Dear Members,

 

The hosting server was truly overloaded so the web server service decided to call it a day.

 

All fixed now.

 

On Saturday, from 18:00 the site will be moved to a new server, and FPN will be down for several hours. However, after that, the problems should be solved for the next few months at least.

 

Regards,

 

The FPN Admin Team

Thank you very much in advance.

We should all plan to make appropriate libations and rituals and smoke signals to invoke the blessing of the internet diety on this transition.

 

The announcement tells us that it will begin at 6pm. 6pm where? We will all want to do our imbibing at the most propitious time.

If I counted on the right number of fingers that is about 11am in California. A bit early for the customary libation, I'm afraid. Perhaps I'll "toast" to the server's good health later in the day..........

 

What color/brand bottle of ink will be broken across the bow to assure smooth sailing?

It would have to be some old Quink. The Solv-X will protect it and keep it working...

Isn't growth fun. I will join with all those toasting the Internet deities. I care not what the time is when this must be done. The supernaturals must be placated.

A big Thank You to the administration team!

 

You are tops!

Hi F.P.N. Admin Team

I'm glad I saw this, I've been scratchin' my head over the capricious black-outs. I live in Shanghai and sometimes even the most harmless internet stuff gets blocked by "the great fire-wall of China". Looks like, this time, I was wrong to blame big brother.

      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
