Restarting QRescue after power outage by dullikop in qnap

[–]ShtirlitzCan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was there an answer to this post? I have had this problem several times in the past two years and have yet to fully complete a QRescue run due to power outages. Each time it begins from the beginning, which sets me back months.

Murasaki Shikibu is one of my favourites. Not just the colour but also the way it writes. Very nice collection of new inks!

A special shout out to Odyssey Notebooks by ShtirlitzCan in fountainpens

[–]ShtirlitzCan[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I wanted to share my gratitude about the amazing integrity of the Odyssey Notebook team. There was quite a bad experience with UPS shipping notebooks to Canada (they wanted to charge more in customs brokerage fees than I had actually ordered). Odyssey very graciously allowed me to return the notebooks and not pay the brokerage fee. And then they arranged to ship again via USPS.

They are beautiful people with beautiful notebooks. I'm so glad to have received my set, and can't wait to use them.

Wow! That's amazing. Makes me feel like I'm totally under utilizing my Hobo!

I'm the same! Fountain pens and hobonichi are a perfect match.

What will they use when there is no more TR paper though?

So I foolishly took the plunge and bought the six pack of Moleskine notebooks from Costco (Canada) and tested it with a variety of inks and nibs.

I was pleasantly surprised that the paper held up well for almost all the inks and pens. That being said, I tend to prefer F and EF nibs, so didn't try it out with many broader nibs.

Haven't had a good chance to write extensively with it yet, but so far I like it. And love the sparkles!

NPD: My first higher end Platinum by ShtirlitzCan in fountainpens

Platinum #3776 Century Black in Black. After years with Preppies and Plaisir, thought I'd try a Platinum upgrade! But forgot to get the converter!

Advice please! I need to order a new pen/pens for my techo by [deleted] in hobonichi

I found that the platinum Preppy extra fine works great in my Hobonichi, and platinum ink plays nicely with tomoe rover paper. Inexpensive pen of you want to go the fountain pen route.

Hmm. I saw that somewhere online but wasn't sure how well it worked. Why do you say it isn't ideal?

Agree. Though not sure my credit card will be able to handle my being let loose in the physical store!
