The step was following. 1. find glasses frame which you want to try at most 5 glasses. 2. create your account onto the site. 3. put your credit card information    if you will buy some of them, the payment will come. And, if you don't like all of them, you just need to return them. then you will not have any payment from the site. it is as deposit if you will not return some glasses. 4. wait them until post officer bring it to you 5. try them for 5 days 6. if you want to buy some of them, then you just select which glasses do you want to buy. and which glasses do you want to return ( Sure, you can return all of them, too. if you don't like them, when you try real glasses.) the posting cost for both way are for free. In this time, there are no glasses which we want to buy. So, we return them. But, we will try some other frame later (im not sure when i will do) but we can try th

Glasses shopping in the internet

Today, my wife found a good web site which sells glasses. Usually, to find good grasses on the internet is so difficult. Because , we need to make images from cyber cpace to real physical space. However, the following site is so nice. メガネ通販(眼鏡・めがね)のOMG(オーマイグラス) : How nice is that you can select at most 5 glasses from more than 20,000 of glasses. Then you put several your information includes your credit card information. Then they will post them by mail. And you can try them in 5 days. If you have good glasses in them, you can buy one of it. Or, if you don't have any good glasses then you can return them. Both of getting and returning postage are for free. You just receive them and put them inside the box which you received with glasses then you just bring the box to post service, If you want the glasses with degrees then you need return them and tell your thick degree then they will post your glasses with degree again. Sure, the postage cost is for free. Sadly, t

traffic in tokyo

it is second raining season after i moved to Tokyo. today, i write about my life in Tokyo. because, I'm waiting for clinic for eyes. many people said that the public transportation in lush hour are hell. but, it is not so much. yes, my weight of body is not light, so I'm easier than women. but i imaged worth than actual.if you have  few experience to public transportation life or smaller than average size of body, then you may fell it as hell. I'm feeling that most trains in Tokyo enter to station is so fast... sometimes, i feel scared because of the speed when i wait a train. so many days, at least one line are stopped the services or delayed. some reasons are due to a person jumped into rail line. i think one of the problems about it is a entry speed into station.... the speed is such fast. well, other reason of public transportation delayed is fighting among passengers. the reason is so hard for waiting to restart of service. i write about transportation, today.

Bushi no kondate (武士の献立)

Today, I watched a movie on hulu. The movie is "Bushi no kondate (武士の献立)" It was around middle of Edo period in japan (around 1700's.) Bushi was a almost same as government employees. Cooks for castle not only shogun but also other Daimyo (load) were also a position of bushi. Main character was a cook of Kaga states because of his family roots. Kaga had a big load at that time. So, it had/has good food culture since such ages. ( I like there area's foods, too. ) But, main character did not like his work because cook is not main stream of samurai works. And his father found good woman who had good skill of cooking for his sun's wife. This movie is about such couple's life. They had many problems at there life, but they could pass there problems because of wife's wit.  It was nice story, and if you dont have any knowledge about such japanese period, but wou will be able to enjoy this movie ( I think) http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%AD%A6%E5%A3%AB%E3%81%AE

Bottle salad for lunch

Recently, my wife cook bottle salad for my lunch (also for breakfast.) Many magazines for women, they introduce a style of lunch in there office.  Bottle salads are also a style of luche in office life. Above salads are chicken salad. Bottle salad is layered as above. Each layer should keep isolated each other. It may be looked bad thing by first inspiration because sauce can not be mixed bely well. However, imagine, if you will eat this salad just after bottle, then you can mix very well similar with to put them on salad ball. However, this salad is cooked one night before to eat. And the most important thing is how to keep cleanness in a bottle. Many books introduce boiling of a bottle. But it needs much time than nothing to do. Because we need to make boiled water and  put bottle inside water. Then cooling weel. Usually, we use kitchen alcohol spray for kitchen staffs. It is much easier than boiling water. And we also need to care about water from grasses. It makes condens

D's Farm 2015

I have another topic what I want to write about software service...... But, it is different topic today. One month ago, I starts to make my farm in balcony of our room. We already had 3 foliage plants in our room. But there are only for green in out room.  So, we start to make farm for herbs and vegetables in our balcony, because it was a golden week (national holidays' week in japan.) So, I start to write blog articles about our farm. This is the 1st writing about it. Our farm has three pots for herbs and vegetable. 1st is three rosemaries and japanese pepper tree. Usually, growing speed of rosemary is too slow, if we start from seed. I had an experience to do from seen when I was grad student. It was needed more than 2 years from seed to this size. So we bought rosemary sapling. The two of green rosemary, I bought them 2 weeks ago. And I bought last one  on more than one month ago. I put it smaller pot. But it did not take root well. Now, it become to recover. ( I

