I have a custom domain I bought through Squarespace for a site they're currently hosting, but I want to move my site elsewhere. I could leave the domain at Squarespace, but I kind of want to transfer it elsewhere, too. Thoughts? Suggestions for another host that isn't GoDaddy? 😛

Today's picture: my stickered laptop. I love the look of "stickerbombed" stuff, but can never bring myself to overlap stickers when I put them on things. I don't want to cover any of them up! 😆

I don’t know why I signed up for the restock notification for this awesome-looking nib, as I have no space in the budget for it now. 😭

If anyone else gets one of these, I’d love to hear how you like it.

TIL:

Originally called “Jerry and David’s Guide to the World Wide Web,” which was created in 1994, as the portal grew popular, it was renamed Yahoo, an acronym for “Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle.”

The color of these tulips is amazing! Random question, does anyone know of a fountain pen ink that matches this? Bonus if it has multicolor shading like these tulips.

Been watching lots of ink swatching videos on YT. My ink library is already kind of ridiculous, so seeing more inks I want to try doesn’t help, but I can’t resist! 😆

Hello #FountainPens People! Anyone know of UK-specific (probably London and Cambridge) stationery and/or fountain pen stores? A friend of mine is traveling there and asked if there are shops he should check out for me. I only know of Cult Pens online, but I don’t know if they have a physical store. I’d be interested in ink brands that are hard to get outside of the UK, if that’s a thing. But any pen info would be appreciated as well.

A while back I mentioned you can buy purple nibs from Nahvalur for their pens (and others may be compatible; I fitted my Laban Skeleton with a purple nib transplanted into the Laban housing). I see they also have black and blue now, in addition to the rose gold they offered before. They also have these colors for gold nibs. Since they just released a spring pen with a green nib, they might start offering green nibs in the future.

P.S. I may need to migrate my blog from Squarespace for real. They just pushed an app update that made it incredibly annoying to navigate to the UI to create a new blog post, and editing a blog post has lost a lot of functionality. I had to finish editing on my laptop because I literally could not embed a URL into my blog text. 😡

Psh, I just realized that my serviced Nahvalur Original Plus that I was supposed to receive last week is lost in the mail or maybe was delivered to someone else. 😠 It was supposedly delivered to my mailbox last Saturday, but obviously I don't recall receiving it. And we've checked mail since.

I logged a ticket with USPS; we'll see if anything results from it.

I bought a bunch of CON-40s to use in my Pilot Elites instead of the annoying plastic converters shaped like the cartridges. But when I put one into one of my older Elites, it felt loose, didn’t seat as securely as I expected. I used it anyway and hope it doesn’t get loose in there. 🤞 Is there another similar converter I should look for?

Has anyone purchased from this shop before? I went searching for Lennon Tool Bar Sesame Oil ink because the latest Catching Up With Yoseka video mentioned it, and this shop claims to carry it. But I can’t tell from store info where it’s located and what shipping might cost.
