[chbot] Interesting presentations at our next meetings || Teleduino

[Nathan Kennedy]

Hi Richard,

Thank you for the feedback.

JSON (and JSONP) can be used at the web service level, via the proxy. I
wanted to keep data traffic to an absolute minimum so decided on the
ASCII-Hex method for server-client communication. Sure, it's only a few
bytes, but if you're polling the device every 5 seconds for something, then
those few bytes can add up!

Looking forward to meeting you all in person.

Thanks,
Nathan.
