Dearest members and Visitors of the little Fountain Pen Nut House on the digital prairie,

 

Apologies for the inconvenience, as we had to patch and reboot our server at short notice in order to fix a potential security leak reported about 20 minutes ago by our host providers.

However, better safe than sorry :).

 

All is well again now.

 

Warm regards, Wim

On behalf of the FPN Admin team

Yes, sorry for that, but since it was a general Linux OS issue reported by Google to our host providers, we decided to take no risk at all, fix it straight away and reboot to put it in effect, without even a warning. We don't particularly like potential leaks. :)

 

Warm regards, Wim

Which is why you're one of the best! Thank you for looking out for us, it is appreciated. :)

So space and time are linked together. As we are looking across space, we are looking back in time. The further and further away those stars are the further back in time you are looking. Now you are seeing a star that is say six thousand years ago. Imagine somebody at that star looking at us They would be seeing us as we were six thousand years ago. Which of those two is now? - Alan Parsons Project The Time Machine - Temporalia (Paraphrased)

I guess I got lucky -- I wasn't logged on when you were doing the work.

Thanks for all you do to keep the site up and running.

I didn't notice at the time, either, but thank you very much for this and all the other work you do!

      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
