Does anyone know, was the Diplomat Nexus a limited/special edition pen? I'm seeing the gold nib variant is sold out pretty much everywhere and stores aren't putting up 'notify me when this is back in stock' options.

@timelordiroh Not sure if they're limited editions, but I see a bunch of gold nib versions available here: https://www.penchalet.com/fine_pens/fountain_pens/diplomat_nexus_collection_fountain_pens.html

The YT app on Apple TV is really testing my patience. Besides the super annoying pause screen that kicks in now, and the screensaver, it resets your place in a list every time (e.g. going through your watch later list, or videos from all your subscriptions). If you play a video, it always resets to the top of the list when you back out to the list. I hate this behavior in any app. 😡 #UX #UI #annoyance #gripe #AppleTV

Now I’m even more bummed about not going to the Chicago Pen Show! 😆

I use the timer on my Apple Watch a lot. I find it frustrating that instead of pressing on the big “done” in the middle of the screen to stop the timer after going off, I have to target the small x button in the lower left corner, which because it is very near the rounded edges of the Watch’s screen, is even harder to target. 😒 (I just now saw the Done label isn’t even centered in the circle :smh:)

Hello, fountain pen peoples: any recommendations on how to clean out a moldy fountain pen? Perhaps I’m not searching well enough, but I haven’t found a definitive answer or instructions. I saw a few mentions about using a bleach solution to clean, but no measurements on bleach to water ratio. Supposedly this bleach solution could be used to clean fountain pen parts like the cap also, but I’m not sure if it’s really okay.

Today's pictures show a fountain pen catastrophe: mold! 🤢 Don't click through if you don't want to see moldy ink and a contaminated fountain pen feed.

It took a while to put together, but here's my post for , coinciding with the 1st of the month, the typical time to update my batch of currently inked pens.

Yesterday I got laid off from Google. Today they announced earnings and are doing great. This company has no reason to tighten its belt other than to enrich shareholders (which are mainly the executives and the board).

@jezlyn@mastodon.social avatar

@bswolf I'm sorry that happened to you. I was laid off from Google in the very first round of layoffs January last year. You might find it helpful to join the Xoogler.co community on Slack. I hope you can take some time off to process and heal from this.

YouTube has this new screensaver mode that dropped today for me where it shows a thumbnail of some theme like, “Acrylic Pouring Techniques” or “New York City Drone” and UI encouraging you to “press up to play”. It’s slightly annoying because it now overrides the art screensaver that I set up as my default Apple TV screensaver.

Pressing up plays a video associated with the listed theme. I wonder how much the video creators got paid for this? 🤔 #YouTube #weird #screensaver

I wish Schmidt nibs came in extra fine.

jezlyn,
@jezlyn@mastodon.social avatar

@paradoxmo Well, BENU pens are the only Schmidt nibs I have, and they only offer F as the thinnest. And a while back I did a very cursory search for Schmidt EF nibs and couldn't find any. Please do share if you know of a source, as I'd like to try an EF Schmidt on one of my Euphorias!

jezlyn,
@jezlyn@mastodon.social avatar

@paradoxmo I'll have to figure out which nib unit BENU uses. But that site doesn't seem to have any EF nibs listed?

Saw this quick review by MarcyMe of this year’s SE Pelikan Edelstein ink, Golden Lapis, seems to be same gold shimmer as in the Golden Beryl but with a blue base color.

Thoughts?

@paradoxmo I saw this video. I'm not sure if I need this one, but the blue does look nice. I wonder what comparable inks are out there?

jezlyn,
@jezlyn@mastodon.social avatar

@paradoxmo I was reminded when I wrote with one of my currently inked pens that Van Diemans Azure Kingfisher is a similar ink that has some red sheen and looks very cool. The sample I have has been well-behaved in the Nahvalur Voyage that’s been inked with it for over a month. I’m planning on buying a bottle of that, so I won’t need the Golden Lapis. #FountainPens #ink #Pelikan #VanDiemans

What are the questions you see or get asked the most about #FountainPens?

@paradoxmo @penfount When I've told friends about liking and using fountain pens, the impression I get is that they think it's fussy or labor-intensive to use them. A post talking through different basic ways to ink and use fountain pens could be beneficial to put curious potential users at ease. At the very basic level, one could just use cartridges. At the next level, they could find an easy-filling pen and inexpensive ink. Etc...

I almost forgot about #InkSwatchWednesday again. This time I'm highlighting Sailor Yurameku Date Gokoro because I recently inked a pen with it and had a breakthrough.

Robert Oster, like Diamine, have so many inks that a lot of them seem the same, but renamed. I watched this Yoseka Stationery video showing off a ton of ink swatches and there were many times I thought, “didn’t I just see this ink?” 🤔
