Curtis Free<p>Picked up my first Sailor Pro Gear last weekend, and I have a problem with the Zoom nib:</p><p>I don&#39;t want to use anything else. 😁</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FountainPens" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FountainPens</span></a></p>
VimLinks<p>Bram Moolenaar has passed away. A message from his family: <a href="https://groups.google.com/g/vim_announce/c/tWahca9zkt4" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">groups.google.com/g/vim_announ</span><span class="invisible">ce/c/tWahca9zkt4</span></a></p><p>Bram dedicated a huge portion of his life to building an open source tool for the benefit of the programming community. He gave away all donations to the Vim project to charity. He will be missed.</p>
John R<p>Twitter is no longer the town square. Twitter now has a wall around the square. Only members can view the speakers in the square. Government agencies should stop using Twitter since it is not open to the general public.</p>
Curtis Free<p>And second: Apica CD!</p><p>I&#39;d heard good things about these affordable notebooks. But it was only &quot;okay&quot; in my limited test.</p><p>The paper isn&#39;t as smooth as I want (toothier than Kokuyo Campus), and there was a little feathering with the Opus 88 sample.</p><p>This would be okay in a pinch, but I&#39;ll probably reach for something else. 👍👎</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FountainPens" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FountainPens</span></a></p>
Curtis Free<p>First up: Kokuyo Campus!</p><p>For a &quot;budget&quot; option, the Campus paper was quite smooth... and it handled two of my pens very well!</p><p>I&#39;d buy it again! 👍👍</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FountainPens" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FountainPens</span></a></p>
Curtis Free<p>Picked up a couple of small notebooks from Kinokuniya this weekend so that I could try papers I hadn&#39;t before! 👇</p>
Curtis Free<p>Check out the new Kinokuniya in John&#39;s Creek, GA!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Stationery" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Stationery</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FountainPens" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FountainPens</span></a></p>
