The Blog of Xangis

As a programmer in the home automation industry I’m exposed to all sorts of devices from a wide array of manufacturers. Much of the hardware is pleasant to work with. I’ve enjoyed writing code for pieces by Samsung, Extron, Hitachi, KeyDigital, Gefen, Sharp, Panasonic, and many others. However, every time I get a piece from Russound I just can’t wait until it’s over. There’s no better way to ruin my day than bring up the “R” word. I really hope they stop making hardware.
