And we'll answer it on a future episode. My name is Wes I'm a

developer from Canada. It was with me as always as Scott how you doing Scott?

Doing super good man yeah not too much I just spoke at a Denver script last night. So that was a lot of fun a lot of people came out. Oh yeah, it was just super cool. Yeah, so did you bring some of the skate decks I saw?

Yeah, we did a little,

fingerboards.

We did a little giveaway, which was actually fun in itself

because I was just thinking,

all right, we'll just, you know,

write people's names down on the list and

draw them out of a hat and CJ was like no man we we can do this a different way and we had

everybody's name from RSVPing on meetup.com.

So what I did is I wrote a script to pull everyone's name

from the meetup RSVPs and put them into an array and then CJ wrote a script that would randomly

pick people but was so fun about it was that he the first time he put like a delay and so it would count each or it would announce each

winner like one letter at a time but the delay he put on there was like crazy long so he hit go and that's just like a

Be so the next thing you know CJ is writing a script live and it's on on the screen and he's

adjusting it to just output them and doing it a more fun way.

So it ended up being like that part ended up being a fun thing in its own, but we gave away 10 of them.

A lot of syntax fans in the house, so it was super cool getting to meet everybody there.
