This week on our panel, we have James Edward Gray. JAMES:  Hello everyone. CHUCK:  Avdi Grimm. AVDI:  Hey from Pennsylvania. CHUCK:  David Brady. DAVID:  Hey everybody. I’m really excited to be here today because I’ve been stalking Ara for about seven years now. And the closest I’ve come is I filled in for him at MountWest Ruby Conf last year when he couldn’t make it to the conference. I took his speaker slot. CHUCK:  So, the closest you’ve ever gotten is him not being there. DAVID:  Yes. [Laughter] CHUCK:  Alright. We also have Katrina Owen. KATRINA:  Hi, I’m very excited to be here today because I’ve missed the last two episodes due to being stuck in a time travel paradox. CHUCK:  Wow! JAMES:  Ouch! CHUCK:  I’m Charles Max Wood from DevChat.tv. You have one week left to sign up for Rails Ramp Up. And we have a special guest. That is Ara T. Howard. Is that how you want to be introduced? ARA:  That will do just fine. CHUCK:  Alright. Since you haven’t been on the show before,
