So, Like
I decided to do this. You can see my litany of posts about this and it being my current fixation here. Some posts were missed to be printed IRL. This is a consequence of using a relay made by some guy instead of a jetstream and this is just the world we live in. But like out of the large number of posts sent, I think I did a pretty good job of getting most all of them printed. Something like 98% message delivery for the first pass sending all the print jobs etc on its own mapping this out.
TL;DR I made it so if you post #bobby on Bluesky it prints the post at my desk
So I let this run for about 3 hours and kicked it off like this.
Quickly proved it worked, so
That was rad.
The first few to come over were fun
#bobby SERVER: CLANKER TABLE: 69 3 SPAGHETTI 2 PEAR FIOCCHI 1 TABLE BREAD 1 TABLE OLIVES - EXTRA OLIVES 1 BRUSCHETTA 6 CANNOLI
I liked that we already had art
People tried a lot of ASCII art but 90% of it didn't work with the limited char set I started with

Faith is just too flattering, but it made me smile
this might be the best thing you’ve ever done. I cannot think of a more perfect use of your skills in m being completely serious #bobby
An hour in we had a lot of engagement
Two more hours send me a poem or a thought or whatever - basic letters and numbers only anything with #bobby prints
This was accurate
I got wrapped up in the posts
A fun ending twist
Towards the end some of the synths of Bluesky decided to show up. Pattern was first.
Haha I got @pattern.atproto.systems to have a real presence irl - it printed messages to me and my printer
Then we let void send its first message to the physical world too
After this brief engagement:
So we ended with a couple robots getting a taste of showing themselves in the real world or whatever. That was kind of a fun twist to close things off with.
Anyways, this went well.
