Personal info for schcats

Notes: I'm a PhD student at the University of Arizona Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. There, I'm working on a multi-disciplinary project called "the 24-Hour Knowledge Factory" where we aim to make intellectual property development a 24-hour process. I've been a Python convert since March of '99 where scripting languages caused a major paradigm shift for me. My interest in Squeak came through a Smalltalk (VisualWorks) course which I TA'd for the U ofA. I'm interested in Morphic and making small educational programs, etc.
Recent diary entries for schcats:
Well...recently, I have a very small flash-card like program for creating small adding/subtracting programs for my 5 yo daughter. However, and this is a *big* however, I'm having more than a little trouble packaging it for use by wee ones.I've viewed much of the relevant posts, documentation, etc on the Squeak swiki...but it seems much if it is badly out of date. For instance: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/786 refers to Ned Konz's lockdown package. This package seems to have been largely incorporated in (at least) images 3.8 and 3.9 but even there, the Preferences disableProgrammerFacilities is still a little broken.
If anyone should read this entry, I would be most appreciative of tips/tricks on simplifying the UI (removing halos, etc).
