And we have a special guest this week, that is Saul Mora! SAUL: Hello from Denver! CHUCK: Denver? I thought you said Fort Collins? Is that not the same thing? SAUL: [laughs] No, that's where the beer is. Okay [laughs] CHUCK: Oh, I see. SAUL: Right. But yeah, that wouldn't be so bad to go and get some beer now. CHUCK: If you go and get too much beer, is it a one-way trip [inaudible]? SAUL: [chuckles] Yeah, well, I have to take some guest with me. CHUCK: Oh, here you go. SAUL: But no...yeah, that's where the New Belgium Brewery is, so I take guests over there quite often. So for anybody comes and visit me in Denver, definitely head on up there. CHUCK: Well I don't drink alcohol, but I'm going to be in Denver this weekend. SAUL: Cool! CHUCK: Maybe I'll come and shake your hand, buy you lunch, or something. SAUL: Yeah! Just let me know! CHUCK: Awesome! ROD: You get to be the driver. [laughter] SAUL: There you go! CHUCK: I don't know what my wife would say about that. [laughter] SAUL: Oh, there are plenty of breweries out here to visit. So, we can visit them anywhere. CHUCK: Awesome! Well this week, we're going to be talking about CoreData. Or, do you call it Core Data? SAUL: [laughs] I thought that was an English thing; Pete might know. PETE: I'll refer to it as Core Data! [laughter] PETE: It's the French pronunciation. I still say Data; it's one of the few English things that I still say in the English way [inaudible]. SAUL: So do you say Beta or Beta? PETE: Oh, that's a good (question). I think I say Beta now just because it's like a -- I was going to say just because it's a software thing, but Beta was a software thing. So, I don't know. SAUL: We have gotten to him! Great! [Chuck laughs] PETE: Yeah. My covers are blown. [laughter] PETE: Actually, I'm native Texan. CHUCK: Yeah, you've seen that? Now you only sound cool when you're talking about things other than computers. PETE: Yup. CHUCK: Alright. So CoreData,

BEN: Have you seen that app "Little Inferno" by the guys who created World of Goo? PETE: Mm-mm BEN: It's a great game. It's on MacHeist right now; I think that's still going on. So if you -- CHUCK: Oh, I saw that! BEN: Anyway, so my son is 3 and he's really adept at using the iPad, but he's never really used the computer before so like the whole mouse thing is totally foreign to him. But, he was watching me play this game and he gave it a shot. He's actually learning the click and drag stuff, which is pretty awesome. PETE: Awesome. BEN: I guess the downside is just learning to burn things... [laughter] CHUCK: Nice! BEN: It's just kind of the point of the game. So...I don't know [laughs]. PETE: Yeah. It's a tradeoff, right? BEN: Yes. PETE: Dragging, clicking, burning... CHUCK: Hey everybody and welcome to Episode 4 of iPhreaks! This week on our show we have, Rod Schimdt. ROD: Hello, hello! CHUCK: Ben Scheirman. BEN: Hello from Houston! CHUCK: Pete Hodgson. PETE: Hello from [inaudible], San Francisco! CHUCK: I'm Charles Max Wood from devchat.tv. This week we have a special guest, and that is Josh Abernathy. Did I say that right? JOSH: Yeah! Yeah, you said it right. CHUCK: If that's more than 2 syllables, I'm going to screw it up. JOSH: [laughs] People always get turn off because it's long, but it's just like it looks. CHUCK: Oh, I see. So, do you want to introduce yourself really quickly? JOSH: Yeah! I'm Josh Abernathy. I work at GitHub on the GitHub for Mac App, and various other side things. And yeah, I've been doing Mac and iOS stuff for quite a while now. So hopefully, I'll have something interesting to say about the topic. CHUCK: So is there a GitHub app for iOS? JOSH: We have a couple different iOS Apps. There's an Issues App and there's a Jobs App, neither of them are particularly well-maintained at the moment. So, we kind of try to pretend we don't have any iOS Apps. CHUCK: I see. PETE: I actually tried to use the Issues App the other day... [Josh laughs] PETE: And then I went and look...Is it open source? Is it available kind of the code -- JOSH: No...

PETE: So what are we talking about this Tuesday morning? CHUCK: I'm not sure, but I think we should write a test for it first. CHUCK: Hey everybody and welcome to Episode 3 of iPhreaks! This week on our panel we have, Pete Hodgson. PETE: Hello from Butte Lake! [Ben laughs] CHUCK: Ben Scheirman...Butte Lake... BEN: Very well done. Very well done. [Ben laughs] CHUCK: Ben Scheirman. BEN: Hello from Houston! CHUCK: We also have, Rod Schimdt. ROD: Hello from Salt Lake City! CHUCK: Sorry, Rod. I was looking at Pete's picture and I was like "No, I already said Pete". [laughter] BEN: Yeah, for those who didn't get the joke we were looking at the transcription from last episode, or from episode 1. And -- CHUCK: Did that get fixed? PETE: It got fixed, yeah. BEN: Okay. So originally, Pete said he's from Berkeley and it came through as Butte Lake, which I thought was hilarious. PETE: I was pretty -- I was looking for the transcript -- it's pretty hilarious how much my accent has closed issues. For whatever personal machine is doing that transcription is definitely challenged by my accent. CHUCK: We're really sorry to the transcriptionist. PETE: Yeah. [laughter] CHUCK: We will pick our panelist more carefully next time. PETE: Oh! It's my fault, huh? [laughter] CHUCK: Anyway...And you can tell I had to ask if it got fixed because I just asked Mandy to do it and assume it's done. PETE: Yeah. No, she fixed it. She fixed it very very quickly. CHUCK: Yeah. PETE: And I'm used to that. I'm living in a [inaudible] when you found out like you have automated voice systems. They often don't work with British accent so I have to put on like a stupid American accent when I'm...operator! [laughter] PETE: Reservations. [laughter] CHUCK: It's funny, too, because a lot of times on those automated systems, they have somebody with a British accent or a fake British accent like speaking. BEN: Yeah. PETE: Yeah. But they didn't understand British. Siri didn't understand British for a very long time because you couldn't get like, if you lived in the US, you couldn't get American, so you couldn't get British Siri to work with like American information. So if I wanted to actually know about anything about America like where I live, I'd have to use the American version Siri, but she couldn't understand my pronunciation. [Ben laughs] CHUCK: So is the British Siri more polite?
