Ubuntu 12.04 LTS : review

I tried to use Ubuntu 12.04 from last week. For the total view, I think 12.04 is the most stable version except default desktop. This meaning is that if you will clean-install from zero then the system is so stable. I tried to update from 11.10 to 12.04. The updating was completed. But it was not stable especially x-windows system. Usually, I work on ubuntu and intelli-j. So, x-windows system's problem is critical for me ^^;; Finally, I formated the system partition and reinstall 12.04 from zero. And, I changed window manager to GNOME, then the system became quite good. Before 11.10, my computer could not find sound board. ( my computer has one sound card, one onboard sound card, and one USB sound card) I think my computer could know the usual sound card when i installed 10.04(?). However, after some updating, the system could not find any sound card. So, I gave up to setting up and I bought new USB sound card. However, it was not worked on my computer, too.  However, when I

Xperia ray (ST18i) : GB ---> ICS

I use Xperia ray (ST18i). Xperia ray has multiple type of versions. I know JP version, US, North europa, Asia, and china. And, I know JP version is one of the worst version for new release because of economic and political reason. So, I bought from hong kong. However, china version also had different meaning of political reason. I thought it is good for SIM free version. However, the bad point is that the phone cannot access to google account even if it is android phone. So, i decided to flash the rom from 2.3 to 4.0. I used official rom for north europa version. Many sites explain how to change rom. So, I don't do this. This time, I got friend's help. Because, the rom flashing too is provided for Windows or Linux. I have linux machines but it has many risks for flashing rom with linux machine. I thought that I should wait for real release for my phone. The first release was last april for US version. And, I waited almost 1 month. However, it could not get new release. Th

Review :: Google Drive

  The first day when the google drive was released I try to use google drive. Actually, I thought I will not use google drive any more. Because, it has only 5GB strage for free and the provided client package for OSX was not work. And it was also difficult to manage the files from web browser.  The initial state, my home space had many files and directories what I created on google doc, google note, and etc. Actually, I didn't want to see them on this strage.....~_~;;;     Today, I try to install the google drive client for osx again. The client can be installed to my MacBookAir Lion. And, it works well. My personal opinion, the setting screen of sync policy has many spaces to improve. It is not so easy to understand. Finally, I removed all my data from my space. Because, I checked the select box what is only sync some folders to this computer. And, I sync them and I moved them into trash box ^^;;; Happily, I didn't need them.    Well, the client of google drive is almo

Smart phone app and disaster

 I already wrote about following in some place.  And, I also wrote this in japanese first. Because, I wanted to know about this for japanese engineers.  Many of u know the earth quake in japan, it was occurred one years ago. And, many of online services was developed or tested for such kind of disaster attacked.  Before the earth quake, I had claim weak buttery on smart phone. In the place where is attacked by disaster, it needs more than one weeks for recovering the infrastructure. However, current mobile phone especially mobile phone can be used only half day to 2 days. It is not enough in such situation. It is enough to call at least one know person. It is one opinion. However, in many case, it is also impossible to call one phone call to known person due to the network traffic jam. On another hand, facebook tested a online service what we can tell our life through the facebook, when disaster will be happened. Well.... the last version of this service was needed to access to fa

Player/stage javalient3 (Sorry, this post has no new information)

You can get the javaclient from                    http://java-player.sourceforge.net/ You can get the some sample code from                    http://java-player.sourceforge.net/examples-3.php It has many new elements.

Kindle cloud reader

Today, my chrome app pool has new app. Actually, I think it is installed automatically.... I'm not sure but I have no memory to install the app. The app is provided by amazon. Name of the app is "Kindle cloud reader". I installed kindle app to my mac. However, by this installation, i could delete the kindle app from my mac. Actually, I will not be able to read any books on my mac, when I go out. However, when that time, I'll have my nexus one and tablet. Both of them have the kindle app. Now, I try to buy some book with free cost. (it's very nice that i can get some kind of knowledge by free. But, I'm weak for english, so it is hard to read them for me.) And try to read it. Usually, I didn't use kindle app on my mac. because, I needed to boot special app for reading app. But, now, I don't need to boot any special app only needing is to push app on chrome. I read some pages. I'm reading "what is Node". I cannot explain about this book, y
