People go on and on about how "I'd just like you to have a good time when i'm gone", but i'm like nah' man, fuck that.
I want supermodels throwing themselves on my castket crying blue-murder about an unjust god and then for all of them to have as much sex as possible in the hope that they'll reincarnate me.

I'm reaching for the moon but gazing at stars.
Oh, because I didn't clock it 'till the next day when I came across an interesting blog, I worked out the calculatings behind that HSL issue.

Hue is done in degrees, 360, but there are 184.2 values on the PH per degree, so I just timesed the degree by 184.2 then toFIxed(0) because it can only take an int.

Sat is normally a %, but there are 255 possible values, so the maths was easy there.

Bri is irrelevant to colour, but again, it's 255 possible values.
=-=-=-=-
RGB/HEX to HSL is worked out via a jsLib I found called tinyColour, which converts anything to anything.

I've got a switch where if you press the bottom the lights turn on and if you press the top the lights turn off.

That's how all light switches work isn't it?

Someone linked a vid on fb yesterday where some dozy yank had wired his house wrong
the light switches behaved oddly and he could turn a light on and off and alter the brightness of it by plugging a hairdryer in a nearby socket. Surprised the place didn't burn down.

Lightly posted a really funny article about how this german bloke built a SmartHouse about 5 years ago...
... but naturally there was no Standards for it like they're building today (Zigbee/HomeKit/etc), and suddenly everything stopped working and going crazy.

In the end it turned out that a blown lightbulb was DoSing his whole house.

They have a mobile-first website written AngularJS, so I Prettified it's JS which exposed all it's API calls.

Only a bit,
When I told their Twitter, I was supprised they didn't react a bit stronger, because one of the params is a numerical "ClientID". I don't think that's entirely secure, I didn't test it against the cookie, but if they're accepting that, then the odds are I can change other people's heating.

and this is why the "Internet of Things" is a dumb idea
By all means have stuff in your house talk to each other, but ffs air gap it from the Internet at all costs.

If it's done right, then it's OK.
On the Philips Hue system, every time you use a new app, you have to phsyically press a button on the base-station.

This year at WWDC we'll see HomeKit implimented properly, now that manufacturers have had a year to get certifications from Apple - I think that'll do the job properly.

NFC on iOS is locked down due to ApplePay, but it can 'unlock doors' in hotels, so I have no idea how actually locked down it is.

Not convinced by any means
Even smart TVs are phoning out unencrypted now, pisspoor security through cost-cutting doesn't make me want to touch any of it with a bargepole.

Yeah', well, I fucking MADE that switch; that's gotta be worth some kudos.
Plus I have the Stickers version of these: estimote.com/ , that I've managed to get interacting with properly.... so I can just put my phone on the table and it'll pre-set a seqence or whatever.
