Fountain Pen

I’m playing Linux in my home computer and with the Cloud, but I always forget where I wrote my work history immediately (:0), so I am rather using paper notebooks than software tools. I was not so particular about fountain pens, but once I started using them, I found out that there is so called converter and tried to use it. At first I didn’t know what a converter was. Usually a cartridge is used just to connect to a fountain pen, but a converter has the same connection as a cartridge and is designed to suck up ink from an ink bottle after it is attached to the fountain pen. In other words, it is designed to convert a cartridge fountain pen into an ink-sucking fountain pen.

I am using very normal ink right now, but when I run out, I’d like to try something a little more particular next time. By the way, a converter uses about 0.5cc for one shot and the ink bottle is 60cc, so I have to replace it 120 times before it runs out. I would like to use the next ink as soon as possible, but it seems that I have to write a lot of letters for that (:-).

Paper Notebook

I am now playing Linux , and next I try Cloud from dynabook N40. I always forget what I have tried and done very quickly, and it is difficult to remember even if I want to write about it later on my blog (:-). So I try to take notes whenever possible, and usually use a paper notebook and a fountain pen.

Of course, I also use various note applications, which is normal for software engineers, but in my case, I often switch operating systems and use various cloud note applications on a trial basis, so I lose track of what I wrote and where I wrote it. After a lot of roundabouts, I finally settled on the paper and fountain pen I use now.
I have never liked writing and my handwriting is not very good, so it was difficult to keep going at first, but I made a conscious effort to be a little particular about the tools I use. The fountain pen was given to me a long time ago, and I didn’t use it for a long time. But recentrly once I started using it, it has been getting more and more interesting. And then, now I want to new notebook that seemed to go well with my fountain pen, so I bought it.

Even though my handwriting is not very good , a new notebook makes me feel a good writer , even if only for a little while (:-).
