Rail line history museum @ Shinbashi, Tokyo, Japan

   Several weeks ago, I found a history of rail line museum around Shinbashi station. I usually walk around that point on weekend. However, I walked 2nd floor at that point. And I did not know about a museum on 1st floor. Our weekend walking is changed from distance oriented to unknown load finding. We just enter a small street and then that small street connected new world.

  Shinbashi is an important area for rail line in Japan. Because, Shinbashi started a history of japanese business rail line. The betting of business rail line started from shinbashi to yokohama at 1872. 9 trains on every day were operated at that time. It was needed 53 minutes for one way (it is needed 20 - 26 minutes, now). Average passengers were 4300 people per day. Bothe Terminal stations on that line required many functions, so both stations were not only passenger line station but also transportation base.


  A function of main terminal of passenger station moved from Shinbashi station to Tokyo station 1914. So, only goods train terminal function was kept on Shinbashi station. And then, Shinbashi station was renamed to Shiodome station.

  This rail line history museum shows such histories. And most explains are in english, too.  Inside a museum, we can not take photo. So, I do not have any photo inside it. However, I recommend to go this history museum. Actually, this museum is for free. I was surprised about it.


A  museum is used an old building that is kept since meiji japanese period (1862 - 1912). We can see  such classic building in jungle of many skyscrapers. To see this building is also enough value.

 Following photo is a view of entrance of this museum.
  I am not sure, but probably this is a cafe space. This is opposite side of entrance. In case, this space is only for specific event.I came here just before last admission time. So, a cafe was already dark.

gDisk 0.6.1

Today, I try to use new gDisk version 0.6.1. Before version, I cannot see what files are on the server side. But current version I could do it. I think it is better than before version and it began to useful for backup software. But it has one problem.... When I uploaded more than 10 files at same time, it was clash down. I try to do it at 2-3 times but result was same..... I think it is one of the bag or the documents said about it (Actuary I read no document about it for this version)

SSID in japanese?

Usually, we don't use japanese for setting to computer. Because, japaese needs at least two byte. Usually, many computer systems are designed for one byte. So, to use japanese in the system setting was not common way. If he is usual engineer then he will not set japanese for the setting to SSID. I was not do such a thing. Today, i read a tweet written by my friend. He wrote that he could see the japanese ssid from his house. I was really  suprized when i read it. So, I asked prof. Google about this ssid expression in japanese. So, it is  exist. Now, I had no wireless devces for trying it. But,it is so intersting thing for me.
