Hello people!

 

I am a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker , a programmer, emacs user, FOSS advocate and of course, a lover of fountain pens.

 

Other than these, some more of my interests are mechanical keyboards and headphones.

 

I love computers and programming them. I use fountain pens to design my programs, write daily logs, agenda, mathematics etc. The paper life gives me a perfect escape from the digital world!

 

I got into fountain pens by chance. 12 years ago, I wanted to gift my a pen to my father, it was his birthday and I had managed to earn some money. This was in my graduation days. I got excited, and went to a stationary. I ended up buying a Parker Sonnet 18K. The pen works just as fine till date. As he opened his gift, he wrote and then asked me to write. I went back to college, bought another (cheap) fountain pen and got hooked. But as a student, I did not get to buy anymore pens. My father was a banker and retired recently. He gave me that Parker! Since then I have bought many inks - Diamine mostly and waterman. Today I ordered Iroshizuku yama-budo. I am still using that single pen for everything - I am a single pen person.

 

I hope you guys will be able to accommodate me, and it will be fun!

Hello and welcome to FPN, from Cape Town, South Africa.

To sit at one's table on a sunny morning, with four clear hours of uninterruptible security, plenty of nice white paper, and a [fountain] pen - that is true happiness!

Welcome home. Pull up a stump and set a spell. From when Emacs Makes All Computers Slow was absolutely true. Looks like we are almost at the point that emacs looks like a reasonable choice.

Welcome. The great thing about Lamy is you can buy one Safari, then later you can buy nibs for it. With that one Safari, you can effectively have as many pens as nibs you own for it.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
