@skoobz Appreciate the check-in. We ended up pretty good. For the most part, it took a slightly unexpected eastward route that spared us.


@pratik What is your current cross post strategy? Are you maintaining separate accounts everywhere? I currently just use the Micro.blog Mastodon account thing.


@grubz @larand Thanks. I thought I’d seen a couple blogs where replies showed, but I might’ve gotten stuff mixed up.


@pratik Same issues for me.


@pratik It’s definitely an improvement with the open in thing. And yes, lots of room for more. If they continue to develop, I can see them both being useful.


@DaveyCraney This definitely eases the pain point. It’s not perfect but at least better.


@pratik If you send me a sketch (can be really rough) of what you’re thinking, I’ll let you know what I would’ve quoted when I did freelance as a reference for you.


@gregmoore Hmm makes sense. What other things have you made?


@gregmoore That’s really cool. I wish there was a brick and mortar place I could go around here. Maybe there’s something I don’t know about.


@gregmoore I don’t even know where to begin with that. Qualities and thickness and threads and stitching and all that. Got any photos of what you’ve done?


@gregmoore @otaviocc I have the sheath in the photo. I’ve also ordered a custom sheath with card slots and the Bellroy one to try. I’ve ordered and returned the Field Notes branded (not Bellroy one). And I’m considering one of these. Gotta find the perfect one!


@alexandra I have the M-301 (pencil) with me at my desk right now. I used the F-301 all through college. Another good option in my opinion is the F-701. I carried it for a while because it is a little more robust (without being bigger). It's the best budget all metal pen I've ever used for sure.


@otaviocc I have that cover bookmarked and I keep going back to look at it. Same for the Tactile Turn pen. I have questions! How's it holding up? Is it beg enough to keep the pen inside when closed? Fit in a back jeans pocket? Any other stuff I should know?


@alexandra Working on a pen upgrade. The Signo DX has the best refill in my opinion. I have some machined pens en route that will work with it.


@skoobz @ronnie There is no comparison I can find other than this blurb. And it’s misleading. The mini version DOES include map layers, sources, and notifications. It just has a few minor limits to them.

The only way to get it that I’ve found is to have an existing subscription (the free trial will work), then go to subscriptions management in iOS settings (not in the Carrot app). From there you can manage the subscription and change to the Mini plan.

@yostos No problem. Appreciate you pointing it out.


@yostos Thank you. Pushed out a fix this morning.


@canneddragons That’s a huge compliment. Thank you!


@mcg I tried a few more times and it finally went through. Thanks.


@markstoneman Good find, and I just responded on the help board. I'm seeing it across just about every micro.blog site, regardless of theme. I think this one will require @manton.


@manton Switch to Lex's Games instead.


@rickardlindberg Welcome to M.b! And killer theme! ;-)


@crossingthethreshold @alexandra @mandaris @pratik Thank you all for the kind words. It was primarily some medical stuff with 2 of my immediate family. But in the end, it looks like both will make full recoveries.


@otaviocc I like it!


@maique I took the plunge on the developer beta on my main device (yes, I know). I'm now running the 18.1 beta 2 with AI and I have virtually no issues. Perhaps a little bit lower battery life? For a while "recent" emojis weren't populated, but that's fixed. I use it all day every day and have been happy with it.
