Host Spotlights Patrick: Ghostbuster’s Theme on eight floppy drives – YouTube Louis: What the #$%@ is UX Design? – YouTube Kevin: Flight of Conchords FEEL INSIDE AND STUFF LIKE THAT WITH KIDS – YouTube Interview Transcript Louis: Hello and welcome to the Sitepoint Podcast. We’re back this week with our regular news and commentary show. With me on the show are two-thirds of the regular panel of guests, Patrick O’Keefe and Kevin Dees. Hi guys. Kevin: Howdy, howdy. Patrick: And together we make up three quarters of the hosting lineup. Louis: Now that we’ve dazzled our audience with our ability to do basic fractional math, we can move on to talking about the web.

I just heard about this Raspberry Pi thing. When did that come out? I just heard about it today. Louis: It was a few months ago. I have a, one of my friends here at work the lead designer for Flippa is big into physical computing, has been working with Arduino for quite some time. He’s built this code library for Arduino that sort of controls his greenhouse with the humidity sensors and temperature sensors to control the greenhouse. He’s built an open source library to do that. He was really looking forward to the Raspberry Pi when it was announced. There was a big delay in shipping because the demand was pretty high.
