Because its New Years Eve and I have nothing better to do, I wrote some code that sends you back the tweet you wrote physically printed from a receipt printer! Why? Why Not! Tweet anything tonight using the hashtag #tweetticker, and you'll get your tweet right back! AMAZING!



edit: Twitter suspended my account from publishing more tweets, after printed you can find the tweet at http://www.tweetticker.com/

you should get a reply right away, unless you are @yaoidivision, in which case you won't get any more. I also fixed the margins (I think) so stuff shouldn't get cut off.

lol how many did they print to get cut off

about 12 - I would've left it if they were unique, but I'm guessing we might be dealing with Dare

Looks like my twitter API account has been made read-only, so tweets won't be going out any time soon

You can find your printed tweets now at http://www.tweetticker.com until I get twitter going again

So I guess Twitter doesn't like you sending out automated @ tweets unless you are a managed twitter partner account. I asked about a couple work arounds, and if they would result in another block, the answer was "maybe" - not very reassuring.

However, if anyone is still using this, you can now add #red, #blue, #yellow, #green, #orange or #purple to change the color of the light shining on the printout before it takes the picture, exciting times!*



*it uses a hue light, so its about as reliable as my wifi

OP, bounce your wifi that light ain't working.

I'll move some stuff around when I get home from work, too much lead paint between my router and the light I guess.

edit: should be all good now

still doesn't work

There is a hub that controls the lights that I thought I had moved close enough to the room with the printer/computer but I guess not. It is literally 3 feet away from the lamp now, if this doesn't fix it then nothing will.

rolls out a broken, untested feature. declares it functional, shares with everyone the great new abilities the feature gives. feature is still completely broken after multiple attempts to fix, not one person has been able to use as intended, throws up hands and declares advertised features impossible.

It works perfectly, everyone else is just using it wrong.

if im doing #tweetticker and a color like #blue and get no response, what's up? I though it got fixed

sorry, I was out and I guess the printer went offline - you can tweet to it now. I'm working on a queue for offline issues, but haven't gotten much in place yet

If anyone cares, here is the mess you are making. The sconce on the gear vr box is in front of the camera, the printer feed goes up to a coat hanger that is hanging from a hook in the ceiling, then it all comes back down to the floor.
