We went to Osaka last week end for meeting with my family.  And, to see a sea zoo which is the largest class of sea zoo in japan. Because my wife wanted to see Whale shark (ジンベイザメ ) which is the largest fish in the world. Whole Shark ::  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whale_shark Kaiyukan      ::  http://www.kaiyukan.com/language/eng/ This is a whale shark The shark came to Kaiyu-kan last month. Because, there were two whole shark but sadly there were dead. So, two of new whole sharks came again. The shark is one of the most famous life in Kaiyu-kan.  You can see them more clearly if you go there. The water tank is third floor level on building of height. And they are many fishes in same water tank. And our camera is not so good. So there photo is not clear ^_^; Not only whale sharks but also penguins are also famous life in the Kaiyukan. Some kind of penguins are same place and we can easily compare there difference. On there pictures, we can see only one or

Today, we went to stroll from tokyo station to Akihabara then to our room. We walked to Kanda area then to Akihabara. Akihabara is behind of Kanada from Tokyo station. When that time, we found several nice restaurant which have outdoor terraces. Many people take beer around there. And they are using under the JR rail lines. When we go to Akihabara, we just saw the place. The place not only for restaurant but also some sundry goods shops. It is so interesting place not only for japanese but also international tourist. Some young and not famous artists sell many items. They are bit modern but also traditional design. And the design beings oversea stile to japanese stile. The prices are also not so experience. There pictures are opposite side from what I said above. But this side is the main part of this article. ^_^ As above bottle of bear, inside of the shop has many beer which are made in japan. (some beer are imported from Belgium. We bought Shonan gold (this is lemon b

I wrote about a service which we can buy glasses by the internet. We try to use the service. 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

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

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.

This is not an article which I write for public space..... Recently, my main desktop pc was kept cool. Because after I moved my current flat, my computer need wireless connection environment for the internet but it does not have. And, I have bought a small wireless connecter as following. After I got it, I try to boot my computer.... then .... sadly it is die just after boots a bios...... Today, i take it from behind my desk and open the box and trying to start it then I got ubuntu screen! Finally, i can use my computer, Above, wireless client connector, I could use on ubuntu linux with nothing to do. Well.... when i open my computer... the ubuntu version was 12.xLTE........ ~_~;;; now i am waiting version up

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

Doraemon is one of the most famous anime in japan.  Doraemon came(?) for helping one kid who has so weak heart (spirit?). Doraemon helps the kid using many items from future. He will be born just 100 years' later from Today (Yesterday 3/9). Doraemon http://dora-world.com/index.html Ahahahahaha! Google start to provide following. If you have an android phone, you can use voice search. When you ask "droemo~~~n" using the voice searching tool, you will be able to see something ^^ And, if you are an iPhone user, then u need to download  the search app. You can download from the page.

   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

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

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

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

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..... ~_~;;;

I reviewed little bit about sony ericsson Xperia ray, when I update from GB to ICS. Well, from the beginning, one of the problem on my phone is the function of phone call. This is not only for ICS but also for GB. Because, for me, the largest application is address book. Usually, I use default address book app. When I start up the address book app, it is ok. First problem is scrolling. Sometime, the app gets a crash, when i try to scroll down my address book. And second one is when i try calling. When I call someone, I open address book then I choose one of elements in list. when the time, the state changing from address book to calling has more than 3 seconds. I don't know why it is happened. But, it is one of big problem for me.... because it is mobile phone...... ~_~;;; I think next topic is related with above thing. The next topic is about memory (RAM.) I think(not sure, because i forget) the xperia ray has 512MB of ram.  The real usable size of ram is 340MB. It was enough

   Usually, our system becomes speed (performance) down, when we install many application. We can say same thing onto our android phone.    Some of my friends also said same thing. In this post, I did not any evaluate about anything. All of my writing in this post is only from my experience and feeling.   Many case, the performance down on android comes from RAM space. I used task manager for this problem 2years ago. And some people do it. Well, I found one thing. We can control the task execution because of the application. However, many of android task managers are executed as background process. Such kind of application will be one factor for speed down.  I removed such kind of background executed task manager.   This is my result to use android mobile phone. The problem for speed down is application cache and background executed process.  So, I use two application.   First application is app2sd. The main feature of app2sd is move application from phone strage to sd card. Ho

As the title, I think you should not update from old version of Ubuntu to latest version of ubuntu. Yes, if you customize so much and to re-customize is quite difficult then you can not avoid update.  However, if you do not customize so much then you should remove current installed ubuntu and cleaninstall the latest version. The reason is following. From 08.04, I had many troubles for ubuntu update especially X configuration. I use 4 different ubuntu desktop and 2 virtual computer on vmware. Only on vmware's ubuntu can be update safely. My friend is also using ubuntu. However, his computer also had many troubles. He using some server software on ubuntu. So, he did want to update from zero. And his computer got crash before x started. He used some days for repair that problem. For me, many of computers are only for desktop except one computer. So, usually, I update them and got crash then I remove them and reinstall from zero. Because, I don't want to use time for repair the

There are many pre-posts what I wrote bit but not completed in my dashboard ^^;;;

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

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

  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

 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
