Hi All, Sorry for the late answer, I've been swallowed by a vortex of "too much work at my day job".
Regarding the magical power of smalltalk, I definitely agree with that. I've been playing with different programming languages for 30 years now, and smalltalk programming is so refreshing, it's almost like manipulating real physical objects, the process of building an app feels way more creative this way. Regarding my quick hack for managing the wifi at home, unfortunately there is not so much smalltalk magic involved. Pharo is just used as a UI to launch shell scripts on a linux server. This server is inbetween a wifi access point and the ISP router. So, as you probably have guessed, all the wifi traffic goes trough this server, then it's easy to use the linux firewall (iptable) to allow/deny traffic. I'll continue playing/hacking on this small app and I'll publish the end result.
