I sort my fountain pen inks by brand, but I’m thinking of changing that to color. Pros: if I want an orange but not a specific one I can just grab one out of a row of bottles. Cons: different size bottles won’t fit well together (I’m specifically thinking Iroshizuku); will take up more space

I tried to order an arabic keyboard overlay from amazon. They sent me a hebrew one. I complained. I got to keep it & got a refund. I used the refund to order another arabic one. I got another hebrew one. I got to keep it and got a refund. Hopefully the third time’s the charm

Once again, I must give love be to Birmingham Pen Co. My 1st purchase was 5 bottles of fountain pen ink. 2 swatched quite differently than the site. 2 others lacked sheen. They researched, gave me reasons why, and offered me 4 free bottles of any of their inks.

Way back in the dark ages (20+ years ago) I wrote something useful with mod_python. If you embedded LaTeX in your HTML inside custom tags it would render your code into images, cache them, then serve them. How we published math before MathJax.

Look, I don't care how much you hate Trump, don't combine him with Nazi imagery -- no swastikas, no pictures next to Hitler, no none of that. Thank you, a Jew.

@nibsandflourishes.bsky.social I am still gathering nibs, but here's the current state. From top to bottom: 1.1mm stub, med long blade, extra fine ultra flex, med left oblique, extra fine. Which do you prefer? (I'll tell you the current ratings after you reply; I don't want to bias you)

I cannot begin to tell you how horrible Google Docs is at mixing RTL and LTR languages. It's just terrible. This is a solved problem. Many word processors do it without a problem.
