Really, it's not going to have any effect of what I’m doing in like, a week. Let alone a year. AVDI: But Peter but someone is wrong on the Internet! PETER: Exactly. CHUCK: Where? Where? This podcast is sponsored by New Relic. To track and optimize your application performance go to rubyrogues.com/new relic. CHUCK: Hey everybody and welcome to episode 42 of the Ruby Rogues podcast. This week, we have a special returning guess rogue, that's Peter Cooper! PETER: Hello! CHUCK: So if you’re not familiar with Peter, we’ll have him introduce himself. PETER: Yeah I was on, I think 10 or so episodes and I have fall off because of my training that I was doing. But if you are in the Ruby community, you may know me. I'm the guy that ran Ruby Inside for a long period of time and now I seem to have semi-abandoned it unfortunately. But I now run Ruby Weekly, Weekly Newsletter and I’m on the Ruby show podcast with Jason Seifer and few other things like RubyFlow which is sort of community news that anyone post to. So, all over the place. CHUCK: Yup we also have Avdi Grimm. AVDI: Hello, Hello! CHUCK: We also have James Edward Gray. JAMES: I think I may be the high energy panellist today. Everybody else is asleep. CHUCK: (I am.) I'm Charles Max Wood from teachmetocode.com and really quickly, I just wanna mention (because I have people coming to me and going, you do other podcast? I didn’t know that!) So real quickly I’m going to let you know what's out there. There is JavaScript Jabber, where talk about JavaScript, there is Ruby Freelancers, where we talk about freelancing and Ruby. I also do teachmetocode.com. I have a podcast there and a series of screencast. I haven’t done those in a while but I'm going to put them back up so they are on the docket. So keep an eye out for new stuff there Anyway so we're talking about Peter stuff today. PETER: That sounds so big headed. James came to me and he said because I’d be back in the show, I thought it was for some more kind of like general, like the concept of media and selling screencast and all that type of thing in the Ruby space. And then asked you yesterday that you were like, oh yeah, the show is about you. I'm like, what? JAMES: So it’s like, it’s all about you; we just wanna know what makes you tick. PETER: Because we have so many cool people in the space like Ryan Bates is now doing the RailsCasts Pro and Geoffrey Grosenbach been an inspiration to all of us in some respect, I’m sure.
