Janko informed me that the podcast I and Craig Latta did last week
on James Robertson's blog is now up.

I answered questions on a lot of topics off the top of my head. Last
Tuesday was a busy day, and so perhaps I can be forgiven for not
getting everything exactly correct. Janko added a comment on the IM
forum about Aida:
Re: IM 100: Squeak Board
Update
Hi guys,
Just a
comment about Aida/Web presumably not supported on Squeak: Aida
is always released on VW and Squeak/Pharo. Aida is designed and
developed all the time with portability in mind. To all
Smalltalks, not just for that or another camp. We'd like that
Smalltalkers as such a small community unite, not divide
ourselves!
In last
year or two Aida is always ported and tested on Pharo first. It
is true that previous version of Aida was ported but not tested
on Squeak, because previous Pharo ports worked on Squeak
automatically. Yet on latest Squeak 4.2 not which we discovered
in a squeak.org upgrading week Chris Cunningham mentioned in
above interview. But this small glitch doesn't mean Squeak is
not supported at all! Contrary, even that I admit I didn't have
much time in a week we agreed to work together on website
upgrade, a patched Aida was provided in few days and announced
on the list Chris followed as well. So Chris, if you lost
interest on migrating squeak.org so fast, you should at least be
honest and don't spread false information around. An information
you should know it is not true.
To my knowledge Aida still isn't working on Squeak. That's pretty
much why I said that in a podcast. If it is, then that's news to me.
And nobody is too busy to say "I don't/didn't have much time in/this
a week we agreed to work together on website upgrade", which is not
an mailing list post I recall reading at the time. In situations
like these its more likely that I'm ignorant more than
Machiavellian. I imagine if Colin Putney listens to my description
of Environments in the podcast, he'll slap his forehead. Oh well. :p
