[154.32 --> 156.44] It's time to get to know your hosts and producers.
[157.46 --> 162.90] So, does anybody want to narrate through the list, or do you want me to ask the questions?
[164.04 --> 170.86] Why don't we just go through the fun questions in any random order that sounds fun, and go from there.
[170.86 --> 175.20] I'm easy breezy. I'm port forwarding something right now, though, so we can have a little more fun later.
[176.14 --> 178.08] Oh, that sounds like fun.
[178.48 --> 179.30] So much excite.
[180.02 --> 181.26] I'm port forwarding right now.
[181.70 --> 184.18] Chris Benson in the Slack channel just asked,
[184.42 --> 189.22] why didn't my artificial intelligence machine learning talk get selected for GopherCon?
[189.46 --> 191.80] Oh, I know the answer to that one.
[192.70 --> 195.06] Oh, wait, I'm going to be quiet. Never mind. That wouldn't be nice, would it?
[195.76 --> 199.36] So, actually, I think we can get into that a little bit later,
[199.36 --> 203.02] because I do remember seeing a question about kind of like how talks are selected.
[203.70 --> 207.58] So, that probably falls in line really well there and can help answer that question.
[208.24 --> 213.36] I'm just going to start with the first one on the list, which actually is a co-worker of mine.
[214.12 --> 217.92] Mark Maudy says, what is the weirdest project you have seen written in Go?
[220.32 --> 222.00] I have the best answer for this one.
[222.64 --> 223.34] All right, let's hear it.
[223.72 --> 225.36] That's why I was trying to port forward a minute ago.
[225.36 --> 231.10] So, when I moved into my new house last year, right around this time,
[231.56 --> 233.06] I lost the remote to my television.
[233.84 --> 237.38] And I am cheap and lazy, and I did not want to get a new television.
[237.90 --> 240.34] So, I was Googling around for interesting things to do,
[240.42 --> 243.74] and I just started Googling for the model number of my television.
[244.30 --> 249.74] And it turns out that there is a home automation interface on the TV
[249.74 --> 252.60] that is 100% unsecured over Telnet.
[253.78 --> 257.76] And we don't need to get started about being unsecure over Telnet,
[257.96 --> 258.78] but there is one.
[258.78 --> 261.34] You have to explicitly enable it.
[261.92 --> 263.82] It comes shipped off.
[264.32 --> 265.22] So, I had to turn it on.
[265.70 --> 270.50] But once I did turn it on, now I have a Telnet prompt on my television.
[270.50 --> 273.62] So, I hacked up a tiny Go program.
[273.88 --> 276.90] It's at github.com slash bkettleson slash tv.
[277.66 --> 282.22] And using it, you can send commands to my television to turn it on and off,
[282.70 --> 285.24] turn the volume up and down, and change the input sources.
[286.02 --> 289.02] So, from my laptop, I control my television.
[289.84 --> 290.26] Nice.
[290.46 --> 292.14] And it really is a tiny amount of code.
[292.14 --> 297.26] And I was going to port forward that port on my home router
[297.26 --> 299.84] so that everybody could play and turn on the TV
[299.84 --> 301.18] and turn the volume up and down.
[301.56 --> 304.80] But I just realized the IP address of my TV has changed,
[304.96 --> 308.48] and I don't know what it is without going out to the television to find it.
[308.60 --> 312.20] So, we won't play the everybody screw up Brian's TV game right now.
[312.50 --> 313.50] But that would have been fun.
[315.06 --> 316.86] You get props for trying.
[317.10 --> 317.36] Right?
[317.58 --> 318.50] How about you, Carlicia?
[318.50 --> 324.12] I don't recall anything odd or weird or stupid.
[325.86 --> 326.54] I don't know.
[326.62 --> 329.16] Maybe I just don't pay attention, but I don't recall.
[329.86 --> 331.34] So, I've got one.
[331.40 --> 333.50] I don't know whether I would call it weird.
[333.96 --> 336.80] But definitely something I didn't expect to find written in Go
[336.80 --> 340.04] was a while back, and I think we might have even mentioned it on the show,
[340.60 --> 343.22] there was a project called Fergulator,
[343.78 --> 346.68] which was a Nintendo emulator written in Go.
[346.68 --> 348.10] And that was just kind of really cool.
[348.10 --> 351.58] I didn't expect to see that written in Go, especially so early in Go's life.
[353.04 --> 355.64] Now, how about the next one?
[357.10 --> 358.20] I don't have an answer here.
[359.00 --> 361.46] Hey, yeah, you're familiar with Go projects.
[361.96 --> 363.32] I know the Go world a little bit.
[363.80 --> 367.76] I was actually really excited to see, and it thought it was a little weird.
[367.92 --> 368.72] I didn't expect it.
[368.76 --> 370.52] That's why it's weird, but it's not a weird thing.
[370.52 --> 373.56] It's Ruby, the Ruby lang written in Go.
[373.66 --> 378.86] I think that's kind of interesting to take Go and write a object-oriented language on top of it.
[379.44 --> 381.22] I just thought that was like, I didn't expect it.
[381.38 --> 381.88] I'll left field.
[382.86 --> 386.62] I just plus one that, because I thought the same.
[386.96 --> 388.96] And by the way, do you want to introduce yourself?
[389.64 --> 389.86] Me?
[390.62 --> 391.00] Mm-hmm.
[391.56 --> 392.12] Let me say.
[393.10 --> 393.40] I'm me.
[393.80 --> 393.96] Yeah.
[394.16 --> 394.56] I'm me.
[394.66 --> 395.86] Your name, and who are you?
[396.00 --> 398.70] Because I didn't realize it was going to be on.
[398.82 --> 399.28] Oh, yeah.
[399.34 --> 403.68] Well, for the folks who are listening, I'm using the person behind the scenes.
[403.82 --> 405.34] I'm here every single show.
[405.38 --> 406.30] So this is episode 45.
[406.56 --> 408.30] I've been here all 45 episodes.
[408.70 --> 409.22] It's been a lot of fun.
[409.22 --> 412.40] My name is Adam Stachowiak, editor-in-chief of Changelog.
[412.46 --> 413.88] I've been doing this for a while.
[414.62 --> 416.66] Started the Changelog back in 2009.
[416.76 --> 418.26] Started podcasting back in 2006.
[418.50 --> 420.00] So I've kind of been doing this for a bit.
[421.06 --> 421.98] And it's a lot of fun.
[422.20 --> 424.06] I like meeting people.
[424.18 --> 424.90] I love the Hanger community.
[424.90 --> 430.38] It's a lot of fun to do this and to do awesome shows like GoTime.
[430.38 --> 443.96] And if you happen to be around 3 p.m. Eastern time, well, I guess really it's 4, 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, the after show Adam usually comes on after we.
[444.14 --> 444.90] I appear there, too.
[445.48 --> 445.78] Yes.
[446.04 --> 447.52] So if you want to hear more of Adam.
