That answer was in totally the wrong thread.  Not sure how that happened...

I don't know, but my efforts at understanding it in the context of the previous post were pretty Herculean.

Apparently the Internet of Things is a world where physical objects are seamlessly integrated into the information network, and where the physical objects can become active participants in business processes. Services are available to interact with these 'smart objects' over the Internet, query and change their state and any information associated with them, taking into account security and privacy issues.

But the Twitterbot I just wrote in Ruby to connect anything I like to the internet is most likely to be attached to a switch beneath the flusher for my toilet so every time someone uses it the toilet tweets variations on "MASSES OF TURD COMING YOUR WAY, @PLUMBINGSYSTEM"

This is fucking  brilliant.  I shall include this in my irc twitterbot irc feed.

Also, please to include pics of this setup....

They think they've found The Answer, and that Answer is Managerial Rationalism.  Apply metrics to ALL THE THINGS!

It ALMOST works, but it doesn't actually make any sense, but I about broke my brain trying to figure it out.

Heh, I just assumed he was talking about something at his job. For some reason i thought this was Open Bar.

Weird thing I didn't even notice it was in the wrong thread.

You're not alone! At the very least, Cain and I have both also been confused by this thread today.

I've gotten a text a piece from Stelz and Nigel via twitter. Messages that make me think at least you two have had your twitter accounts hacked.

[Anna Mae Bollocks]

I had an email from twitter this morning telling me to reset my password.

Thanks. Going to see WTF they put there...

I've been invited to a convention on historical costuming in Kansas City this coming spring. That's a place I've never been. It's all midwest and stuff out there. With no ocean.

[East Coast Hustle]

Which Kansas City? There are two of them, and they are NOT created equal.
