Interviewed on Linux Outlaws and The Command Line podcasts

Oct 31, 2009
1 comment

I was recently interviewed on both The Linux Outlaws and The Command Line podcasts. While the interviews are general coverage of my life so far, I did manage to sneak a bit of Smalltalk and Seaside content into both of them. I especially made it clear that I've been hacking Smalltalk since 1982, long before Perl was even around.

The Linux Outlaws interview came about because a group of us open-source podcasters were talking about "bumper trading", where we make up 30-second promos for our show, and then send it to others in exchange for playing their bumper on our show. I don't play other people's bumpers on FLOSS Weekly, but I said that in exchange for interviewing me on someone's show, I'd be sure to mention that show on the following show of mine. I've heard that because of my mention of Outlaws on FLOSS, they had to upgrade to the next hosting plan for the rapid increase in downloads. Good work, guys!

The Command LIne show is one of the best produced shows I've heard. The host reads from a fully prepared script, and the resulting show has detailed show notes and chapters and well-produced musical stingers to identify each portion of the show. It's definitely on my "must listen" list, even if I must skip forward to different parts (easy, thanks to chapter marks) if I'm in a hurry.

Now reading the Squeak News for Industry Misinterpretations

James Robertson of the weekly Smalltalk Industry Misinterpretations podcast has graciously offered me the opportunity to add a short weekly Squeak News segment to his podcast. I'll be selecting the most recent posts from news.squeak.org, and reading them at varying speeds, depending on the amount of news. Hear the result at the current podcast, and subscribe to get future (weekly) releases.

It would be really cool if my appearance reading the Squeak News gets picked up for Squeak News, so I'll be reading an article from Squeak News for the podcast about reading the articles from Squeak News for the podcast. Turtles all the way down!

In yet another overlap of my interests, Dan Ingalls (co-inventor of Smalltalk and co-creator of Squeak and the Lively Kernel) agreed to be interviewed for my FLOSS "Weekly" show, and the show is now available. Check it out... great interview (thanks Dan!).

Mentioned Seaside on "The Future And You"

I was interviewed by noted futurist Stephen Euin Cobb for his podcast, The Future And You. If you skip ahead to about the fifty-five minute mark, you'll hear me rave about Seaside and describe my recent activities. I also rant about why Muni Wifi will never work, and why a pacemaker shouldn't have an IP address amongst a dozen other topics. Enjoy!

Interviewed for "Industry Misinterpretations"

James Robertson and David "K" Buck interviewed me for the Industry Misinterpretations podcast. It was a lot of fun, and I got to talk about my history with Smalltalk, my views on open source advocacy (coming from my Perl background) and my future predictions for Seaside and Smalltalk. Can't wait to hear it when it gets posted!

FLOSS Weekly episode 23: Yahoo User Interface library

OK, so it's not strictly smalltalk, but bear with me for a second.

My FLOSS "Weekly" interview with Nate Koechley of Yahoo just hit the feed. We chat about the Yahoo User Interface library, allowing rich interactions that are supported across all A-list browsers. Check out out to learn about why I'm pretty excited about using YUI for web development.

The Smalltalk tie-in is that I'm creating a Seaside library for Squeak that integrates YUI, much like Scriptaculous is also integrated. This will bring a comprehensive and ever expanding set of interactions for all browsers to Seaside! Cool!
