I had to get up an an ungodly (for me, anyway) hour this morning - my daughter's girl scout troop is setting off for a camping trip, and she had to leave the house by 7:45. For me, that's early. So of course I sat down at the PC, and found a Bf bug report. Simple issue - the VW http client code doesn't recognize urls with a # character. Well, that's a problem. One of the cool things about Smalltalk is that - when you find a framework bug like this - you can patch the framework. That's what I did, in addition to raising an internal bug report. This is as opposed to most systems, where you can report the bug to the cendor/maintainer - and hope for the best, developing a hacky work-around in the meantime (if you can). In BottomFeeder terms, this created a problem in spawning a browser on any BlogSpot link - the links to feed items all have # characters. The fix is in now - you can upgrade from the update tool. In the meantime, I should go back to bed....
