Someone the other day was insistent with me that Sailor Kiwaguro #fountainpen ink was not water resistant (smeared easily) even after drying for over half an hour. They might as well have told me the sky was ivy green. It was coming out of a fine nib pen, was on watercolor paper, and the amount of water was just drops from a brush. Any theories / corroborating experiences? It has to be the paper, right? But I know a lot of people who use it on watercolor paper generally.
I'll be at all of @conservancy #FOSSY25 next week -- hope to see many of you there!
Let me know if you'll be around.
The class I had with Alice Notley was one of my best and most memorable. "Descent of Alette" is a book/poem I'll keep forever (later in life I would think, "Hey, this is like Lisp!"). A big loss: https://www.interviewmagazine.com/culture/anselm-berrigan-reflects-on-his-mother-alice-notley
You know, one of you could have maybe said, hey, John, maybe now is not the time to read a book about the sudden presence of a new secret police force in a previously democratic society.
It's been a really long time since I "lost" an hour fiddling with my dot #emacs. Felt "good". And reported a very tiny bug!
Finished The Book of Love by Kelly Link. Enjoyed it enough that I wanted to rush into another of hers (Get in Trouble is an unread one on my shelf) but going to read Prophet Song by Paul Lynch instead because I have rules. #books
AND THE ANSWER WAS TO CONNECT THE TWO DEVICES WITH ETHERNET AND WAIT. WHAT DOES THE APP EVEN DO
"We need a song that all of us can sing / A true reflecting. A moody, bright, expansive song. / In all this glass, when every face is seen, / These mirrors will hold conversations with the sun."
from "Liquid Cities" by Lorenzo Thomas
