I didn't think there was any chance that Erebus Crater would get picked as one of the 3 #fountainpen inks from the 2025 Colorvent for Colorverse to keep producing. I'm over the moon that it did! One of my favorite inks right now and I was afraid I was going to run out.
Pretty cool: https://xikipedia.org/ (but maybe needs some license notices added?)

I'm currently working on a new personal project, but I also happen to have some free cycles for smaller advisory, coaching, or consulting engagements.
Would you like my decades of experience applied to your pursuits, while also helping me pay my rent? Sure you would!

Hear me out: "Insultant".
It's like a consultant, but I get paid to tell you your stupid ideas are shit and to stop doing dumb things.

@davisr Hmmm.. I haven't tried it in several years, but I certainly wish I'd thought to try it in this case. (Maybe I still will to see if it handles the case differently..)
@mjg59 I tried to explain this a lot and was told it wasn't a concern.

I don't remember seeing weather forecasts vary this much. The one I look at says < 1" of snow for us. The one a friend showed me said 18"-21" of snow for us.
that feeling when you unloaded a palette off a freight truck, brought it all in, and days later realize...it was someone else's order.

How many Diamine #fountainpen ink names can you fit in a headline?

Update self-hosted software to a new major version.
It's a total non-issue and everything works brilliantly.
Whole process takes a couple of minutes.
Thanks, @forgejo team!
