I can’t believe that the Olivetti decided to pitch a fit while I was writing about how I perceived printers to be temperamental. I know I made some errors in spelling up there but the star of the show is really how egregiously bad the ribbon messed up (it didn’t switch feed direction as intended, the little eyelet that’s supposed to swap it over got stuck) and how it inserted an extra space a few times.

It was still more fun to use, though.

I think it might be time to clear up one of the goals of this little “post typewritten documents online!” project. Aside from knowing that I can’t really play the SEO game, so I’m trying my level best to produce something maybe you’d want to read, the goal is to get used to producing work and publishing it.

This one, in particular, would’ve been something that I would’ve preferred to refine and keep back for a while. From experience, I know that means the article would’ve died a slow death lingering among files on my PC somewhere. It’s definitely not the most valuable article I’ve ever produced, but getting over the trepidation with regard to publishing work is valuable along a different axis.

I’ll probably discuss that more in some upcoming typewritten page or two.
