Personal info for AdamSpitz
Name: Adam Spitz
Homepage: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?AdamSpitz
Notes:
I've been a Smalltalker for about four years now, but didn't pay much attention to Squeak until last summer when I started listening to Dave Ungar's ramblings about object-oriented operating systems. I decided that the idea was good, and that Squeak was the closest system out there to the place that I want to go.
These days I'm using Squeak as an e-mail client and text editor and file manager and RSS reader and MP3 player and IRC client. If we ever make a decent ICQ client and web browser, I'll be able to ignore my underlying OS entirely. That would make me really happy. :)
These days I'm involved with Celeste (mostly because it needed a maintainer and nobody else volunteered), and I've been doing some cleanup work too (mostly because I suspect that Squeak will start evolving much more quickly once more people have the authority to improve it). I've got a few side projects of my own, too, but those aren't ready for public consumption yet.
In the future, I'd like to see Squeak borrow some language ideas and UI ideas from Self (and a few other places, too). Smalltalk feels kinda stagnant to me these days. It's still awesome compared to the mainstream, but that's no reason to stand still. ;)

Recent diary entries for AdamSpitz:
I've been telling my friends about how awesome Celeste's spam filter is, but I forgot that it wasn't actually a part of the official Celeste package yet. So yesterday I integrated it. I haven't put it up on SqueakMap yet, though.
My problem is that the code is actually better-factored now, and some parts of it might actually be reusable, which means that I'd like it to be separated into different packages on SqueakMap, which means that I'd like to have proper package dependencies and tools that make it easier for me to manage multiple packages, and... bah. We've gotta get some of this stuff done. Maybe somebody should start a revolution.
