Frozenlock

Tried again without HTTPS and this time it worked (What the f..).

I hope this will be fixed soon, I would prefer to force HTTPS everywhere.

Anyhow, thank you very much, at least now the bot will be able to crawl my site!

Thanks. Any idea if this would also affect 'fetch as Google'?

I don't have a robots.txt, so -for this url alone- I'm expecting a 404. What I've read in the google documents is that when a request to get the robots.txt returns a 404, it will consider it as OK to crawl.

Thank you!

You can send me a mail at frozenlock@<the-domain-name>.com

Thanks! The pinging is deactivated on my router, no surprise there.

The problem is not the ranking, which backlinks influence, but the ability of the Googlebot to crawl the site.

Also, I did not add the entry to BACnetWiki. In fact it's probably one of the only mention of the site that I did not made. :-)

I did try without HTTPS, and even without GZIP. Not for a week, but enough to test the 'fetch as Google' option in the Google webmaster tools.

I've also read that Googlebot shouldn't have any problems with HTTPS.

The reason shown in the crawl error is "Robots.txt fetch".

This isn't very surprising as 'fetch as Google' returns a page unavailable for everything.

(It's my understanding that a 404 on robots.txt is OK)

What else is harmful? (Not accepting the premise that fast food is 'bad' by the way...) Sitting on a chair for hours. Should office work be made illegal?

Is this caused by the link with bitcoins, or is it simply because they used "amazon" in the name?

It goes even beyond that. It could be the first time in history where wealth can't be taken by force.

Do tell more! I was unaware of any country having officially stated Bitcoin as illegal.

What's the downside? You say that as if it was bad to hire someone from Poland...

There's also Flotr2: http://www.humblesoftware.com/flotr2 and Envisionjs: http://www.humblesoftware.com/envision

Which are FOSS.

Any known issue with Chromium?

I just get an error message saying that the page script was taking too much memory and was stopped.

At least my zoom button works...

You would fire BOTH of them?

I'm not disagreeing with any of the possible impact on the boss's productivity, but rather how a majority of response here are of the kind: "Fire him, be the alpha male! Ouga ouga!" Firing him might be the correct answer; but it's in no way evident.

Try this thought experiment: suppose you have 2 employees. Would you fire one of them if he sleeps with the other's girlfriend, or would you consider this a 'personal matter' and not interfere?

I don't know why you got downvoted.

When you have a relationship with a man/woman, it's with this individual, not with every single other human being on the planet.

If I'm not with anyone and I try to seduce your girlfriend, it's HER job to say no. Unless you don't think she is smart enough to make her own decisions. But in this case we have other problems...

As opposed to jetti, I'm not sure the wife would just have found somebody else. But regardless, she was the one in couple with the boss.

I'm confused by most of the reactions I see here. It's as if they expect the boss to be able to tell employees who they can fuck.

Kudos to this boss for at least considering that firing the guy is not the only solution.

Unfortunately, not really.

You see, home automation seems to always do "it's own thing" in regards to industry standards, which is why I manifested myself here.

If you want to know more about building control however, you can just type "hvac control" in google and you should be in the right spot. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_Automation

I wouldn't call it automation per se. HVAC control is simply named... well, control.

The last control company I worked for was heavily invested in the Delta controls' products. (All working on top of the BACnet protocol) Last I heard Delta also started to toy with Zigbee.

In my head there aren't mutually exclusive, as the BACnet architecture enables it to be built on top of other protocols. (BACnet/arcnet, BACnet/MSTP, BACnet/Ethernet, BACnet/IP...)

Interesting. I'm reticent to implement any of this. Why? Because it adds a bunch of complexity where none is required. As I said before, I might add a URL shortener if the need arises.

If my goal was to get the smallest possible URL, you would be correct (well, you still are...) However, for the same reason people prefers a website named "ycombinator" over "zgrrc", even if the url would be shorter, I don't mind not being concise.

If I can check my url and without any database see that it's project X, device Y, object Z, it makes debugging easier.

But you are absolutely right: there are ways to make short, unique urls. I just don't want to use them.

This might seems odd... but I just never thought of it. :\

I was probably stuck in a weird mindset.

Yeah I'm still wondering if I should gzip to whole thing (I'm already base64 encoding anyway).

However the duplication overhead would only be really paying off with a large number of objects.

By the redis reference, I suppose you refer to a uniquely created key each time a user request a possible combination. Something like /short-url/abcd, where abcd would be a key matching {:project-id "505a125e44ae42e05a750c97"... ?

That's what I was thinking when talking about a shortening url scheme. It requires more work, but the final URL would indeed be more sexy.

Thank you for the input, I appreciate it!

Nothing, it's not sql. It's a clojure map with all the necessary info to find the different components.

But nice reflex! ;-)

I use long URL because I want unique URL that will never change.

Specifying what item(s) should be targeted in a pool of possibly millions, with endless possible combinations is bound to require some kind of precise pointer.

Here is an example URL I use: https://bacnethelp.com/vis/overview/KHs6cHJvamVjdC1pZCAiNTA1....

What I could do, however, is use some kind of shortening url scheme, kinda like google maps: http://goo.gl/maps/3uP8y.

I'm still uncertain about which way is better.

EDIT: Of course I mean a local shortening url, pointing to my own databases.

Any plan to use industry standard protocols?

I work in HVAC controls and I'm always surprised by how the 'home automation' folks seem to just ignore what's already out there.

My favorite standard is BACnet (standard for ASHRAE, ANSI and ISO), but there's also Modbus, Lontalk...

There's a bunch of people who have already worked very hard to make sure there's some usable protocols for lighting, air conditioning and even security access.

IMO you could leverage a strong position and use existing codes by using them.

I really enjoy the 'linux friendly' aspect of this.

Works better than other alternatives I've tried! Thank you so much!

I agree. "Why the Web is White" Because it's designed by people who are not using the websites. It's easier to 'sell'.

Same reason AutoCAD is shown with a white background in publicity, but users switch to a dark background the instant they have to use it professionally.

Same thing with a text editor... Emacs default to white, but the first thing I do with a fresh install is to change it to a dark theme.

Why do they hate single page?
