    My Wacom stylus finally got worn down until it was flat with the end of the pen. I looked online for replacements but couldn't find any. It seems I have to buy a new pen for hundreds of money. Instead I decided that as the nib is actually about an inch long with only 2 or 3mm needing to protrude, I would just find a way of boosting it by dropping some kind of chock down the barrel. In the end I opted for a 3mm piece of graphite which worked fine except the nib kept falling out. So then I stuck a tiny slither of masking tape up the side of the nib but it then jammed after tapping it, making tap-clicks impossible to unclick. So then I abrased the masking tape slither with the back of my nail and found the perfect balance.

    It has worked well for weeks, but now I am double posting, selecting and deselecting instantaneously, and finding myself unabel to let go of elements that I am moving about my screen. I tis for this reason that I am also making double posts.

    What interests me though is that other people also seem to be making lots of double posts this week. Its as though my faulty Wacom pen has a field of morphic resonance.
