Welcome to episode 145 of Independent Misinterpretations - a Smalltalk and dynamic language oriented podcast with James Robertson and David Buck.
This week Dave and James talk about aspects of Smalltalk (differing a bit between implementations) can "break" the tools. For example - messages constructed via string concatenation and then turned into symbols are effectively invisible to the senders/implementors tools.
You can subscribe to the podcast in iTunes (or any other podcatching software) using this feed directly or in iTunes with this one.
To listen now, you can either download the mp3 edition, or the AAC edition. The AAC edition comes with chapter markers. You can subscribe to either edition of the podcast directly in iTunes; just search for Smalltalk and look in the Podcast results. You can subscribe to the mp3 edition directly using this feed, or the AAC edition using this feed using any podcatching software. You can also download the podcast in ogg format.
If you like the music we use, please visit Josh Woodward's site. We use the song Troublemaker for our intro/outro music. I'm sure he'd appreciate your support!
If you have feedback, send it to jarober@gmail.com - or visit us on Facebook - you can subscribe in iTunes using this iTunes enabled feed.. If you enjoy the podcast, pass the word - we would love to have more people hear about Smalltalk!

The monitor I have been using for my work laptop has been slowly dying - each morning, it's taken a number of plug/unplug tries with the VGA cable to get it going. Well, on Friday it finally went. Now - once you get used to working on two screens, it's nearly impossible to go back - just working today on one screen (the main laptop one) was painful). At the same time, I didn't want to spend a small fortune on a monitor for the work laptop. So.... Amazon to the rescue. I found a Hannspree 16" LCD screen
Yes, it's small, but the old one was a 15" (square) one, so it's really not much different now. And I can get back to my normal levels of productivity.
