I Updated to the New Update Method 
As per the instructions at support.opml.org, I updated the OPML Editor. I'm excited about all the changes that Dave has been adding.
I'm slowly coming to terms with the fact that, as far as the OPML Editor is concerned, I probably am more of a fan than a mover and a shaker. It's not that I couldn't be more of a contributor, rather that I'm just stretched too thin right now. Another factor in the equation is that my attention wanders so quickly. I'm not quite ADD but I can relate.
I do love the OPML Editor though. I think I'll just cheer lead a while and maybe I'll get back into contributor mode before long.
I spent some time renewing my acquaintance with Squeak, a free version of Smalltalk. While the language has been mature for years, I got the impression that the Squeak environment has matured a good bit in the year or so since I last looked at it.
One thing that they've added is a package manager. It's nice to be able to install packages directly from the internet like you would in other modern programming languages. From what I can tell at first glance their automated dependency handling is non existent. Of course I may have just overlooked it.
Another thing that is very cool is the "scripting" capability. It is basically an iconic way of expressing Squeak's message passing syntax. According to the Squeakland web site the scripting capability is readily understood by precocious second graders and most third graders.
For those that have never heard of Smalltalk, it was written by Alan Kay and a group of researchers at Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) and served as the inspiration for Apple's Lisa computer which was the forerunner of the Macintosh.
