Could this be the first battery-powered, fully-wireless ImageWriter II in history? Well, it might at least be the first one on #GlobalTalk!

Just in time for the end of #MARCHintosh, a cheap Farallon AirDock showed up on Yahoo Auctions, and since I already had one, I had to try this stunt - adding an IRTalk node to GlobalTalk.

It is currently live on GlobalTalk if you want to try it, I'll probably leave it up until either the battery runs out or I deem it too much of a tripping hazard.

The battery is still holding at 3/5 dots, will be interesting to see if the setup is still alive when I wake up in the morning!

The battery ran out overnight, but now that the sun is out, how about we try solar?

My balcony is now in shade, so I have ended the wireless shenanigans, my ImageWriter is back onto plain old LocalTalk again, thanks to everyone who participated!
