# Inspired by http://jeffmiller.github.com/2011/01/10/ssh-host-color
# == What this version does:
# 1) Launch an SSH process
# 2) Grab the IP that SSH connected to
# 3) Hash that IP and generate a colour from it
# 4) Change Terminal.app's background colour to that colour.
# 5) Change the colour back when SSH exits.
# == How to install:
# 1) Put this somewhere in your path. I put mine at ~/bin/ssh.
# == Caveats:
# - Only works with OS X. shouldn't be hard to port to Linux if you care.
# == Configuration:
# The range to be selected from for each or {r,g,b}. Change RANGE whatever you like, or use one of the presets.
