Bob Westergaard kicks off a post series about Smalltalk ports he has done, with a teaser line:
After some surfing the web, I found something that looked easy to to port. I’ll leave that story for the next post.
I know where this is going, and it’s very cool. Don’t miss it. (The pressure is on, Bob!)
I normally work on a Mac, but my “official” work laptop runs Windows (ok, it also has Linux on it) and I’ve been using it lately to be able to run Strongtalk. So I turn it on today and out of the blue pops up this message.
I think I’ll just go home now.
Two months ago I left Cincom, to reset and refresh a number of things in my work and life. For those few who might care, so far it’s been working out great. Neat things to write about come up like never before, and this looks like the perfect time for a new blog unaffiliated with any particular company or product.
Many thanks to Bob Westergaard for helping me brainstorm the idea of a sufficiently non-committal and yet vaguely relevant title. I like how 3 + 4 and the magical number 7 are related to my interest and involvement with languages and interfaces. They are the creations different and yet very much alike in being two of the many things that try and often fail to make us smart.
