DAVID: Hey everybody! In honor of the Mass Effect 3 ending, I'm going to spend the last 10 minutes of this podcast showing you the ultimate way to repair your car! CHUCK: Josh Susser. JOSH: Here I come to save the day. DAVID: Yey! CHUCK: James Edward Grey. JAMES: According to Twitter, I am the “laughing bird” of this podcast. [laughter] AVDI: Who is the drinking bird? JOSH: That would be you! DAVID: Is that your answer on Jeopardy? CHUCK: I'm Charles Max Wood from devchat.tv and this week, we have a special guest and that's Katrina Owen. KATRINA: Hello! CHUCK: Since you’re new to the show, do you want to introduce yourself really quick? KATRINA: Sure. I've been doing Ruby for about 2 years. I did this at a small product development company in Oslo, Norway. CHUCK: Oh. JOSH: What did you do before Ruby? KATRINA: Do we have to talk about this? [laughter] JOSH: No. JAMES: Oh! It's shameful. CHUCK: She lives in the land of the chosen frozen. And she doesn't want to talk about what she did before Ruby. KATRINA: So I actually, I can reveal that I wrote PHP for a fashion company in Los Angeles. CHUCK: Wow. JAMES: Way to find the pain point right off the bat, Josh. [laughter] DAVID: I am coming out of the cold but you moved to Norway. KATRINA: Yeah, I've been back and forth a few times. JOSH: Sorry about that Katrina. Welcome to the show! How are you today? KATRINA: Thank you. I'm fine. How are you? CHUCK: Aren’t we supposed to start the show off? Go on. So did you guys do anything interesting this week?
