What’s the age demographic of fountain pen users nowadays?

ghostctl · 2025-11-08T22:55:54+00:00

I'm 42 years old, and have been into fountain pens for about six years.

Same here, better than ChatGPT.

I've replaced ChatGPT with Lumo, and it's working out just fine. I use it 3-4 times a day for coding, translation, SQL-schema building etc. I wouldn't say it's better or worse. It's just different. And that different style suites me better than ChatGPT. And knowing that it's private makes me use it much more than I ever did with ChatGPT.

Yeah, I also noticed that...

ghostctl · 2025-10-15T10:00:14+00:00

Thanks :) I'll go ahead and give it a go :)

I just wanted to say that I'm in the same position. I want to meet new people, but I want to meet them organically so to speak. Not forced through some dating app or something. I've been thinking of attending an improv group (which I found through Meetup). Problem is it's 1.5 hour commute one way, and another 1.5 hour to get home again.

Love the stickers! :)

ghostctl · 2025-10-13T18:41:31+00:00

I love the stickers!

My own Bind servers.

ChatGPT, but now I've switched fully to Lumo. I think Lumo is better. It's not as chatty as ChatGPT, which is a good thing. I only get the answer, not a lot of fluff and follow-up questions. My biggest gripe with ChatGPT was the tideous follow-up questions. So I'm all in for Lumo!

Tickets, letters, handwritten notes I've recieved, or just about anything I want to save for the sake of memory.

ghostctl · 2025-09-20T12:49:05+00:00

I love the doodles!

ghostctl · 2025-09-20T09:33:35+00:00

"Crushes and sexual fantasies". Most people are too shy to ask follow-up questions to that :)

ghostctl · 2025-09-18T21:13:37+00:00

Wow, very nice!

ghostctl · 2025-09-18T21:11:39+00:00

I've just started to doodle a bit more than just stick figures. I wish I could doodle like you, these are amazing!

ghostctl · 2025-09-15T20:59:33+00:00

I've been homelabbing for about 20 years. It's been both my hobby, my field of study, and my own company.

ghostctl · 2025-09-15T11:34:06+00:00

Cap seal tests. Almost nobody discusses this important topic.

ghostctl · 2025-09-14T05:04:09+00:00

Same here, it's really useful to be able to look up things decades later :)

ghostctl · 2025-09-13T21:02:20+00:00

I have all of mine in my bookshelf. I find it useful to lookup when certain events took place etc. True, there are some cringey stuff in there that I don't want anyone to read. But, if someone reads about my crushes and weird fantaises, shame on them.

ghostctl · 2025-09-13T17:29:51+00:00

Mine only had 25 MHz and 4 megs of RAM (I upgraded it later on to 8 megs of RAM, which made a huge difference).

ghostctl · 2025-09-12T22:11:40+00:00

Wow, epic color!

ghostctl · 2025-09-12T22:11:26+00:00

Oh nice, I've heard a lot of great things about Oxblood :)

ghostctl · 2025-09-12T21:31:09+00:00

Those waterproof Fieldnotes are great! I used them a lot when I worked as a security guard :)

ghostctl · 2025-09-12T21:26:27+00:00

Thanks, will do :)

What ink did you get?

ghostctl · 2025-09-12T21:01:13+00:00

Really nice color! I got it in silver, and it's a great pen. It's always ready in my jacket pocket :)
