Today's Smalltalk Daily looks at running 32 bit VisualWorks on a 64 bit Linux installation. To get it working, you need to install the 32 bit libs, which typically aren't installed in the base 64 bit distro. I also did a write up of what's covered in this screencast here.

Today's Smalltalk Daily looks at how to add cookies to a WebVelocity 1.1 web component. Since WebVelocity 1.1 is built on Seaside 3.0, this is a whole lot easier than it used to be. If you're using WebVelocity 1.0 (or Seaside 2.8 outside of WebVelocity), then have a look at this screencast in order to see how it used to work. The code to add a cookie is really simple - here's the trivial example from the screencast:

renderContentOn: html
	| response cookie |
	response := self requestContext response.
	cookie := self requestContext newCookie.
	cookie key: 'helloCookie'.
	cookie value: '2'.
	cookie comment: 'Example Only'.
	response addCookie: cookie.
	html text: 'Hello There'.
