Is there a way to tell #Emacs #org-mode to omit yhe TOC and headline numbers when exporting to a text or markdown file? I'm trying to implement a #JohnnyDecimal system, so I'm supplying my own numbers and the 00.00-index.org file essentially is the table of contents.

I really should just set up my own #XMPP server. I've had no end of issues with SDF's lately.

TIL Mormon vegans exist. I wonder how they reconcile that with D&C 49:18-19.

Aargh! I thought I'd worked out a system to help with my #ADHD, and it was working for a while. Unfortunately, it involved using the alarm on my watch, which my brain is now just starting to filter out as background noise.

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.

Who was the genius that decided that Cult Pens' search bar should disappear as you're typing in it on mobile? This person belongs in UX jail.

Hooray! I finally got my #BaystateBlue #FountainPen flowing properly again. It only took about a month of finicking with it. Now all I have to do is not leave ink to dry out in it for over a year again...

The paper is also a factor.

It blows my mind how the exact same ink can look so completely different between two different #FountainPens.

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 removed 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?

This is an example of what I'm talking about.

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 this:

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.

How did I get green ink on my hands? I don't even have any #FountainPens currently inked with green.

So this is entirely a "me" problem, but it makes me crazy when people say "a fourth cup". It sounds so clunky. Do they not know the word "quarter"?

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?

Say what you will about the materials quality of #TWSBI pens, but their customer service is top-notch. They're working on sending me replacement parts for my pen, though there are still some lingering shipping issues in the aftermath of the Canada Post strike. #FountainPens

On a more positive note. One of the inks I ordered came with a free eye-dropper #FountainPen. For a free (with purchase) pen, it's pretty nice.

I've reached out to TWSBI to find out if it's possible to get a replacement barrel for the pen. If so, I know the replacement nib assemblies are relatively inexpensive. This is turning into the Pen of Theseus.
