She came down the aisle to the Imperial March. AVDI: [laughs] JOSH: No way. JAMES: Yeah, she did. That was awesome. And then they had one of their friends do a non-traditional ceremony and including quotes from The Princess Bride like “Wuv… twue wuv…” CHUCK: [laughs] That’s awesome! JAMES: Yup. Great wedding.

This week on our panel we have James Edward Gray. JAMES: Who can’t find mute button. Hi everybody! CHUCK: We also have Josh Susser. JOSH: James, I believe it is right next to the missile launch button on your console. JAMES: Oh! CHUCK: I need a new keyboard that has a missile launch buttons on it. Avdi Grimm. AVDI: Hi I'm Avdi. Head Chef at rubytapas.com. CHUCK: David Brady. DAVID: This podcast requires version 12.2 or higher of David Brady and will remain compatible through version 14. CHUCK: And I'm Charles Max Wood from devchat.tv. This week, we are going to be talking about APIs and it’s probably going to be different from what you are imagining. But before we do that, we want to do the Best of Parley and James is going to take us away with that. JAMES: Yes, I'm being punished for missing recording a week. Actually on Best of Parley, I did a thread a little bit, a while back, it wasn’t this week, but it was I'm preparing this new talk for Aloha Ruby Conf in Hawaii and I asked for some input on the list and there was a great discussion on that. But, that is not my pick because it actually spun this other talk that did start this week on everybody asking… I was asking for kind of “Stupid Ruby Tricks” and now, people are asking for “Stupid Git Tricks”. There’s only been like three messages in this thread so far and I have learned like 65 things about Git that I didn’t know before. So, really awesome thread on Parlay for just picking up a lot of cool tricks with Git and version control. CHUCK: Awesome. JOSH: So James, somebody forked your thread? JAMES: Yup. Guess so. [laughter] DAVID: That was the sound of four mute buttons being frantically searched for. [laughter] CHUCK: I forked a thread and that’s how we got the fantasy thread that you brought up a couple of weeks ago. JAMES: That’s right. That was great. CHUCK: But I didn’t hi-jacked the thread, I just created a new thread that was the old thread.
