@kimberlyhirsh hi! I have some hands-on experience, with brands, with write feel, paper, so I'm here for any questions. For starters I would suggest to buy a Lamy Al-star in one of the ranges extrafine-medium, any Diamine ink and some nice paper, I have the Rhodia but there are many (paper is so underrated)

@manton I think automatic based on computer setting is great and should be the standard across websites!

@JohnPhilpin this image is so revealing. Here in Europe there's also some resistance to wind turbines for the same pseudoreason.

@hollyhoneychurch thanks ☺️ Pisa is way too warm today but with the privilege of good friends, music and water it seems a fantastic day to read and write for the Uni. How is your corner of the world??

@cygnoir Lochby Field Journal refills, these look nice, however unfortunately (or luckily) I can't buy from US without getting charged 5 to 10 times the amount in shipping and duties. I am doomed to save my money in this occasion. 😋

@JohnPhilpin yea, same. If they go forward with this Electron nonsense I'll just slowly start to revert back to icloud keychain, which has gained functionality in the last years and is starting to become viable. The problem with Electron apps is: they are s l o w.

@Gaby I mean Electron's not bad itself, when one is on the latest version, but I hope you agree that there's a real big issue with late adoption. When they're constantly behind on Electron versions, an app will never have the latest native features from that OS. And having a layer between OS and app means that every developer has to wait for Electron to update, then work on adapting that latest version (often not trivial), before they can start working on native new features.

@benjohnson I think it's a great value. I could be enumerating the advantages he shall have in life, but I won't give spoilers.

@manton in the final schedule can you perhaps list the general topic of talks, next to the names? I'm not deep into the microsphere and the names don't ring a bell.

@mypenneedsink not sure about my expectations of smooth, I use Twsbi that are supppper smooth at any price range. Many have said that Lamys they dry up super quickly tho.

@annahavron German or not isn't a factor, but thanks for the impression on the Lamy! I also have a Japanese nib and most of the time you should just go one size bigger. Will check out Online, they look fun

@vanessa always happy to support small manufacturers if I can - and who knows if this cute Procyon will ever behave

@vanessa Right! However the Platinum - I have a Procyon, very beautiful little pen, however does it write horribly - starts and stops continuously after I've been writing for a few minutes. Store says nothing's wrong with it. Thanks for the Gravitas suggestion! The look is fab
