As a follow-up on my previous post on Smalltalk blogs, Giovanni blogs on Squeak and Seaside, and recently started to write posts in English.
On Smalltalk

On Smalltalk is a great blog on Smalltalk and Seaside by Ramon Leon. Go read it now!
…and since it was kinda asked for in the comments, I’ll complete this post with my partial list of other blogs from the Smalltalk community. First there is a planet-style meta-blog that already aggregates most of the blogs in this list, and the weekly squeak news. Then, from my Smalltalk RSS subscriptions, the most notable entries are blogs by:
- Avi Bryant, author of Seaside and DabbleDB;
- James Robertson, product manager at Cincom,
- and Serge Stinckwich who is part of the irreductible french smalltalkers :)
To more precisely answer Sébastien’s comment, the recent community news I’d note would be the open-sourcing of Strongtalk, the Squeak license changes to APSL 2 then Apache, and that Smalltalk in general is indeed benefiting from the current momentum in dynamic languages, thanks to Python, Ruby, and again Seaside.
On the Squeak side, 3.9 final was recently released, and it’s a great step from a happy mess to an environment more suitable for serious playing, especially with traits, the cleaner closure compiler, Damien Cassou’s image for developers, and Craig Latta’s promising spoon…
Say hello to Lighttpd

… and bye to Apache 2!
I just switched my web server to Lighttpd. The configuration file was quite easy to write without too much RTFMing besides the docs on the Rails wiki.
Disclaimer: This is just quickly tested so it’s probably broken in some way… anyway, we’ll see :-)
Update: I’ve also upgraded typo to get the latest stuff from SVN. Had to migrate my development database by hand (SQlite migrations will be in the next Rails release) and to update all the posts to add tags and clean the categories. And in the process I think I blacklisted myself from technorati by pinging them a little too much during the last hour… oh well :-)
And yet another attempt at being serious about blogging

My new server is now configured well enough to replace the old one. Being cornered between PhD and unemployment, I'll try to keep that blog alive longer than the previous ones... we'll see.
Oh, and since I'd like to learn rails in actual practice, I'll probably be tweaking directly this instance of typo. No fun in tweaking things if there is no risk :)
It's 4:30 and the CSS looks OK

Spent too much night hours tweaking Justin Palmer's Azure CSS for Typo, and now I have my own personalized weblog appearance. Whee.
Yet another blog!

So I finally managed to get Typo installed and running with some decent performances. Stay tuned!
