01:35:29 -!- wooby has joined. 02:38:46 -!- Arrogant has joined. 02:51:37 What types of pens/markers would be suitable for drawing with my own custom "ink" comprised of a fine particulate suspended in water? Someone pointed out radiograph pens to me, what other options are there? 02:55:57 might I ask what this is for? 02:58:45 Seems like felt-tip pens would fail because they would tend to filter the water from the particulate. In general, I suppose a traditional fountain pen might do the trick. 02:59:55 aye, i already tried a refillable "sharpie" clone 03:00:00 the tip does filter far too much 03:00:05 yeah 03:00:15 the water isnt viscuous enough for a normal fountain pen 03:00:29 A quill! 03:00:55 have you tried any rollerball-type pens? Normal ballpoints depend on a pressurized cartridge, but many rollerballs are gravity-feed. 03:01:02 heh, a quill is a tempting proposition, but real quills are UV-transparent and i need something in a UV-opaque container. i could paint it, but that would look even dumber 03:01:13 heh 03:01:15 the particulate isnt fine enough to use a roller pen 03:01:22 dayum. 03:01:37 Or any other such object that can hold a particulate and whose tip can be fined to mimic a writing implement. 03:01:39 the ink is UV reactive, has to stay 'in the dark' until its used 03:01:48 I think thick grass works quicte well too. 03:01:53 *quite 03:02:07 hm. an interesting idea 03:03:03 what are you looking for, line-thickness wise? 03:03:34 My 10 minute port of RawIRC is very exciting. It connects to a simulated IRC server that says ``This is a message!'' in the message window, and you can also write onto this make-believe server. Of course, it can't handle such trivialities like Backspace. 03:03:45 Or should I say DELETE, in UNIX terms. 03:03:50 cool 03:04:08 what is it for, aside from mental stimulation? 03:04:32 Just to get a bit of practice for writing a real IRC client that I want to write to address a good few issues with irssi. 03:04:46 Plus this is a version of RawIRC extensible in the language it's written in! 03:05:01 oooh. bonus. 03:05:15 I'm gonna add a few more features, like the ability to define your own macro. 03:05:36 I may add an actual line style text-buffer, but that'll be a pain to implement. 03:06:16 seems like all you could possibly want for a macro language would be a slightly modified implementation of BF. 03:06:53 Bah. Just an RC file with a glossed-over API to the actual internals of the macro parser. 03:07:25 hm. 03:07:52 a simpler solution, perhaps, but less exciting. 03:13:58 RodgerTheGreat: .1mm ish 03:14:39 that's actually extremely fine- I think my best drawing pens are .2mm. :S 03:15:09 ahh 03:15:37 the pens im looking at now go quite a bit lower 03:15:47 yeesh 03:15:48 .2mm would be usable though 03:15:58 im not especially picky on size, the ink is going to spread significantly 03:16:05 I have to ask again, what is this for? 03:16:33 silver nitrate tattooing 03:16:46 ...... :P 03:17:18 i have been using applicators directly, but the level of control and detail is quite lacking 03:17:37 so im considering trying to dissolve it into solution myself and use a pen of some sort 03:20:45 hm. 03:21:14 the trick is finding something with reliable flow 03:21:18 since the "ink" is invisible 03:21:24 gaps in the flow would suck 03:21:31 until it stains the skin, of course. 03:21:32 but so would over-flow 03:21:45 its still invisible until it gets a good dose of UV 03:30:16 AgNO3! 03:37:21 yep, that stuff 03:37:39 in quite non-toxic quantities, don't let the wikipedia page or MSDS scare you :) 03:46:21 I know enough about AgNO3 through Chemistry class :P. 03:49:56 -!- CakeProphet has quit ("haaaaaaaaaa"). 04:23:33 -!- GregorR-L has joined. 05:13:49 -!- Arrogant has quit ("Leaving"). 06:18:25 -!- GregorR-L has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)). 06:28:54 -!- Sgeo has quit ("Ex-Chat"). 07:32:47 -!- pgimeno has quit ("You're lucky as you can read this message but I can't"). 07:59:55 -!- pgimeno has joined. 07:59:59 -!- clog has quit (ended). 08:00:00 -!- clog has joined. 08:00:36 -!- ivan` has joined. 08:07:28 -!- pgimeno has quit ("You're lucky as you can read this message but I can't"). 08:14:25 -!- pgimeno has joined. 09:07:03 -!- ivan` has quit (" Want to be different?