Compering maps

Today, I read a news which was about a service for map. Recently, we use google, yahoo  or other maps on your computer and your mobile phone. I like there system, because I don't need to being any paper when I go some unknown places (in my country.) And, we can make virtual travel using the map. The following link is point to a service for a map which you can compare current map in Japan and old days map in Japan at same screen. The current version has limitation for supported area, however you can check for big cities as Tokyo area, Osaka area and some others. (And the service is provided in Japanese. I don't think you don't need to be able to read japanese when you check the map in many situation. ) When you want to find new your house, you can check the old days' structure of ground. There are many earth quake in japan. So, if your new place were in a sea or river, then you will have many risks for living in your new house. In such situation, we can also use th

Password.....Password?

I'm not specialist for security and I don't know very well about google authentication mechanism. However, recently, many web sites use google authentication mechanism. It is good idea because the site administrator does not need to have clients' passwords. And, I also like using the services onto many web sites. It is for not only security but also easy to make new accounts. However, some sites are support not only for desktop/ laptop service but also mobile clients. Yes, I also want to use there services from my mobile phone. However, in many cases, I need to input my login name and login password onto the mobile clients. Well..... I thought I don't need to input any password when I want to use there services, because I use google account. And, I don't have any password on the server, because I didn't create any password.... I think the mechanism is worth than not to use google account. Because some people who has no interest in computer use same passwor

security policy <--> system design <--> contents design

Last week end, I went to Tokyo for recruit activity. After finishing everything, I met with my friend's couple. We enjoyed the time. And we went to showroom for a thing (I should not say more ^^;;;), because we had small time. Then the organization provides a terminal which introduce about their activities. I found security hall in the system, which comes from weak communication when they design the system. The system is following. The system has only one input device, which is mouse. The system provides full screen web browser. The web browser is limited version for function.  The system has no keyboard. So, users can use only the limited web browser. And the organization uses twitter. The twitter account publishes about their activity with no link or link to inside of there contents. This meaning is that users can not exit from their contents. (usually....) If the system provides only above, then this system is completely perfect. However, the twitter's account profile li

How to install stencil to OmniGraffle, when the installing is not work correctly.

Yesterday, I fought with installation of OmniGraffle Stencils. OmniGraffle is designing tool for diagrams, website elements, and graphics. This tool is strong for them on MacOSX. http://www.omnigroup.com/products/omnigraffle/ Stencils are set of clip arts for omnigraffle. In default, OmniGraffle has enough stencils, but you can DL from following site, too. I wanted to use some specific clip arts, so I try to find them from following site. http://graffletopia.com/ When I downloaded UML2 collection from the site, the package was wrapped with ZIP. So, I unziped it. Then the file has no extension. Usually, we just need to double click the downloaded file for installing the stencils. When I double clicked the file, Mac OSX detect the file to open with XML editer. I tried something for installing it. But it was not working include manual installing. Today, I downloaded other stencil form the site. Then the file has an extension as "gstencil". And, I could install the stenc

How to use several virtual desktop on osx (linon)?

Usually, I used two or more virtual desktop on mac osx (before snowleopard). Commonly, we can use virtual desktop using "control and right or left arrow button." However, after the lion, i could not find any virtual desktop. Today, I find this virtual desktop function on lion. On default, there is only one virtual desktop. When you press F3 button, you will be able to see all windows at same time. On this screen, you will see + button top and left side of the screen, when you move mouse cursor to the point. Then click the button. You will be able to use several other virtual desktop. For the removing the optional virtual desktops, you just need to push x button on the list of virtual desktop on the top of screen.

about the radio program in this morning

Official page : Eva Aine Eva Aine (getstage.com) I listened to her music over the radio, when I drove this morning. I didn't know about her, but I like her voice. She was born in Washington state. But she spoke in japanese in the radio. She said in the radio program, most musics are in english but almost 30% of her musics are in japanese.

