA Smalltalk are not your only option - you can also load the Trailblazer tools, which look and behave a little differently. Today we'll look at a few basics for Trailblazer, starting with how to get the tools loaded. First, open the Load features UI:
Next, scroll down, select Trailblazer, and move it to the right:
Note the message in the transcript - the Trailblazer tools are not on by default. To turn them on, go to the Tools menu, and toggle the Trailblazer option on:
Now, open the Configuration Maps Browser, and you'll see a different tool than what we've looked at previously:
Try opening the Application browser - you'll see that's different as well:
Remember that you can now toggle this on and off from the Tools menu - if you end up preferring the base tools, just turn Trailblazer off.

Today we'll be going back to the VASTGoodies.com site, and walking through the process of contributing code to the site. Using the tools we downloaded last time, this is pretty easy. First, we load the goodies into our image. Then, in a Configuration Maps Browser, select a configuration and note the two new items towards the bottom:
Select Edit Annotations to bring up a properties window. This is how you specify the various bits of information that appear on the website itself, giving information to other users about you:
Select the Project tab to fill in details about your project:
Now, hit the Ok button, and go back to the Configuration Map Browser. Select the Publish to VASTGoodies.com option in the menu:

This week Dave Buck and I interviewed Cincom's Product Manager for Smalltalk, Arden Thomas. We spoke about the recent releases of VisualWorks and ObjectStudio, about the product roadmaps for both products. We also asked about the current inaccessibility of te NC product on the Cincom Smalltalk website - Arden had some answers for us on that score towards the end of the first part of the podcast. The discussion went for about an hour, so the podcast is split in two - part one today, part two next week. Enjoy!
