I'm surprised that AWK is so bad at handling CSV out of the box.
Yes, I know about the --csv flag in later versions of gawk, but that isn't an option in this case.

I run a pretty tight budget. Twice a year, I get a fun surprise from my domain registrar (because I have two domains with them). They both come with a "free business card generator" that I have never used, but whatever.
Anyhow, every time a domain comes up for renewal, it's expected, budgeted, and paid for. All is good.
Then, about a month later I open my email and see an unexpected additional "receipt" from them. This sends me into a brief panic until I realize it's a $0 receipt for the business card bullshit.

I need to find more excuses to use my glass pen. It's totally not practical as a daily use pen, but it's soooo satisfying to use.
I need to write some fancy letters or something.

@alexa-488 I have not. Please tell me more.
Edit: Looked it up. I'm not sure how comfortable I am making my mailing address public, however I have been considering a PO box lately...

You don't have to post yours openly. I think there are various forums for sharing in a more limited manner, i.e. direct with someone. You can find addresses and mail to them first.
Pretty sure even short hand written notes count, so you could leave some fancy notes for people in your life who you appreciate.

Iβm not surprised that it was a Safari. Iβve had similar issues with ink drying out on my LAMY nibs (not as badly as Parker pens tho).
So that nib doesnβt dry out on me, Iβve started using that pen daily for journaling. Justttt in case, I also have a little water container to dip it in if it gets dry.

@D. B. Stuck I may or may not have spent $200 on new inks today.
I'd say not to tell my partner, but she was the instigator. We're really bad at keeping eachother accountable for this stuff.
Good thing it's a three paycheque month. π
Okay, so I've seen a thing were people will send a box of #FountainPen ink samples around by mail from person to person. Individuals will add and remove inks from this box, recording the changes in a log book. It seems like a really cool way to get exposed to new inks, and I'd really like to participate in one of these. Is anyone doing this in Canada?

Shaved my beard off for the first time in a while. I was definitely carrying a little less weight the last time I was smooth-faced. The beard was concealing it more than I realized.
This might've been a mistake.
Does anyone in the #FountainPen community know how to dismantle a LAMY Z28 converter for cleaning? I found a video on YouTube that supposedly demonstrates this
but my converters look different than theirs. I suspect mine are of an older design. I suspect they're just missing the metal part, but I want to make sure I'm not going to break them by trying this.
This is what all of my converters look like:

It seems they are the same design after all, it's just that the metal ring has some sort of coating on it for some reason. I've gotten the offending converter apart and am running it through the cleaner. We'll see if I can get it back together again afterward.
Fortunately, I have a few converters and don't usually ink up all of my LAMYs at once.
Katy got me some chocolates that are only 4g of sugar each. They're really good.
This seemed like a good idea at the time, bit not so much when I eat a dozen of them in a single sitting.

One of the things nobody tells you about wearing #glasses is how annoying it is to keep them clean. I had resigned myself to the fact that there would just always be some degree of smearing in my field of vision. Try as I might, I could never get them quite as clean as the day I got them.
Then I got an ultrasonic cleaner for my #FountainPen hobby and realized I could use it to clean my glasses as well.
10/10 would recommend. Seriously, if you wear glasses, I highly recommend investing in one. It was one of the best purchases I've ever made.

@Tallastro πΊπ¦ I had two pens inked up with dark inks. One with Parker Quink Black and the other with Diamine Chilly Nights. I hadn't really handled either, but they were both in the same bag with the pen I was using. I see no evidence of leaking.
Interestingly enough, the pen I was using had previously been filled with green ink, but I'd cleaned* and re-inked it with something else a couple days prior. Maybe it was a leftover ink stain from when I did that? They usually don't hang around that long though.
* There was an ultrasonic cleaner involved, so it should've been really clean.

I am now the proud owner of an ultrasonic cleaner for my #FountainPens which, per the instructions, is "suitable for lazy people in sports without rolling hair".
So that's good... I guess?

So it turns out I got the little cards confused. That one was for the portable neck fan that was in the same order.
I guess that makes a little more sense, but still.

My replacement TWSBI cap finally arrived today. Went to finally ink the pen up only to discover that the thread that connects the nib assembly is broken.
I know I can order a replacement nib assembly relatively inexpensively, but I don't know if the thread in the pen body is intact either.
It looks like when I lost the cap I didn't clean the pen out properly before putting it in storage and there was still some ink sitting in it for a few years. I don't know if that was what caused the damage.
My local pen shop apparently has an AL in stock, and I happen to have gotten a gift card for them for Christmas that would cover the difference between the Diamond 580 and the AL. Perhaps it's time to upgrade?

Despite her best efforts, there are still some aspects of #ADHD that my partner struggles to comprehend. She's been trying to learn more where she can. As a result, a lot of ADHD stuff has been cropping up in her YouTube recommendations.
Anyhow, today we watched a video where a comedian was talking about his wife having ADHD. While we didn't expect it to necessarily be educational, we were up for a good laugh. All I can say is that I wonder if this man's wife watches his stand-up routine. If so, how the hell is he still married?
His whole bit was just the guy ragging on his wife and spewing every possible harmful stereotype about ADHD imaginable. I literally wanted to punch the guy in the mouth two minutes in. One of his punchlines was literally "I'd want to cut myself too".
Is this seriously what passes for comedy?

in reply to Jonathan Lamothe • • •yup. Same over here. Idk what's the deal with @SDF #XMPP server but it sure needs some love and care ...
I just got an account on other ( a German based ) server and that was about it. No need to set my own server for the time being π
