"Need a syringe"

Just had my first go using a blunt syringe with a 3D-printed ink miser to load my piston filler daily journal fountain pen. The ink in the big bottle was now too low a level for me to get a good fill directly. But my neurological illness hands were rather terrified of today's process! But it worked brill. Filled the syringe, then the ink miser (almost totally full), then filled through the pen nib using the piston filler. Worked brilliantly, and I didn't knock anything over! Just a little ink left over in the miser, which I poured back into the bottle. Very happy fountain pen user. Martin was around today, but I decided to try to tackle this myself. And it worked.

Newly started reading

The printed user guide to the Ink interactive fiction system. I’ve only ever written parser-based interactive fiction, but am interested in trying choice-based, and this looks like a good place to start. And more comfortable for me to read than the admittedly excellent web reference materials for the system.
