This morning I got an idea again for an PHP/mySQL app, nothing new, just a sandwich ordering system. Actually a whole back-end with products management, clients, login, etc. Just the regular PH programming for practice.
I’m tired of just using print paper to draw up the database so I went shopping for a note block.
I ended up with the Rhodia Bloc #18, blank A4 pages. I also needed an orange pen for detailing, the only one they had was a Pentel Slicci 0.7mm. I rather have 0.4mm or less but the shop doesn’t has any and like I mentioned in an other entry I can only get good pens online and not in stores here.
I’m happy with the paper quality, I already filled the first one with SQL tables using a black Sharpie pen and some detailing with the Pentel. I’m not a fan of huge note blocks but this is better then having countless of lose A4 papers scattered all around. I’m still resisting the urge to order again at JetPens, buying pens and paper is addicting.
I have been using Field Notes notebooks since early this year. I use a graph one daily to keep my temp and weight data. The lined one for ideas and website details and the blank one for on the go. The pen and pencil are put to good use also.
When they announced the colors version I was disappointed it was subscription only as I rather only buy colors I really like, and 129 dollars is a bit steep to spend at once on notebooks. So I was very happy when I found out that their latest color “Just Below Zero” is was available as a 3-pack also and ordered one right away.
Today I got it in the mail with the usual extras of pen, pencil, rubber band, sticker and a button.
The lettering on the covers are done in shiny silver and look pretty nice. If you depend on the info inside the back cover you’ll have a hard time reading it in the light blue colored one. But my 3-pack is nicely stored until I get a good use for one of them. They are limited editions after all.
Hopefully my notebook needs have been satisfied for a while!
