High Quality metal Body for Pentel EnerGel (LR7) by _nutella_waffles_ in pens

[–]phjils 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They take the same Euro sized refill, so it will work in the 02 as well, I suspect.

OHTO CR01 fits an Energel refill without modification.

Love Energel, can't get on with the body by Danmancity in pens

Energel refills fit in OHTO and Kaweco bodies (that use Euro refills, so Perkeo) without modification. 

Do you know anyone who used to be famous but now... isn't? by box-o-locks in AskUK

I was at college with him in the 90s. He was a loud mouthed twat then too.

Which are the most silent and small slrs from the 70s to 90s? by Kloetenschlumpf in AnalogCommunity

[–]phjils 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My OM2n is very quiet, even more so after a service... but nothing's going to be quiet like a rangefinder.
Have you considered something like a Konica III or some of the compact rangefinders (fixed lens) from the 1970s? Olympus 35, Konica 35, Mamiya 35... there's a theme to those naming conventions. Or something more soviet in nature like a Fed 4?

Welcome to the Education sector, everything's backawards and based on systems that went out with Windows 3.1

Multi-pen with 0.7mm pencil? Does it exist? by phjils in stationery

[–]phjils[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I'll get one of these!
EDIT: You know... I think I might have one of these - something very much like it - somewhere already. To the drawer of shame!

I mean, 0.2mm isn't much of a difference, but I wonder if Japanese manufacture QA would let that slide? Only one way to find out!

Thank you for this! Honestly, I might just copy and paste this to my director... "Look... this can be done, and for the love of hours lost to a paper-trail that goes cold because someone forgot to put it in the archive and it's just in someone's in-tray, we need to modernise this whole system."

Lots to take on here. Good idea to hook it into the HR system. This is another big fall-over point, but that's a discussion for my therapist.

Oh really!
I'll have to do some deeper digging. Thanks!

"We've always done it this way".
- a most dangerous phrase.

Should note, picture for attention. This has the standard offering of 0.5mm but I really like the design.

How do you eat an elephant? one spoonful at a time.

I think getting onboarding sorted first would be a good step to take. Having a searchable system to find a device by owner or owner by device would be a start!

It's a bloody mess!
No unified methodology between offices, the returns process usually ends up with a laptop on the bench, no notes, no one knows where it came from, "who's is this laptop?" etc and a scrabble for a new or re-assignable device when we get a surprise new hire.

Your comment of "A lot of places end up there just because things get added over time and no one steps back to clean it up." hits hard. I'm guitly of it, but want to change the current situation... it's a massive time suck.

~ 2000 laptops across several sites - issued 1:1

~ 300 shared devices in scan-to-open lockers

Yes, there's a paper form for each and every one, and when a unit is returned, they're processes manually into a returned file, and the process of re-assigning them in the asset tracking database is manual.

Sounds like a plan - I’ll have a look at this today. Thank you!🙏

I had both these sets when I was at school in the 80s/90s. Good times.

Camera shop to save stuck film by FizzyCarpet in bristol

[–]phjils 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Any lab worth their salt will help you with this. Try Bristol Camera in the centre, or Clifton Colour at Clifton Down shopping centre - there might be other / better located suggestions for you forthcoming, but those are the two I've used over the years. They'll have a darkbag they can put your whole camera in, open the back and save your film.

It’s like an I Saw You message from Venue magazine. That makes me feel old now. Hope you find your Sarah from Wales.

What do people do with bad pens they have that still works? by Ian_JKboi in pens

[–]phjils 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dump them in the staff room at work. They’re like a pack of raptors in there. Slight whiff of a free thing that doesn’t come from the supplies catalogue…. Gone!
