After a brief intro a few pitched some ideas they had for the day and we joined into groups. I joined with [Max](https://twitter.com/omgmog) to work on some real time, web connected hardware using Arduino's etc. I had brought along my awesome [Spark Core](https://store.spark.io/?product=spark-core) which is a mini, cloud connected device. I hooked up a [DHT11](http://www.adafruit.com/products/386) temperature/humidity sensor which had a handy Spark Core library available.

The data from this sensor was then made available by registering events using the Spark cloud's `publish` function which I then listened for on a server and forwarded all messages to Pusher for use by others. I hooked up a simple web page that would display each of the messages as they came in and cobbled together a [D3](http://d3js.org/) graph that plotted the temperature in real time.

We gave demos at the end of the day. Mine was short and sweet but some of the others were pretty cool.
[Dan](https://twitter.com/danielthepope) made a cool game where you fight to set the background colour.

We also had a Countdown clone, modern minesweep, twitter walls with flamingos, various chat rooms and an interactive [Ben's mind palace](http://www.bensmindpalace.co.uk/rt/).
When all was done and we had wrapped up a few of us headed over to Joe Perks for some well deserved (custom) cocktails.

All-in-all it was a great day! I learned not to muck around with hardware at a JS hack day (although that may change now I've received my [Espruino Pico](http://www.espruino.com/Pico)) and there are some pretty quick and powerful things you can do with technologies like Pusher.
