Lucidchart: Diagram drawing tool

There are many drawing tool. And it is difficult to choice one from such drawing set. Because there are many different features.

Several years ago, I used OmmniGraffle (https://www.omnigroup.com/omnigraffle)
It is also good tool for drawing. Because OmmniGraffle has many pre-provided object not only UML diagram but also room-design, circuits-design, chemical diagram, etc, etc..... And ommnigraffle has good and easy to use UI. So, it is not so difficult to drawing diagram as me who is awkward. (^_^ ;;;) However, it is not easy to share data with several computers.You need several installation of ommigraffle onto individual mac, and you need to share your graph data using some way as using e-mail, network storages, dropbox, box.com, or some other way. If you forget to make data onto such storage, then you need to remake from zero.

Recently (this 3 - 4 years), I switch to use Lucidchart. Lucidchart has more simple interface and objects than ommnigraffle. So, it is much easy to use. The UI is simple but well designed for using.  However, I don't need to install any software on my computer, because Lcidchart works on web browser as GoogleChrome. So, you don't need to consider operation system choice. You can install Lchidachart from chrome store. And you can save your data onto google drive. So, you can edit and use your data on any place if you have the Internet connection. And you can export your diageams as PDF, PDN, JPEG, and so on.  Pricing of Luchdchrat is not cheep but not expeincive. it is same level with other software. 5USD per month. So, you need 60USD per year. A drawing software life time is 2 years to 3 years. So, 60 USD is not so cheep and expensive. But, Lucidchart also have free user account. It have many limitation from payed version. However, it is also enough usable.

And, it is also good point for me. Lucidchart can inport data of Ommnigraffle. So, you can use old data, if you used omminigraffle.

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 ...

Pocket WiFi + Nexus One

Last a month, I used PocketWiFi with B-Mobile SIM + Google Nexus One with Softbank mobile SIM. I used this combination for a month because the softbank mobile had problem for 3G data communication due to the wrong parameter written by staff. The communication speed was too slow. So, I try to use B-Mobile for data communication. I wanted to use b-mobile but I didn't want to change the phone plan from softbank. Then, I try to use Pocket WiFi. The largest merit of using PocketWiFi is that we can use 3G network at most 6 devices at a same time. When we are starbacks, some coffee stand, or some other places we can use 3G network through the wifi. The speed was enough for web browser. However, for the data communicating through the android application, some of them didn't work. And, the buttery power also had problem. I need to charge the buttery every 1-2 days, even if i didn't use it. And, I had some situation that I wanted to use it however I forgot to bring it with me or to c...