Box.com for osx : official client comes

   There are many cloud strage services in the world. For example, Dropbox, suger sync, google drive and box.com.    Today, I focus to box.com. Because, lately, box.com started to provide a new version of client for Mac OSX. The previous version's client of box.com for OSX had many limitation. The largest problem was that the client can not sync between local strage and box.com. The previous version could just mount as ftp servers and add or remove from the system. It was big limitation for using cloud stile of strage.   However, the strongest part of box.com is strage size. Now, I can use 50GB for free. So, I didn't want to remove this account. On another side, it was difficult to manage data on Mac OSX. Because I needed to access from web browser to box.com then to upload file from the interface on web browser.   Now, the lastest version of client for box.com starts the sync function on OSX. So, I try to use new version.   My stile for cloud strage is following. I us

Bicycle insurance in japan

Long time, I was considering about bicycle insurance. Many japanese are not consider about insurance for bicycle in japan. Because japan is weak country for insurance. Many people considered about when they are attacked by car. They didn't have an idea what they may be going to be individual at fault. However, road bikes are faster than my MTB. And, many of city bikes do not turn on a head light after sunset. The old person has also no idea what the bicycles can ride so fast as 50cc motar bike. Then they easy enter in front of bicycles. Such kind of accident is not few in japan. And, the worst case of such accident, the road bike rider needed to pay 40 millions yen to attacked person. Bicycle ride's bad manner have begun to social issues. Some bicycle riders do not follow the traffic lights or traffic signs. In such background, sometime, I have risks what I will be attacked by such bicycle riders when I ride my MTB. However, as above reason, many riders have no insurance

PET bottle tea

There are many kind of tea in the world. Japanese also drink many kind of teas. Maccya is one of the famous japanese tea. Usually, many kind of teas are filtered for preparing. Maccya is used tea leaves powder. So, we can drink tea leaves themselves, too. Well, as a title of this post, there are many kind of tea what is bottles into PET bottles. We can easy to find them in convenience stores. Usually, the pet bottle tea is already filtered.  The filtered tea bottles are also tasty. But I like following product's both of taste and idea. The bottle has capsule inside the cap. Can you see the cap of this bottle? This cap is much longer than usual PET bottle. And inside of the cap has a tea leaves powder as next picture. And, the body has just water. It is usual water until we open the bottle cap. This picture is about cut plane of cap. The dark green part is hard cap. And white part is mouth of bottle. Light green part is the powder. Next picture is about the

Photo : Android, Dropbox, Google+

Almost all of week end, I ride my MTB in the city. I want to try real mountain, but I have no known person who can go mountain with me. ^^;; Well, to take photo with cycling is also interesting thing, when i ride. And to make write blog makes me fun. I write it in japanese on other server. Usually, I use two cameras for taking photo. One is cheep digital camera. Using digital camera can take good quality of photo. And, I can use big size of storage. The cpu on camera is specialized for taking photo.  Another one is my mobile phone.  The quality of processor for taking photo is not so good on mobile phone. However, it is good for taking sun. When we use good quality camera, every light effect is computed by processor. It is good. But, when we use mobile phone then we can take sun with light line or cross. The mobile phone does not compute such light effect, so we can take an amazing interest photo. Other reason of using mobile phone is data transfer. When we use digital camera, we

SNS : publishers - subscribers

Recently, many kind of SNS are released. Some of japanese go out to SNS what provides the service for world wide as FB, Twitter and Google+.  Well, google provides two different SNS. One is Google+ and another one is Youtube. Youtube live is provided from google+ hangout. The view from  connectibility of users they are two different thing. Facebook can allow only bidirectional connection between users. You can follow some page with like button, but it is little bit difference. Twitter and google+ can allow the one way connection between users.  This difference comes from the view of publisher and subscribes , i think. On twitter and google+, publisher wants to describe something to others. But, the publisher don't want to care about who has interest in the published contents. If the user has interest in the contents then the user will subscribe the publisher. On the facebook, the publisher want to tell something to his friends. So, the main target of subscriber is publisher'

Last sunday, I went to cycling with my friend. After finishing to ride, we entered to convenience store. Then we found a strange bottle. The bottle is named wasabi ginger ale!!! What????? Wasabi + Ginger ale???? We tried to drink this. This drink has strong ginger taste. I like this strong ginger taste, actually. Well..... where is a wasabi???? I drank little bit more...... Hummm........ I can not find the taste of wasabi...... Maybe...... 30 seconds later from drinking, I could feel small smell of wasabi..... I think the ginger taste was too strong for wasabi smell..... ~_~;;;
